<p>A method for molding parts in a thermoplastic molding system (10) comprised of a thermoplastic material delivery station (12), and two or more clam shell molds (14) mounted on a rotating frame (16), each clam shell mold (14) comprised of a mounted die half (18) and a hinged die half (20) connected by a hinge (22) directly or indirectly to the mounted die half (18), said die halves (18, 20) in a closed position forming a mold cavity, the method comprising the steps of (a) rotating frame (16) to move the die halves (18, 20) in an open position past a thermoplastic material deliver station (12); (b) delivering thermoplastic material to at least one die half (18, 20) of a clam shell mold (14) at the thermoplastic material delivery station (12); (c) closing the die halves (18, 20) as the claim shell mold (14) rotates past the thermoplastic material delivery station (12) by rotating the hinged die half (20) on its hinge (22) onto to the mounted die half (18) to form a mold cavity; (d) cooling the clam shell mold (14) as it continues to rotate on the rotating frame (16); and (e) opening the clam shell mold (14) by rotating the hinged die half (20) on its hinge (22) and removing a part formed in the mold cavity.</p> |
