  • Patent number: 9314888
    Abstract: A tool configuration 68, 68? incorporating a preprocessing step 67, 67? and a method incorporating the tool configuration with its preprocessing step, producing an improved locking system of a floor panel 1, 1?. With the special tool configuration, and the preprocessing step changing the properties of the surface layer, certain surfaces are profiled of the joint edge of the floor panel, resulting in decreased tolerances. An equipment having an upper belt or chain guided in a horizontal direction, by an upper guiding device, and configured to press the floor panel vertically towards the lower chain, decreasing the tolerances of the produced floor panel as well.

  • Patent number: 9061780
    Abstract: The invention relates to a packaging method for packing plastic injection moulded parts (9), including: simultaneously removing K parts (9) from K cavities (3), and depositing the parts (9) in an intermediate storage (5) and loading V packaging units (8), each having A parts (9), from the intermediate storage (5). A plurality of depositing positions (6) arranged next to each other in a deposition plane (7) is used as intermediate storage (5), and the K parts (9) are deposited equally divided among U subgroups (11) in the intermediate storage (5), and K parts (9) are removed from the K cavities (3) and are divided evenly among the U subgroups (11) until each subgroup (11) has L parts (9), wherein the quantity L of the parts (9) of a subgroup (11) corresponds to the quantity A of parts (9) to be loaded into a packaging unit (8), or an integral divisor of A. The invention further relates to a packaging device and to an injection moulding machine having such a packaging device.

  • Publication number: 20140331614
    Abstract: The invention relates to a packaging method by which plastic injection moldings designed in the form of pipette tips or medical reaction vessels are packaged in end packaging units. The invention provides that the K injection moldings are, prior to being distributed over the U sub-groups in the set-down plane, set down in a buffer store (12) by way of a second set-down apparatus (5) which is separate from the first set-down apparatus (18), in particular by way of a hose arrangement or by way of a gripper.
