Abstract
The present invention relates to a cooling device to be used with an index molding machine having a rotary turret block with at least two movable mold halves thereon. The cooling device includes a frame attached to a support for the rotary turret block, cooling tubes for receiving and cooling at least one molded part, which cooling tubes are mounted to a surface of a carrier plate connected to the frame, and an actuation device for moving the carrier plate between a first orientation where the cooling tubes are aligned with the at least one molded part and a second orientation where the at least one molded part cooled within the cooling tubes. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cooling device also includes at least one blowing tube for blowing cool air onto the at least one molded part.
