Abstract
A system for molding and fitting together a first part and a second part. Two guide rails are parallel to a first direction and, for each guide rail, a carriage moves in translation on the guide rail. For each carriage, a cam carrier moves in translation parallel to the first direction and has a cam, the two ends of which are distant in a fitting-together direction. An assembly bar carries a series of first cavities, each end of which is mounted in one of the two cams. A series of second cavities are provided. An activation device moves the cam carriers and, for each carriage, a locking device locks the carriage alternatively with the cam carrier and the guide rail.

System for moulding and fitting together a first part and a second part, the moulding and fitting-together system comprising:
- two guide rails each having a longitudinal axis extending parallel to a first direction,
- for each of the guide rails, a respective carriage mounted so as to be able to move in translation on the respective guide rail,
- for each of the carriages, a respective cam carrier able to move in translation with respect to the said respective carriage parallel to the first direction, each of the cam carriers having a respective cam, wherein two ends of each respective cam are distant from each other in a fitting-together direction perpendicular to the said first direction,
- an assembly bar carrying a series of first cavities, each of the first cavities being intended to mould a respective one of the first parts, one end of the assembly bar being mounted in one of the two cams, and an opposite end of the assembly bar being mounted in the other of the two cams,
- a series of second cavities, each of the second cavities being intended to mould a respective one of the second parts,
- an activation device designed to move the cam carriers, and
- for each of the carriages, a respective locking device designed to lock the said respective carriage alternately with the respective cam carrier and the respective guide rail,
- the assembly bar being firstly able to move in translation parallel to the first direction between a first position in which the first series of cavities is not in alignment along the fitting together direction with the series of second cavities and a second position in which the first series of cavities is in alignment along the fitting together direction with the series of second cavities, and secondly, from the second position, able to move in translation parallel to the fitting-together direction, between a distant position in which the first parts and the second parts are not fitted together and a fitting-together position in which the first parts and the second parts are fitted together.
