Injection molding process

A controller including instructions being embodied in a controller-usable memory of the controller, the instructions for directing the controller to execute a process of injection molding a first molded article in an injection mold, the process comprising:

• closing a first stack portion relative to a second stack portion of a first mold stack, along a mold-stroke axis of the injection mold, to define a molding cavity;
• molding the first molded article within the molding cavity;
• opening of the first stack portion relative to the second stack portion, along the mold-stroke axis, to retract the first molded article from a cavity insert of the second stack portion;
• and
• arranging the first stack portion to eject the first molded article therefrom with holding a position of a stripper sleeve of the first stack portion, along the mold-stroke axis, while retracting a mold core of the first stack portion along the mold-stroke axis, wherein retraction of the mold core causes the retraction thereof from the first molded article in cooperation with the stripper sleeve contacting the first molded article;
• closing the first stack portion relative to the second stack portion includes arranging the first mold stack within a first aperture that is defined by a shuttle of a molded article transfer device.
