Method and apparatus for packaging injection mouldings

Abstract

Method for transferring injection mouldings, in particular pipette tips (P), out of an injection-moulding machine into packaging containers (V1 to V4), comprising the following steps: removing the injection mouldings (P) in an annular arrangement from a mould (W) of the injection-moulding machine by way of a removable gripper (100), converting the annular arrangement into a row arrangement of the injection mouldings (P) in a transfer station (101), positioning the injection mouldings (P) in the transfer station (101) in a manner corresponding to the positioning in a workpiece carrier (102), and transferring the injection mouldings (P) into the workpiece carrier (102) by way of the transfer station (101), whereupon the injection mouldings (P) are inserted into the packaging containers (V1 to V4) from the workpiece carrier (102).
