In a method for determining at least part of a path (12) for connecting at least one starting point (14) to at least one finishing point (16) in a space (R) for at least one autonavigation of at least one movable component through the space on a machine (100), at least one model of the movable component and the machine is provided, information on the geometry is gathered, current positions are determined and these are brought into relation with one another to create a graph (10). An algorithm is used to calculate the path (12), collision-free autonavigation along the path (12) being carried out after a collision check has been performed. This assists the operator in adapting the machine cycle, while likewise bringing about an improvement in terms of the travel path, cycle time, reliability of the process, energy and wear.

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.

An injection device includes a heating cylinder, a screw, a screw driving device, and a nozzle touch device. The screw driving device has a load cell configured to detect an injection pressure at a position separated from an extension line of an axis of the screw. When an injection nozzle is caused to touch a sprue of a mold by the nozzle touch device, a pressure of the load cell is monitored, and misalignment between the injection nozzle and the sprue is detected based on the pressure.
