The three-dimensional geometry of an attachment is measured before work is started. A maximum dimension of a take-out head 60 in the X direction, a maximum dimension of the take-out head 60 in the Y direction, and a maximum dimension of the take-out head 60 in the Z direction are measured on the basis of an image of the take-out head 60 captured by at least imaging devices C11 and C12 before the take-out head 60 starts work with the take-out head 60 being mounted to an elevating frame 59B of an apparatus 5 for taking out a molded product, as an orthogonal three-axis robot.

A remote control system to remotely control a take-out robot of an injection molding machine on a production site through network includes an injection molding machine to produce and convey injection molded products through the take-out robot. A remote controller transmits and receives the operation data of the take-out robot and the information data on the injection molding to and from the injection molding machine through the wireless internet. The remote controller remotely controls the injection molding machine based on the utilized operation data and information data. A control pendent connected to the injection molding machine remotely controls the take-out robot, performs three-dimensional graphic simulation for the previous operations before operating the take-out robot and for loading motions of the injection molded products, and stores and outputs the three-dimensional graphic images of the injection molded products, based on a previously stored remote control access program.

An apparatus for taking out a molded product, includes: a transverse frame disposed above a resin injection molding machine to extend in a transverse direction, which is orthogonal to a longitudinal direction; an orthogonal frame supported by the transverse frame so as to be movable at least in the transverse direction; a vertical arm provided at the orthogonal frame so as to be movable up and down at least in the vertical direction; and a holding member provided at a distal end portion of the vertical arm to hold a resin molded product formed by the resin injection molding machine. The vertical arm is disposed so as to be inclined such that the axis line of an elevating shaft of the vertical arm forms an acute angle with respect to a perpendicular extending in the vertical direction.

A control method for an injection molding system including a first housing including a first accommodation space having an injection molding machine arranged therein and a first window, a second housing coupled to the first housing and having a second accommodation space having a robot disposed therein and a second window, the robot performs an operation with respect to a molded article molded by the injection molding machine, and a control device that controls driving of the injection molding machine and the robot, the control method includes in a first state in which the first window and the second window are closed, driving the injection molding machine in a first drive mode, in a second state in which the first window is open, stopping the injection molding machine, and in a third state in which the second window is open, driving the injection molding machine in a second drive mode.

This injection molding system can correct a change in position of a movable mold due to a mold clamping force adjustment mechanism, and is provided with: an injection unit that injects a resin into a cavity formed by a movable mold and a fixed mold; a mold clamping unit that retains the movable mold and the fixed mold to be openable and closable and has a mold clamping force adjustment mechanism that adjusts mold clamping forces of the movable mold and the fixed mold; a handling unit that performs at least one of the assisting operations of an operation of extracting a molded article from the movable mold and an operation of inserting an insert component into the movable mold; and a control system that controls the injection unit, the mold clamping unit, and the handling unit. The control system has a mold position detection portion that detects the position of the movable mold during mold opening, and an operation position adjustment portion that adjusts at least one of the position of the handling unit during the assisting operation and the position of the movable mold during the mold opening according to a detection value of the mold position detection portion.

This manufacturing method for wrapped moldings (P) comprises a molding process for manufacturing the moldings (P) and a wrapping process for wrapping the moldings (P). The molding cycle from a mold-clamping step to the next mold-clamping step in the molding process is coordinated with the wrapping cycle from a moving step to the next moving step in the wrapping process by delaying the heating initiation time in the heating step, reducing the rate of temperature increase in the heating step, or prolonging the time for the drawing in the drawing step.

An apparatus for taking out a molded product that is capable of suppressing displacement vibration of an attachment in a shorter time than ever without using a large-scaled electric actuator. An active controller starts active control after the amplitude of displacement vibration of the take-out head as an attachment has been attenuated to a predetermined setting by means of positioning control by a servomotor or when the amplitude can be considered as having been attenuated to the predetermined setting. The positioning control is first performed by the servomotor, and then the active control is performed by the active controller using an electric actuator which is light in weight and small in size.

An apparatus for taking out a molded product that is capable of suppressing displacement vibration of an attachment in a shorter time than ever without using a large-scaled electric actuator. An active controller performs active control in conjunction with the positioning, control by the servomotor. At the beginning of the active control, the positioning control is primarily performed by the servomotor, and then the active control is positively performed by the active controller using an electric actuator. Compared with when only the active control is performed for vibration suppression, a lighter and smaller electric actuator can be employed.

An apparatus for taking out a molded product is provided, the apparatus being capable of suppressing displacement vibration of an attachment mounted at a leading end of each of one or more approach frames by active control using one or more electromagnetic actuators. The apparatus includes an active vibration suppressing system. One or more electromagnetic actuators are mounted to the attachment of each approach frame or each approach frame.

In an injection molding system, a holding force changing means reduces a holding force to a predetermined level or less if a predetermined or higher load is detected by an external load detection means after a molded article is transported to a work area of an operator by a molded article transport device. Thus, the operator can easily take out and inspect the molded article.
