An injection molding cell is provided with an injection molding machine and its peripheral device and an injection molding cell management unit. The injection molding cell management unit includes a worker identification information input unit, configured to accept input of worker identification information for identifying a worker who performs input and/or operation of the injection molding machine and its peripheral device, and a prohibition state releasing unit configured to release a prohibition state of the input and/or operation of the injection molding machine and its peripheral device, based on the worker identification information.

A mounting stand for an injection molding machine has a base member and an erecting member, to which an injection apparatus is attached, vertically arranged on the base member, and is movable with respect to a support supporting the base member. The mounting stand includes a base member protruding portion provided upward from the base member around a portion at which the base member comes into contact with the erecting member, and an anchored portion at which a side surface of the base member protruding portion is anchored to a side surface of the erecting member.

According to one embodiment, a mold includes a substrate clamping surface, a cavity, a suction part, a vent, an intermediate cavity, and an opening/closing part. The substrate clamping surface contacts a surface of a processing substrate. The cavity is recessed from the substrate clamping surface. The suction part is recessed from the substrate clamping surface. The vent is provided on a path between the cavity and the suction part, communicates with the cavity, is recessed from the substrate clamping surface to a vent depth. The intermediate cavity is provided between the vent and the suction part on the path, communicates with the vent, and is recessed from the substrate clamping surface to an intermediate cavity depth deeper than the vent depth. The opening/closing part opens and closes the path and is provided between the intermediate cavity and the suction part on the path.

A hot runner injection molding apparatus includes a hot runner nozzle and a first heater coupled to the nozzle body of the nozzle. A separate mold gate insert surrounds a nozzle tip area of the nozzle. The mold gate insert is heated by a second heater that is separate and independent from the nozzle body heater. The temperature generated by the first and second heaters is measured by a first thermocouple and a second thermocouple, respectively. A controller is used to adjust at any time the temperature of the first and second heaters independently. The second heater is used to either i) melt, and thus enable a faster removal of, a colder molten material accumulated around the nozzle tip during a color change procedure or ii) to reduce or increase the temperature of the nozzle tip differently from one nozzle to the next.

In manufacturing a magnet embedded core, creation of flash, and problems associated with flash are prevented. A device for manufacturing the magnet embedded core comprises a base (32) comprising an upper surface at which a resin pot chamber (64) for storing molten resin opens, a separator plate (36) detachably placed on the upper surface of the base (32) to support a rotor core (2) thereon and having a gate (50) and a cull opening (52) communicating the magnet insertion hole (4) of the rotor core (2) with the resin pot chamber (64), and a plunger (62) movably provided in the resin pot chamber (64) to press the molten resin in the resin pot chamber (64) into the magnet insertion hole (4) via the gate (50) and the cull opening (52), wherein an annular recess (66) is formed on the upper surface of the base (32) so as to extend outward of the resin pot chamber (64) and communicate with the resin pot chamber (64).

Provided are a molding screw and an FBI molding machine using the same for manufacturing resin molded articles for reduced manufacturing variation with use of a resin powder, an additive, and a mixture material constituted by an inorganic material or an organic material. The molding screw can include a feeding portion for feeding a molding material, a compressing portion, and a metering portion that extend continuously from the feeding portion. The feeding portion and the compressing portion each can be provided with a spiral flight. The flight of the compressing portion can include multiple sub flights that extend in a spiral manner in a screw axis direction. The sub flights can each have a polygonal shape with rounded corner portions, and are arranged such that the corner portions are shifted by a set angle with respect to the screw axis.
