Abstract[English]
A method and system for manufacturing containers are disclosed. The system includes one or more manufacturing cells comprised of an unloading station, a queuing/sequencing station, a heating station, an unloading station, and a molding station. The queuing/sequencing station utilizes a plurality of carrier shuttles configured to traverse a platform comprised of a plurality of induction coil sections. Each of the carrier shuttles is provided with a preform mount for receiving a preform thereon. The preforms are selected and the carrier shuttles are arranged in accordance with a predetermined sequence. At least one heater of the heating station is disposed over one of the induction coil sections and adapted to heat the preform. The heated preforms are transported by the carrier shuttles from the heating station to an unloading station, which transitions them to the molding station for a fluid (e.g., gas or liquid) blow molding operation to form the containers.[French]
Un procédé et un système de fabrication de récipients sont divulgués. Le système comprend une ou plusieurs cellules de fabrication constituées d'une station de déchargement, d'une station de mise en file d'attente / de séquençage, d'une station de chauffage, d'une station de déchargement et d'une station de moulage. La station de mise en file d'attente / de séquençage utilise une pluralité de navettes de support configurées pour traverser une plateforme constituée d'une pluralité de sections de bobine d'induction. Chacune des navettes de support est pourvue d'un support de préforme pour recevoir une préforme sur celui-ci. Les préformes sont sélectionnées et les navettes de support sont agencées selon une séquence prédéterminée. Au moins un dispositif de chauffage de la station de chauffage est disposé sur l'une des sections de bobine d'induction et conçu pour chauffer la préforme. Les préformes chauffées sont transportées par les navettes de support de la station de chauffage à une station de déchargement, qui les envoient vers la station de moulage pour une opération de moulage par soufflage de fluide (par exemple, gaz ou liquide) pour former les récipients.
