Automatic die exchange system for injection molding machine

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To make die exchange unattended with case and at a low cost by means of an overhead travelling die transporting robot adapted to automatically move in and out the die provided above a die stocker and an injection molding machine. CONSTITUTION:A robot mechanism 5 is travelled on a rial 4 and stopped above an injection molding machine. Then, with a chuck section 6 lowered, a die 3 is hoisted, carried onto a die stocker 1 and hung down to be taken into stock. Subsequently, the die 3 is hoisting carried onto the molding machine 9 and then, hung down to replace. The operation of the robots is automatically controlled with a control means 21. This requires no additional space for exchanging dies while facilitating frequent exchange of dies.
