Abstract
A threaded mold decoupling system includes at least one unscrewing assembly configured to remove a molded article a threaded core of an injection mold, an elevator assembly, and a driving element disposed in operative communication with the at least one unscrewing assembly and with the elevator assembly. The driving element is configured to actuate the at least one unscrewing assembly to rotate a molded article about a longitudinal axis of the threaded core and actuate the elevator assembly to linearly translate the molded article along the longitudinal axis of the threaded core.
Claims19
A threaded mold decoupling system, comprising:
- at least one unscrewing assembly configured to remove a molded article from a threaded core of an injection mold;
- an elevator assembly;
- and
- a driving element disposed in operative communication with the at least one unscrewing assembly and with the elevator assembly, the driving element configured to:
- actuate the at least one unscrewing assembly to rotate the molded article about a longitudinal axis of the threaded core, and
- actuate the elevator assembly to linearly translate the molded article along the longitudinal axis of the threaded core.
An ejection system, comprising:
- a fixed plate;
- a mounting plate opposing the fixed plate and configured to translate relative to the fixed plate;
- and
- a threaded mold decoupling system, comprising:
- at least one unscrewing assembly rotatably coupled to a mounting plate and configured to remove a molded article from a threaded core of an injection mold;
- an elevator assembly;
- and
- a driving element disposed in operative communication with the at least one unscrewing assembly and with the elevator assembly, the driving element configured to:
- actuate the at least one unscrewing assembly to rotate a molded article about a longitudinal axis of the threaded core, and
- actuate the elevator assembly to linearly translate the mounting plate relative to the fixed plate and to translate the molded article along the longitudinal axis of the threaded core.
