11745403 · 2023-09-05 · ·

An injection molding system includes a step of determining a manufacturing condition including a combination of a first mold and a first injection molding machine, a step of confirming presence or absence of a first track record in production, in which a combination of the first mold and the first injection molding machine is used, by searching a production-track-record storage unit to, and a step of producing, in a case of the absence of the first track record in production, a corrected molding condition for injection molding by using the combination of the first injection molding machine and the first mold, based on first molding machine-specific information acquired in advance for the first injection molding machine, second molding machine-specific information acquired in advance for a second injection molding machine that is combined with the first mold and has a second track record in production, and the second track record in production acquired from the production-track-record storage unit. In the step, at least an amount of resin injected from the first injection molding machine into the first mold is corrected, and the produced corrected molding condition is inputted to the second injection molding machine.

CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD OF AN INJECTION MOLDING APPARATUS OF PLASTIC MATERIALS
20230139974 · 2023-05-04 ·

A system and method for controlling an actuator which actuates an axially displaceable pin valve of an apparatus for injection molding of plastic materials, where the control system includes an electronic control unit of the actuator which adjusts at least one among position, speed and acceleration of the pin valve, and a position sensor which detects a position of a plunger of the actuator and is operatively connected to the electronic control unit. The position sensor indirectly detects the position of the plunger of the actuator.

DEVICE AND METHOD FOR INJECTION MOLDING

A method and device for injection moulding, in particular for micro-injection moulding, at least comprising a mould with a first mould half and a second mould half, wherein the first mould half and the second mould half define an injection moulding space in the closed state of the mould, and an insert arranged in the injection moulding space.

Remote diagnostic system
11654604 · 2023-05-23 · ·

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.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING HOLLOW ARTICLES MADE OF INJECTION MOULDED PLASTIC MATERIAL
20220402181 · 2022-12-22 ·

A method and apparatus for producing hollow articles made of injection moulded plastic material by a mould having a die within which there is inserted a core, and at least one injector including a pin valve displaceable between a closing position and an opening position for injecting the pressurized plastic material into a space comprised between the die and the core. During the injection, any flexural deflection of the core is detected and the pin valve of the or of each injector is displaced in a controlled fashion to adjust a pressure and a flow rate of the injected plastic material, so as to reduce or eliminate such deflection of the core.
