Abstract
An injection molding machine assembly for use with an operating injection machine comprises a tool unit mounting support adjacent the injection machine, a plasticizer and ejection unit mounting support adjacent the mounting support for the tool unit. Each support has associated with it a coupling element for connecting the associated tool unit or plasticizer and ejector into an operative condition or into a standby heating condition, for example. In addition there is a magazine which has at least one additional support for either or both of a tool unit and an ejection and plasticizing unit. An ejector and plasticizer is advantageously provided on a mounting support as well as in a magazine support. In addition a tool unit is provided on the mounting support or in the magazine support. A transport unit is associated with the magazine and tool in the ejector mountings and is movable between them for transporting one or both of a plasticizer and ejector or a tool unit to the mounting support in the operating position as desired. The construction advantageously includes a control for automatically effecting the transportation and the coupling of the units in the operating position adjacent the injection molding machine.
