Resin molding machine

A resin molding machine, comprising:

• a work conveying mechanism having a hand for holding a work and being capable of conveying the work to processing sections;
• a work feeding section for feeding the work;
• a resin feeding section for feeding resin, which is used for resin molding, to the work conveyed from the work feeding section;
• a press section, in which the work is set and resin-molded with the resin fed by the resin feeding section;
• an external shape examination section having means for photographing images of the resin-molded products at a time or respectively to examine if a faulty point exists;
• a post-curing section including a curing furnace, in which pairs of slits arranged in the vertical direction at regular separations for holding the resin-molded works are provided, the post-curing section post-curing the resin-molded and examined works, which have been held by the pairs of slits, by tightly closing the curing furnace, for a time longer than curing times of the press section;
• a work accommodating section for accommodating the resin-molded work which has been post-cured in the post-curing section;
• means for controlling actions of the entire resin molding machine, wherein the post-curing section is located in a part of a work conveying route between the press section and the work accommodating section;
• a plurality of openings facing the work conveying route on a side wall of the curing furnace, each of which corresponds to the pairs of slits vertically arranged;
• a plurality of open-close doors for respectively opening and closing the openings, wherein the open-close doors usually close the openings;
• and
• an articulated robot having a robot hand, wherein the articulated robot is configured to move the robot hand to hold the resin-molded work into or out from the curing furnace when the open-close door is opened.
