The present description concerns a device for controlling parts being manufactured, comprising at least one image sensor configured to form, for each part at last one first image by thermography and at least one second image by polarimetry.

An injection molding unit includes a main unit and an optional unit, the main unit accommodating a first injection molding machine that molds an integrated product by injecting a first molding material into a cavity which is defined by a lower die and an upper die and in which an insert member is disposed. The optional unit includes at least one of a member molding unit that accommodates a second injection molding machine that molds the insert member by injecting a second molding material or a press molding machine that molds the insert member in press molding, and a robot unit that accommodates a robot that performs placement operation of placing the insert member in the cavity or transport operation of transporting the integrated product molded by the first injection molding machine. The main unit is so configured that the optional unit is attachable thereto and detachable therefrom.

A system for the production of plastic products, which includes a molding apparatus including a first half-mold and a second half-mold both of which can move on command with respect to each other, and a reading device, a control device and storage elements being functionally connected to the control device. The first half-mold and the second half-mold are associated with at least one respective marker, the markers being readable by the reading device and having at least one respective identification code, the respective identification code corresponding to a record comprised in the storage elements, the control device-being configured to check at least the compatibility between the first half-mold and the second half-mold on the basis of combinations of records comprised in the storage elements.

The present invention relates to a method of introducing extruded flexible profiles and/or extruded flexible substrates, like foils or thermoformed foils/sheets, into an injection mold for the overmolding of at least one area of the single and/or multi-layer flexible extruded part. Making the over-molded extruded profile/foil a pre-assembly for an improved connection/assembly in terms of strength and sealing capability, as well as for a chemical and/or mechanical connection to a following injection molded part and/or introduction to a subsequent over-molding process.
