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.

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.

In a method of manufacturing a magnet embedded core (1), creation of unnecessary resin from the resin for fixedly securing the magnet is prevented. The method includes a resin charging step of charging resin material (33) in solid form into the magnet insertion hole; a melting step of melting the resin material (33) in the magnet insertion hole, and a pressurization step of pressurizing an interior of the magnet insertion hole (3). The melting step includes melting the resin material (33) at least partly by preheating and inserting the magnet (4) into the magnet insertion hole (3).

A method for injection molding of plastic material by means of at least one injector whose pin valve can be displaced between a fully closed position and a maximum controlled fashion according to a position and speed of the pin valve. During displacement of the pin valve from the fully closed position to the maximum open position, and/or vice versa, the pin valve is stopped in intermediate positions and the displacement speed thereof is uniform and constant. An initial opening step at maximum speed and one or more steps of inversion of the motion of the pin valve can be provided for.

An operation setting device includes a first step of inputting an operation sequence and an operation position of the ejector by touching a desired point in a graph displayed on the setting display screen, a second step of inputting operation parameters including an operation speed, an operation position, an operation time, and an operation pattern of the ejector on the basis of the operation position thus input, and a third step of displaying in the graph and numerically displaying in a numerical value display part of the setting display screen the operation position and the operation parameters thus input. The operation position and operation parameters for each operation set in the first step to the third step are displayed in the graph and numerically displayed in the numerical value display part.

There is provided a structure for positioning a first mold part of a mold on a mold mounting face in an injection molding machine. The structure comprises a positioner configured to connect the first mold part to part of the injection molding machine, wherein the positioner is adjustable to position the first mold part on the mold mounting face. The structure further comprises controller executable instructions executable in a controller with which to resolve an alignment parameter of the mold using a feedback signal from a sensor. Further provided is a method of operating an injection molding machine which method comprises the steps of positioning a first mold part of a mold on a mold mounting face using a positioner and appreciating an alignment parameter of the mold with reference to a feedback signal from a sensor.

An injection molding apparatus (5), comprising: a first fluid drive cylinder (940c, 941c, 942c), a second fluid drive cylinder (940ac, 941ac, 942ac) interconnected to a valve pin (1040, 1041, 1042), wherein the first fluid drive cylinder (940c, 941c, 942c) and the second fluid drive cylinder (940ac, 941ac, 942ac) are interconnected in an arrangement wherein reciprocating movement of a piston (940p, 941p, 942p) of the first cylinder drives concomitant back and forth movement of a piston (940ap, 941ap, 942ap) of the second cylinder and concomitant back and forth movement of the valve pin (1040, 1041, 1042); an electrically powered actuator (940, 941, 942) adapted to drive the piston of the first cylinder reciprocally according to a drive program such that the valve pin (1040, 1041, 1042) is driven between gate closed and gate open positions and selected positions therebetween.
