ABSTRACT:
An automatic docking system for an injection molding machine having a mold. The docking system includes a moldset with a core plate, a guide on each side of the core plate and moldset guides on a face of the mold. The moldset guides cooperate with the core plate guides to load the moldset into the machine. A water manifold is mounted in the mold and a plurality of water connections extend from the manifold toward a moldset to be mounted in the machine. An air channel is provided in each moldset guide. A core plate separation block is attached to a top end of each core plate guide. Air channels extend through the core plate and the core plate separation blocks. Each separation block includes an air opening for engaging an air opening on a moldset guide when the moldset is loaded into the machine. The core plate guides and moldset guides guide the moldset into the machine and guide water connections in the moldset into sealing connection with the water connections in the manifold and the air openings on the separation block into sealing connection with the air openings on the moldset guides when the moldset is fully installed in the machine.
