Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
There is provided a structure for positioning a first mold part of a mold on a mold mounting face in an injection molding machine. The structure comprises a positioner configured to connect the first mold part to part of the injection molding machine, wherein the positioner is adjustable to position the first mold part on the mold mounting face. The structure further comprises controller executable instructions executable in a controller with which to resolve an alignment parameter of the mold using a feedback signal from a sensor. Further provided is a method of operating an injection molding machine which method comprises the steps of positioning a first mold part of a mold on a mold mounting face using a positioner and appreciating an alignment parameter of the mold with reference to a feedback signal from a sensor.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A structure for positioning a mold on a mold mounting face in an injection molding machine, comprising: a first mold part including a mold plate having a connection interface configured to interconnect with a mold connection interface defined on a connection block recessed within a pocket defined in a first platen, the connection interface and the mold connection interface having a complementary configuration, a pin and recess, to interconnect so that selectively positioning the connection block within the pocket, positions the first mold part on a mold mounting face. 2. The structure of claim 1 , wherein the connection interface on the first mold part is the pin. 3. The structure of claim 2 , wherein the pin is a taper pin. 4. The structure of claim 1 , further comprising a sensor configured to provide a feedback signal to a controller for appreciating an alignment parameter of the mold, which alignment parameter includes one or more of a position of the first mold part on the mold mounting face relative to a second mold part.
