An injection molding system comprising: a first selected valve, one or more downstream valves, delivering a fluid to a mold cavity, at least one fluid property sensor, each valve associated with a position sensor that detects opening of a gate at an actual open gate time to the controller, the controller automatically adjusting time of instruction to open the gates on a subsequent injection cycle by an adjustment time equal to any delay in time between a predetermined open gate target time and an actual open gate time, wherein the system forms a first one or more parts or objects, the user inspecting or measuring the first one or more parts or objects and manually adjusts the predetermined open gate target time.

An injection molding system comprising: a first selected valve, one or more downstream valves, delivering a fluid to a mold cavity, at least one fluid property sensor that detects a flow front of fluid material flowing downstream through the mold cavity at a trigger location within the cavity disposed between the first gate and at least one selected downstream gate, a controller instructing an actuator associated with the downstream gates to open the gates at a predetermined open gate target time on a first injection cycle, each valve associated with a position sensor that detects opening of a gate at an actual open gate time to the controller, the controller automatically adjusting time of instruction to open the gates on a subsequent injection cycle by an adjustment time equal to any delay in time between the predetermined open gate target time and the actual open gate time.

A rotary-shaft type turntable positioning device of an injection molding machine includes a first encoder and a second encoder installed at a servomotor of a positioning device and a speed reducer respectively, so that after the injection molding machine finishes an injection molding, the servomotor is used to drive the driving shaft and link the output shaft to drive the driving wheel to rotate a rotary shaft, while rotating and positioning a turntable. During rotation, signals of the first encoder and the second encoder are sensed to adjust the position, so as to control the turntable to be rotated to a precise position.

A method is provided for moving a movable mold mounting plate of a molding machine, in which the movable mold mounting plate is movable relative to a stationary mold mounting plate and the mold mounting plates are kinematically connected to each other, and in which a drive mechanism for moving the movable mold mounting plate is provided. Molding tool parts arranged on the mold mounting plates are brought into abutment to each other in a closed state, and a temporally changeable tilting movement of the mold mounting plates relative to each other occurs by the movement of the movable mold mounting plate. The movable mold mounting plate is moved by the drive mechanism and/or the stationary mold mounting plate is moved by an injection device in such a way that when reaching a predeterminable distance of the mold mounting plates relative to each other, a parameter representing the tilting movement of the mold mounting plates relative to each other is less than or equal to a presettable value, preferably equal to zero.
