METHOD AND DEVICE FOR FORMING SKIN INTEGRATED MOLDING

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To ensure gripping skins one by one and automatize the supply of the skins to a forming die. SOLUTION: In this method, skins 71 are set in a forming die 21 in an injection molding machine 2 and then synthetic resin 72 is injected into a cavity in the forming die 21 for forming skin integrated moldings 7. The skins 71 are set in the forming die 21 by a robot 3 by which the skins 71 placed in numbers are gripped one by one in sequence from the upper one and transferred and set into the forming die 21. The robot 3 has a frame 4 provided at the end 311 of an arm 31 and a needle tightener 5 arranged on the frame 4 for sticking a needle 511 into the skins 71 to pull the skins 71 in the tightening direction.
