ABSTRACT:
A reconfigurable injection mold machine (10) is disclosed having movable mold bodies (62, 62' and 64, 64') that can be automatically repositioned with respect to each other to mate different mold cavities for molding different parts. The machine includes a stationary A-side frame (14) having an A-side mold assembly (18) attached thereto and a movable B-side frame (16) having a B-side mold assembly (20) attached thereto. Each mold assembly includes a first mold body (60, 60') attached thereto and second and third mold bodies (62, 62') and 64, 64') that are coupled thereto and arranged for movement and repositioning with respect to the first mold body (60, 60'). The second and third movable mold bodies (62, 62' and 64, 64') include traveling ejector elements (136, 140, 190, and 210) that move along with the movable mold bodies and are operational in all operating positions of the mold bodies to eject molded parts.
