My 0.00000250 Ton LEGO Injection-Molding Factory can be seen at
http://www3.sympatico.ca/jdkalpin. Navigate to the section: "Inj. Molding
Factory".
It consists of a Mold Press, with a motorized screw, barrel heaters, a
pneumatic ram; also a 4-cavity mold with a manifold heater (for 4mm
photographic film spools); also an air-compressor set controlled by a
pressure switch; finally, a motorized valve that causes the mold-press to
cycle. The RCX is a Motor-Control Center! It is built into a 36 x 36
(stud) bay. There is a Mold Setup Operator there to give you a sense of
scale. These can be big machines!
I should tell you that, with 6 AA batteries, the plastic will melt only in
your imagination. So I don't feel too bad about the absence of the
'stripper-plate' for part removal...
