Estimating the term…
A multi-function take-out plate for use in an injection molding system. The take-out plate comprises a plurality of holders and a plurality of selectively engagable adhesion points coupled to the take-out plate. Each of the holders is arranged to receive a molded article formed in and extracted from a respective cavity of a mold. The adhesion points are configured to pick up and temporarily hold linear arrays of molded articles for subsequent delivery and deposition. In a preferred embodiment, the plurality of holders have a pitch separation corresponding to the pitch separation of the mold from which the molded articles are extracted. The adhesion points are arranged in an array such that the pitch separation of adjacent molded articles held by the adhesion points is less than the pitch separation in the mold.
A multi-function take-out plate comprising:
A multi-function take-out plate comprising:
A side panel for connecting to a take-out plate, the side panel including at least one selectively engagable adhesion point, the at least one adhesion point configured, in use, to pick up and temporarily hold at least one molded article for subsequent delivery and deposition.
