Injection molding system, apparatus, method and quick-connect mechanism

摘要

An injection molding system utilizes pre-assembled modular molds. The molds interface with an injection molding machine through standardized injection and ejection interfaces. A standardized runner clamp plate and ejector clamp plate may be integral to the injection molding machine or attached to the injection molding machine for interfacing the mold to the injection molding machine. A quick-connect mechanism may be used to couple an active ejection mechanism in the injection molding machine with integral ejector components in the mold.
