Mold assembly for the preparation of half-molds has a robot, with a structured grip, to transfer chaplets from a feed system into defined positions in the half-molds in an automated operation

摘要

Mold assembly (1) to insert a chaplet in a half-mold has a robot (5) with a grip (6) to position the chaplet in the mold (3) or grasp a core (2) already in place. A feed system (7) places the chaplet in a defined location, to be gripped by the robot, using a grip with two separately-moving holders for each chaplet. The assembly is structured for the grip to carry at least two chaplets on each movement cycle of the robot.
