ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for injection molding several different parts in a reconfigurable mold is disclosed. The mold machine (10) includes a first mold body (14) attached to a machine frame (12) and second and third mold bodies (16, 18) that are movable with respect to the first mold body (14). A mold frame controller (100) is interconnected to and controls three linear actuators (56, 66, 88) that are arranged to move the three mold bodies into different configurations. Each mold body has mold cavities (24, 44, 46, 80) that can be aligned with mold cavities in the other mold bodies to form different combinations for forming a variety of different parts.
