Abstract: A system and method for continuous automated production of insert pieces and insert injection molded parts has insert material supply reels loaded with a flexible insert material which is fed into an insert cutter and feeder assembly. The insert material supply reels supply large quantities of insert material ready for fabrication into insert pieces for direct insertion into an injection mold. The insert cutter and feeder assembly has one or more tracks along which the insert material is guided by unit-directional rollers to a cutter which severs insert pieces from the continuous strand of insert material. The continuously produced insert pieces are inserted into injection mold cavities by various inserted/pusher mechanisms between injection molding cycles. A control system synchronizes the cutting and feeding of insert pieces with the molding cycle for continuous production of insert molded parts.
