A shaping material management system for managing a material used in a resin shaping system includes a storage unit configured to store material lot identification information and material lot state information including information as to whether a material lot is able to be input to the resin shaping system, an acquisition unit configured to acquire the material lot identification information and the material lot state information from the storage unit, a determination unit configured to determine whether to restrict input of the material lot to the resin shaping system based on the material lot state information acquired by the acquisition unit, and a screen generation unit configured to generate an operation. When the determination unit determines to restrict the input of the material lot to the resin shaping system, operations are partially restricted on the operation screen generated by the screen generation unit.

A machine for conditioning pipes made of thermoplastic material, including a station for accumulating pipes made of thermoplastic material, at which the pipes are positioned side by side and parallel to one another and with a first predetermined direction of longitudinal extension, a plurality of operational stations for conditioning respective ends of the pipes made of thermoplastic material, positioned side by side along a second predetermined direction at right angles to the first direction, these operational stations including a station for forming bells on the ends, a positioning device designed to pick up a group of pipes for transferring it from one to the other of the above-mentioned stations.

A full-automatic wireless die change cart and system for a press. The full-automatic wireless die change cart includes an upper working table and a lower working table which are connected together up and down of driving devices. The lower working table is driven by a driving device I to move back and forth, while the upper working table is driven by a driving device II to move rightwards or leftwards. Baffles, die lifting arms, and guide rails, all in parallel to one another, are disposed in order from outside to inside at two opposite ends of the upper working table, and push-and-pull devices, baffles, and fixed supporting plate assemblies are disposed in order from outside to inside at the other two ends perpendicular to the two ends.

There is described a system and apparatus for the manufacture of a wind turbine blade where portions of a blade, preferably blade half shells, are formed in suitable molds, before transferal to a post-molding station where post-molding operations can be performed. The blade shells are formed in the mold to have integrated flanges which facilitate easy handling of the blade shells during subsequent manufacturing operations. There is also described a blade cradle of a post-molding station to receive a wind turbine blade shell, where a lifting jack apparatus can be located within the blade cradle structure for the application of a lifting force to a surface of a blade shell received in the cradle, to facilitate access to all sections of the surface of the blade shell.

A method for manufacturing an end effector assembly includes providing first and second jaw members moveable relative to one another about a pivot between a first, spaced-apart position and a second, approximated position. One of the first and second jaw members includes a cavity defined therein and the other of the first and second jaw members includes a stop member configured to be inserted into the cavity. A gap-setting gauge is grasped between the first and second jaw members to define a gap-distance between the jaw members equivalent to a thickness of the gap-setting gauge. The first and second jaw members are set such that the jaw members are prevented from approximation beyond the gap-distance.

An uncured composite member is formed over a mandrel having a contour using a flexible compactor. Forming is performed outwardly from the apex of the contour.

An imprint apparatus includes a nozzle including a discharge outlet which discharges imprint material onto the substrate, a supply unit configured to supply a gas which accelerates filling of a pattern of a mold with the imprint material, and a gas unit provided with the nozzle. The gas unit performs gas supply or exhaust with respect to a second space around a first space between the nozzle and a portion of the substrate which faces the nozzle and is conveyed under the nozzle in order to suppress the gas from flowing into the first space.

A production line with automatic belt disassembling and assembling for rubber belt vulcanization is provided and includes a working platform, two sides of the working platform are respectively a raw rubber belt placement platform and a finished rubber belt placement platform; and a truss; a rubber belt clamping device, a circular die clamping device and a transferring device are arranged on the truss; the rubber belt clamping device transfers raw rubber belts from raw rubber belt unloading station to disassembling and assembling station, and transfers finished rubber belts from disassembling and assembling station to finished rubber belt loading station; the circular die clamping device controls circular dies to move between the two stations; the transferring device transfers the stacked raw rubber belts and circular dies into a vulcanization device, and transfers the vulcanized finished rubber belts and the circular die to the disassembling and assembling station.
