Method for positioning and fixing additional reinforcing structures in molding tools for partial amplification of plastic molded parts during manufacturing process, involves gripping reinforcing structure surface by store racking

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This patent describes a method and device for securely positioning and fixing additional reinforcing structures within molding tools during the production of plastic parts. The process involves gripping and pre-clamping the reinforcing structure, then accurately placing it onto specific areas of the mold plate while maintaining a set tension, thereby reinforcing specific regions of plastic molded parts as they are manufactured.

Patent Abstract

The method involves gripping a reinforcing structure surface by a store racking. The reinforcing structure surface is fixed in a clamping surface and is impinged with a pre-clamping. The pre-clamped reinforcing structure surface is positioned at a definite area of the mold plates of the molding tool by a supply device by retaining the pretension. An independent claim is also included for a device for positioning and fixing additional reinforcing structures in the molding tools.
