  • INJECTION MOLDING SYSTEM WITH CONVEYOR DEVICES TO INSERT OR EJECT MOLDS
    Publication number: 20220176601
    Abstract: An injection molding system includes an injection molding apparatus, an actuator that moves a mold between a first position and a second position, wherein the second position is different from the first position and injection processing is performed at the second position, a linking unit that links the actuator and the mold, wherein the improvement to the linking unit includes a rotation unit that rotates around a predetermined axis based on a change in a position of the mold along a first direction that is different from a second direction that is based on the first position and the second position.
