Molded component retrieving apparatus and a molding machine having the molded component retrieving apparatus mounted thereon

A molded component retrieving apparatus mounted on a molding machine, to retrieve a molded component when the die of the molding machine opens, comprising:

• a base fixed on the molding machine;
• a first unit being disposed on the base and positioning a first lift arm with respect to the base;
• and
• a second unit being disposed on the first unit and positioning a second lift arm with respect to the first lift arm;
• wherein the first unit comprises;
• a first arm with a first end thereof mounted pivotably around a first shaft perpendicular to the base;
• a second arm with a first end thereof mounted at a second end of the first arm pivotably around a second shaft parallel to the first shaft;
• a third arm with a first end thereof mounted at a second end of the second arm pivotably around a third shaft parallel to the second shaft;
• an intermediate base member coupled to the third arm;
• a fourth arm with a first end thereof mounted on the intermediate base member pivotably around a fourth shaft parallel to the third shaft;
• a fifth arm with a first end thereof mounted at a second end of the fourth arm pivotably around a fifth shaft parallel to the fourth shaft;
• and
• a sixth arm with a first end thereof mounted at a second end of the fifth arm pivotably around a sixth shaft parallel to the fifth shaft, wherein the first lift arm comprises at least one of a hand and an adsorber disposed at an end of the first lift arm and adapted to reciprocate parallel to the third shaft and with respect to the third arm, and the second lift arm comprises a hand disposed at an end of the second lift arm and adapted to reciprocate parallel to the sixth shaft and with respect to the sixth arm.
