Abstract
The injection moulding of articles formed by plastic materials having different characteristics, for example of different colours, is carried out in a single injection cycle in which the first and the second plastic materials are injected into a first and into a second zone of a mould cavity by first and second injectors controlled according to specific modes so as to define a shape and/or a position of a weld line.

A method for the injection moulding of articles formed by plastic materials having different characteristics, said method being carried out in a single injection cycle and comprising:
- providing a mould having at least one cavity having at least one first and one second zone placed in communication with each other and to which there are associated respective first and second injectors with controlled opening and closing, respectively supplied with at least one first plastic material and at least one second plastic material having said different characteristics,
- injecting the at least one first and the second plastic materials respectively into said first and into said second zone of the at least one mould cavity by said first and second injectors so as to originate respective flow fronts whose collision generates at least one weld line, and
- controlling said first and second injectors according to specific modes so as to define a shape and/or a position of said at least one weld line.

- controlling said first and second injectors according to specific modes so as to define a shape and/or a position of said at least one weld line,
- wherein opening of at least one injector of the first and second injectors is either anticipated or delayed with respect to the other injectors of the first and second injectors so as to define the position of said at least one weld line and wherein at least one of said first and second injectors is closed partially and at least another one of said first and second injectors is opened gradually and only partially so as to define the shape of said at least one weld line.
