ABSTRACT:
A reconfigurable injection mold machine (10) having a fixed mold body (60, 60') and two movable mold bodies (62, 62' and 64, 64') that can be automatically repositioned with respect to each other to make different mold cavities for molding different parts. The three mold bodies (60,60', 62,62' and 64,64') each include a laminate subassembly (140,140', 142,142', 144,144') composed of a plurality of laminates (162,162', 164,164', 204,204', 234,234') and a mounting frame (146,146', 192,192', 218,218') arranged to hold and position the laminates during assembly to the mold. The mounting frame permits preassembly of the laminates on the workbench into a subassembly (140,140', 142,142', 144,144') that is then easily inserted into an opening in the mold (60,60', 62,62' and 64,64') and secured in place. Additionally, the mounting frame (146,146', 192,192', 218,218') secures the laminates (162,162', 164,164', 204,204', 234,234') in their respective positions during reconfiguration of the movable mold bodies (62, 62' and 64, 64') and serves to maintain the laminate assemblies in proper alignment when in a non-active or idle position.
