Abstract: An injection mold comprising a first mold half and a second mold half which during operation are displaceable with respect to each other in a first direction between an open position and a closed position in which the first mold half and the second mold half interact with each other. The first mold half comprises a cavity plate with a front face with a recess in which at least one cavity block comprising at least one first cavity half is arranged forming in a closed position of the injection mold with a corresponding second cavity half arranged at the second mold half a cavity suitable to receive plasticized plastic material to form a part therefrom. At least one cable interconnects the at least one cavity block in a mounted position with a connection box.

Abstract: An injection mold (1) for the manufacturing of at least one tubular plastic part comprising a first mold half (2) comprising a first mold plate (3) and a second mold half (4) comprising a second mold plate (5) being arranged displaceable with respect to each other in an axial direction (Z) between an open position and a closed position. The injection mold further comprises at least one core (6) protruding from the first mold plate (3) and the second mold plate (4) comprising at least one cavity (7) suitable to receive the core (6) of the first mold half (2) to form a molding cavity (8) in the closed position of the injection mold (1) for receiving molten plastic material therein to form the tubular plastic part.

Abstract: An actuating device for adjusting at least one valve needle of an injection molding apparatus with a hot runner manifold that has disposed thereon at least one hot runner nozzle with at least one valve needle extending there-through which may control the melt flow through the hot runner nozzle. The actuating device has a support plate that is connected to the at least one valve needle and movable in a first direction relative to the hot runner manifold. The actuating device further includes a reciprocating device for moving the support plate in the first direction relative to the hot runner manifold, wherein the reciprocating device includes a slider mechanism and an actuation drive that is connected to a trigger device for generating a linear motion, wherein the slider mechanism has at least one thrust rod that is disposed in a second direction at an angle relative to the first direction.

Abstract: A hot runner injection molding apparatus to manufacture molded parts with a manifold having an inlet melt channel and a plurality of outlet melt channels, a plurality of injection molding cavities and a plurality of side gating nozzles coupled to the outlet melt channels and to the injection molding cavities. Each nozzle has a nozzle flange segment including a first melt channel disposed along a first axis and each side gating nozzle further includes a separate and removable nozzle head segment that is coupled to the flange segment via a sliding connector element that provides for an axial movement of the nozzle head segment or of the nozzle flange segment. Each nozzle head segment retains at least two nozzle tips that extend at least partially outside an outer surface of the nozzle head segment and each nozzle tip is surrounded by a nozzle seal element.

Abstract: A valve gated hot runner system that includes a single movable plate (or movable frame) that retains multiple valve pins. A linear actuator is coupled to rigid transmission elements that convey a linear motion from the actuator to several rotary components via a direct or indirect contact between at least a portion of the rigid transmission elements and the rotary components. The rigid transmission elements and the rotary components are connected to a common plate. The rotary components are further coupled to the movable plate (frame) and through their full rotation or turning lift or translate the movable plate (frame) with the valve pins to open and close the communication between hot runner nozzles and corresponding mold cavities. The actuator can be electrical, electro-magnetic, pneumatic or hydraulic.
