<p>A method and system for inserting a golf ball precursor product (58) into a cavity of a mold half (122a, 122b) for precision centering is disclosed herein. The precision centering allows for the concentricity of core in relation to the cover (56) of a golf ball. The system includes an insertion mechanism (80) that allows for the vertical movement of a plurality of vacuum cups (84) along a longitudinal pathway (74). The vacuum cups (84) retain the golf ball precursor products (58) and insert each into a corresponding cavity on a mold half. As the vacuum cups (84) are lowered along the longitudinal pathway (74), the mold half (122a) is elevated along the longitudinal pathway (74). The mold half (122a) and vacuum cups (84) meet at an insertion position where the golf ball precursor products (58) are released from the vacuum cups (84) and set within a thermoset material contained in each of the cavities (132).</p> |
