Apparatus for automatically taking out a molded product

Apparatus for automatically taking out a molded product, comprising:

• a main frame extending in a lateral direction;
• a lateral movable body supported on the main frame;
• first drive means for reciprocally moving the lateral movable body in the long direction of the main frame;
• a frontward-backward movable body supported on a frontward-backward frame that is coupled to the lateral movable body, the frontward-backward direction being substantially perpendicular to the lateral direction;
• second drive means for moving the frontward-backward movable body;
• and
• chuck means for holding a molded product and for moving the molded product to a predetermined position, the chuck means being connected to an attachment frame and having a vertical moving stroke;
• and
• lifting means comprising:
• vertical drive means coupled to the frontward-backward movable body and having an axis extending in a vertical direction, the vertical drive means having an axial length one-half the vertical moving stroke of the chuck means;
• a first movable frame coupled to the vertical drive means and supported on the frontward-backward movable body, the first movable frame being movable in a vertical direction and having a vertical length one-half the vertical moving stroke of the chuck means;
• a pair of pulleys rotatably supported on upper and lower end portions of the first movable frame;
• an endless belt trained over the pair of pulleys, the belt having a part coupled to the frontward-backward movable body;
• the attachment frame being supported on the first movable frame and movable in a vertical direction, the attachment frame having a part coupled to the belt and having a vertical length one-half the vertical stroke of the chuck means.
