Abstract
A method for performing injection molding using a mold with at least two cavities and an injection cylinder includes supplying resin to be injected into a first cavity, from among the at least two cavities, of the mold to the injection cylinder, injecting the resin into the first cavity, supplying resin to be injected into a second cavity, from among the at least two cavities, of the mold to the injection cylinder, and injecting the resin into the second cavity, wherein the resin injected into the first cavity is cooled, wherein the resin injected into the second cavity is cooled, and wherein molded parts are removed from the first cavity and from the second cavity after the resin in the first cavity has cooled and solidified and the resin the second cavity has cooled and solidified.
Claims13
A method for performing injection molding using a mold with at least two cavities and an injection cylinder, the method comprising:
- supplying resin to be injected into a first cavity, from among the at least two cavities, of the mold to the injection cylinder;
- injecting the resin into the first cavity;
- supplying resin to be injected into a second cavity, from among the at least two cavities, of the mold to the injection cylinder;
- and
- injecting the resin into the second cavity,
- wherein the resin injected into the first cavity is cooled,
- wherein the resin injected into the second cavity is cooled, and
- wherein molded parts are removed from the first cavity and from the second cavity after the resin in the first cavity has cooled and solidified and the resin in the second cavity has cooled and solidified.
An injection molding machine for performing injection molding with a mold having at least two cavities, the injection molding machine comprising:
- an injection cylinder;
- and
- at least one controller configured to control:
- supplying resin to be injected into a first cavity, from among the at least two cavities, of the mold to the injection cylinder,
- injecting the resin into the first cavity,
- supplying resin to be injected into a second cavity, from among the at least two cavities, of the mold to the injection cylinder, and
- injecting the resin into the second cavity,
- wherein the resin injected into the first cavity is cooled,
- wherein the resin injected into the second cavity is cooled, and
- wherein molded parts are removed from the first cavity and from the second cavity after the resin in the first cavity has cooled and solidified and the resin in the second cavity has cooled and solidified.
A method for manufacturing products by injection molding using a mold with at least two cavities and an injection cylinder, the method comprising:
- supplying resin to be injected into a first cavity, from among the at least two cavities, of the mold to the injection cylinder;
- injecting the resin into the first cavity;
- supplying resin to be injected into a second cavity, from among the at least two cavities, of the mold to the injection cylinder;
- and
- injecting the resin into the second cavity,
- wherein the resin injected into the first cavity is cooled,
- wherein the resin injected into the second cavity is cooled, and
- wherein molded parts are removed from the first cavity and from the second cavity after the resin in the first cavity has cooled and solidified and the resin in the second cavity has cooled and solidified.
