Abstract
This invention relates to a handling device for the removal of plastic injection-molded parts, designed as pipette tips, medical reaction vessels or contact-lens molds, from an injection mold tool (11), having a removal gripper having a plurality of receiving positions (1-32; 104, 105) for receiving one injection-molded part from each of the cavities in each instance.
Claims20
A handling device for the removal of plastic injection-molded parts, designed as pipette tips, medical reaction vessels or contact-lens molds, from an injection-mold die (11) having several cavity arrangements, which are disposed adjacent to each other in an injection mold surface (110) and which each have several cavities disposed around a respective center;
- having a removal gripper having a plurality of receiving positions (1-32;
- 104, 105) each for receiving one injection-molded part from one of the cavities, wherein the receiving positions (1-32;
- 104, 105) are dispersed across a removal gripper surface extension extending along a y-axis and an x-axis which is perpendicular to the y-axis, wherein the receiving positions (1-32;
- 104, 105) are disposed on a slide arrangement which can be displaced by means of drive means, wherein the slide arrangement has two slides carrying the receiving positions (1-32;
- 104, 105), comprising a first (101) and a second slide (102) which can be displaced between a relative removal position, in which the receiving positions (1-32;
- 104, 105) align with the corresponding cavities, and a relative transfer position for transferring the plastic injection-molded parts by means of/using the drive means and in that the first (101) and the second slide (102) each have receiving positions along the x-axis, which are spaced apart, for plastic injection-molded parts and wherein the first (101) and the second slide (102) are formed and disposed interconnected along the x-axis in such a manner that in the relative removal position
- a receiving position of the second slide (102), is disposed along the x-axis between two receiving positions of the first slide (101), which are spaced apart along the x-axis,
- and/or
- a receiving position of the first slide (101) is disposed along the x-axis between two receiving positions of the second slide (102), which are spaced apart along the x-axis.
