In the present invention, constructed is a highly reliable system that does not allow unforeseen conditions to occur in the remote diagnosis of a clamp device. All combinations of status of a state detection switch mounted on a clamp device are anticipated in advance by a recursive method, and the states are defined with no omissions. A control unit 9 includes: a main body memory 9c that stores the ON/OFF state of a state switch together with the status of an injection molding machine main body, the clamp status and time information; and a main body communication unit 9d which is capable of short-range wireless communication. A message diagnosing a failure is stored in a smartphone 12 for all combinations of the ON/OFF state of the state detection switch for each of the following cases: whether in mold replacement mode or not; and whether a clamp device is in a clamped state or an unclamped state, or in a state other than the forgoing. The history of the ON/OFF state of the state detection switch with respect to the status of the main body and the clamp status is read from the main body memory 9c by wireless communication, and a corresponding message is displayed.

A method for moving a movable mold mounting plate of a molding machine, wherein the movable mold mounting plate is movable relative to a stationary mold mounting plate and the mold mounting plates are kinematically connected to each other, wherein molding tool parts arranged on the mold mounting plates are brought into abutment to each other in a closed state and wherein the movable mold mounting plate is moved by a drive mechanism and/or the stationary mold mounting plate is moved by an injection device such that, when reaching a predeterminable distance of the mold mounting plates relative to each other, a parameter representing a tilting movement of the mold mounting plates relative to each other is less than or equal to a presettable value.

A magnet embedded core is manufactured in a stable manner even when using a die clamping device having a large rated clamping force by preventing an excessive pressurizing force from being applied to a laminated iron core, performing the clamping with an appropriate pressurizing force so to minimize leakage of the resin out of magnet insertion holes, and suppressing a reduction in the geometric and dimensional precision of the laminated iron core. A die clamping device for driving a moveable platen in a direction toward and away from a fixed lower platen is configured to include a toggle link mechanism. In a fully extended state of the toggle link mechanism, an upper die abuts an end surface of the laminated iron core to close openings of the magnet insertion holes and pressurize the laminated iron core in a laminating direction.

A method including a first step of performing clamping of a mold, injection and dwelling in an injection molding machine, a second step of performing a conveyance and a cooling of the mold outside of the machine, and a third step of performing a conveyance of the mold into the machine, an opening of the mold and an ejection of a molded part in the machine. The second step is performed for a first mold, the third step and the next first step are performed for a second mold. The first mold is conveyed by a first conveyance apparatus which is arranged on one lateral side of the machine. The second mold is conveyed by a second conveyance apparatus which is arranged on the other lateral side and is independently driven from the first conveyance apparatus.

The invention relates to a press for encapsulating electronic components mounted on a carrier, comprising: at least two press parts displaceable relative to each other, a drive system for the displacement of the press parts, and an intelligent control adapted to control the drive system of the press parts wherein the drive system comprises at least two individual controllable actuators, the intelligent control further connects to plural displacement sensors for detecting the relative displacement of the press parts, and wherein the intelligent control is adapted to control the actuators of the drive system dynamically over time based on the measured values detected with the displacement sensors. The invention also relates to an actuator set to convert a prior art press into a press according to the present invention as well as to a method for encapsulating electronic components mounted on a carrier.

A safety apparatus includes a safety bar that is capable of moving in a mold clamping direction and a mold opening direction, in conjunction with a moving platen provided with a movable mold, and a latch that contacts the safety bar when a door, which is provided in a cover of an injection molding device, is open, wherein the latch includes a notch in a surface thereof on the mold-opening-direction side.

A method of manufacturing a printing cylinder. The method comprises providing a moulding apparatus comprising a cylindrical moulding vessel defining a moulding cavity (101). The vessel comprises at least one inlet for the ingress of moulding material. The method comprises performing an injection moulding operation comprising: injecting moulding material through the at least one inlet to substantially fill the moulding cavity with moulding material; and effecting hardening of the moulding material within the vessel (102). The method comprises removing the printing cylinder (103). At least part of the injection moulding operation is performed in the presence of an active pressure being applied to the moulding cavity.

An operation screen of a magnet clamp is displayed on a controller of an injection molding machine. A mold clamping device of the injection molding machine is provided with the magnet clamp. The operation screen is for controlling the magnet clamp to perform clamping or unclamping of a mold.

A technique for suppressing molding defects is provided. A control device of an injection molding machine includes: a mold clamping control unit that controls, with respect to an actual value of a mold clamping force for pressing a stationary mold and a movable mold after pressurizing of the mold clamping force is completed and before a molding material reaches parting surfaces of the stationary mold and the movable mold, a range of increase in the actual value of the mold clamping force after the molding material reaches the parting surfaces to an upper limit or less.

An LWRT plus fabric injection overmolding process for the direct injection molding of thermoplastic features onto the B-side of a formed, finished Light Weight Reinforced Thermoplastic panel. The panel having an A-side finish cloth, non-woven, TPO, Vinyl or similar material placed into the injection molding press and injection molding tool, and then the features are injection molded onto the panel without damaging the A-side finish.
