Injection molding system with part positioning jig and pick and place tool

摘要

A pick and place tool including a part penetration element adapted to induce a generation of a compressive force by the part against the part penetration element, securing the part to the part penetration element. The pick and place tool secures a part at first location employing an induced compressive force by the part against a part penetration element of the pick and place tool. In one embodiment, a pick and place tool for picking a part while maintaining a selected part orientation includes a tool body and a part penetration element attached to the tool body, the part penetration element adapted to induce a compressive force by the part against the part penetration element, securing the part to the part penetration element in a selected part orientation.
