  • Patent number: 10814530
    Abstract: A mold device configured for use in a rotational molding device configured to perform a rotational molding process by rotating the mold device by means of a robot arm is provided. The mold device generally includes a connector part for connecting to the robot arm, first and second mold parts configured to assemble to each other for enclosing a mold cavity in an assembled state. The mold device includes a magnet gripper for releasably attaching the mold parts and heating and cooling elements integrated in at least one of the mold parts for respectively heating and cooling the mold part. The heating elements may be arranged in first grooves positioned in an exterior face of the respective mold part. The cooling elements may be arranged in second grooves positioned in the exterior face of the respective mold part in between the first grooves.

  • Patent number: 9327431
    Abstract: This invention relates to a device for rotational molding. The device comprises a mold which is movably arranged, having a mold wall, surrounded by a mold cavity and a material feeding device for feeding the curable raw material into the mold cavity. The mold is movably mounted on a robot arm, associated with the mold. The movement of the mold is controlled by a control device communicating with the robot arm. The mold is provided with a device for controlling the temperature of the mold and which is integrally formed with the mold.
