SCALABLE INJECTION MOLDING SYSTEMS.

摘要

Scalable injection molding systems comprise a molding press and at least one delivery system. Each delivery system comprises an injection unit and a manifold. The scalable injection molding system further comprises at least one molding face pair having a cavity face and an opposing core face. Each scalable injection molding system comprises at least one scalable system selected from the group consisting of a scalable face-number system with respect to numbers of active mold face pairs in the scalable injection molding system and a scalable cavitation system with respect to numbers of functional mold cavities on each mold face pair. Both the scalable face-number system and the scalable cavitation system allow the output of the scalable injection molding system to be increased or decreased according to needs of the operator, without requiring costly reconfiguration, retooling, replacement, or unnecessary duplication of standard mold components.
