It is possible to improve accuracy of calculated statistical information. An injection molding machine according to an embodiment includes: a display control unit configured to display an input field for a shot number indicating an injection molding cycle or for a time period in which the injection molding cycle is performed, for specifying a calculation target of statistical information based on a parameter related to injection molding.

A coinjection molded multi-layer container includes an inner layer, an outer layer, and a barrier layer. The inner layer includes a first polymeric material and forms an inside surface of the container. The outer layer includes the first polymeric material and forms an outside surface of the container. The barrier layer is located between the inner layer and the outer layer and includes a second polymeric material less permeable to gas than the first polymeric material. The barrier layer is biased toward the inside surface or the outside surface such that the inner layer and the outer layer have different thicknesses.

An apparatus for controlling the rate of flow of a fluid mold material comprising: a manifold, an actuator interconnected to a valve pin, a position sensor that senses position of the valve pin, a controller that controls movement of the actuator according to instructions that instruct the actuator to drive the valve pin upstream at one or more selected intermediate velocities in response to receipt by the controller of a signal from the position sensor that the valve pin is disposed in the one or more intermediate upstream gate open positions.

A method and apparatus for performing an injection molding cycle comprising drivably interconnecting a valve pin to an electric motor actuator and controllably operating the electric motor to drive the valve pin at one or more reduced rates of upstream or downstream travel based on either detection of the position of the pin or actuator or on a preselected length of time at which to drive the valve pin.

Injection molding apparatuses and methods wherein a valve pin is controllably driven upstream and downstream along an axis between a first closed position where the tip end of the valve pin obstructs the gate to prevent the injection fluid from flowing into the cavity, a full open position and one or more intermediate positions, wherein the valve pin is drivable to be disposed or held in a selected intermediate position for a selected period of time during the course of an injection cycle where the tip end of the valve pin restricts flow of injection fluid through the gate to the mold cavity.

The present invention discloses a ultrasonic method for indirectly measuring a pressure of a cavity of an injection molding machine, comprising: emitting ultrasonic wave to each pull rod along an axial direction of the pull rod respectively at the same time, detecting an ultrasonic wave echo time difference of each pull rod, and obtaining an average pressure inside a cavity of the injection molding machine. By the detection method and detection device of the present invention, the pressure inside the cavity may be detected in a certain state, the pressure inside the cavity in the injection molding process may be detected in real time, and the detection process is simple and the accuracy is high.

An injection molding apparatus includes a melting section configured to melt a solid material into a shaping material and a nozzle configured to inject the shaping material supplied from the melting section into a mold. The melting section includes a screw having a groove forming surface on which a groove is formed, a barrel having an opposed surface opposed to the groove forming surface, a communication hole communicating with the nozzle being provided in the barrel, a heating section configured to heat the solid material supplied to between the screw and the barrel, a driving motor, a first gear configured to transmit a driving force of the driving motor to the screw and rotate the screw, and a first injecting section including a first injection port for injecting a first lubricant and a first injection path leading from the first injection port to the first gear.

Method for the quality control and/or tracking of an injection molded part produced in a production cycle using at least one processing machine of the plastic processing industry and a plastic processing facility, in which production devices or stations arranged upstream or downstream are connected together via a network. Each individual injection molded part or a specified number of injection molded parts is assigned a quality value composed of multiple quality values in that each device or station in the production chain ascertains or generates its own quality value and extends same by the transmitted values of each previous device or previous station and forwards same as the new quality value to the following device or following station or in that a separate collecting station, in particular a hardware and software (COQ chain of quality), requests the quality values, the device values and.or material values thereof, from the individual devices or stations or is transmitted thereto, and the collecting station puts said the values into correlation.

Provided is an injection device and an injection control method which are capable of preventing a drooping phenomenon from an injection nozzle even during high cycle molding, and capable of appropriately plasticizing and molding a resin having poor thermal stability. An injection device (10) of the disclosure includes: an injection cylinder (30) which accumulates a molding material and has an injection nozzle (33) at the front; an injection plunger (31) which is moved backward in the injection cylinder (30); an injection plunger driving device (50, 150) which moves the injection plunger (31) backward; and an injection controller (60, 160). The injection controller (60, 160) retreats the injection plunger (31) by the injection plunger driving device (50, 150) to perform metering in a plastication metering step of metering the molding material supplied into the injection cylinder (30).
