Patent ID: 8469689

Claim:
An industrial product production facility, comprising: a molding machine that molds an industrial product using a pair of molds; a first mold exchanging machine that is disposed to be parallel to a direction in which the pair of molds of the molding machine open and to be adjacent to the molding machine; and a device for automatically opening and closing molds that is disposed to be parallel and adjacent with the first mold exchanging machine; wherein a mold standby stand having a function of heating the pair of molds is made to be parallel and adjacent with the first mold exchanging machine, and is disposed in a vicinity of the device for automatically opening and closing molds; and a second mold exchanging machine that is disposed to be adjacent to the device for automatically opening and closing molds, causes the pair of molds to move in a direction orthogonal to a direction in which the pair of molds relatively advance and retract, and is able to place the pair of molds thereon and move in a direction parallel to the direction in which the pair of molds relatively advance and retract; and a mold rack that is disposed to be adjacent to the second mold exchanging machine and houses a plurality of pairs of molds; and a first bypass route for the pair of molds to move from the first mold exchanging machine to the mold standby stand and vice versa and a second bypass route for the pair of molds to move from the second mold exchanging machine to the mold standby stand and vice versa; wherein the second mold exchanging machine houses in the mold rack the pair of molds which is transferred from the device for automatically opening and closing molds, and a pair of molds to be subsequently used is transferred from the mold rack thereto.
