An injection molding machine includes a screw to which a tag including identification information that is readable by a reading unit is attached, a drive unit that performs rotation and advancing and retreating of the screw, and a control device that controls the drive unit, the control device performs a control of moving of the tag to a reading position at which the identification information is read by the reading unit.

A screw can be driven along an axial direction of a heating barrel and rotatable. An injection piston drives the screw along the axial direction. An injection hydraulic cylinder is partitioned into a first chamber in which pressured hydraulic oil for driving the injection piston is supplied and a second chamber from which hydraulic oil is discharged, and drives the injection piston in the axial direction by hydraulic pressure. A first oil discharge port is blocked by the injection piston when the injection piston advances to a holding pressure switching position. A second oil discharge port can discharge the hydraulic oil from the front chamber regardless of the position of the injection piston. The first oil discharge port is disposed at a position opposed to the first oil discharge port across a center axis of the injection hydraulic cylinder, and is connected to the first oil discharge port.

An injection molding machine includes: a fixed side member; and a movable side member fixed to the fixed side member, the movable side member being driven by a motor in order to perform injection molding of a molded product. The injection molding machine further includes a power feeding apparatus, one or more motors, and at least one servo amplifier. The power feeding apparatus converts a three-phase AC voltage into a DC voltage. The one or more of the motors are provided in the movable side member and drive the movable side member. The at least one servo amplifier is provided in the movable side member and drives one of the one or more of the motors by the DC voltage being supplied thereto through a DC power supply line.

An injection device includes a spline supporting member rotatably supporting a spline shaft and attached to a pressure plate, and a nut supporting member rotatably supporting a spline nut and attached to a rear plate. The spline supporting member is provided with a spline positioning mechanism for adjusting the mounting position of the spline supporting member. The nut supporting member is provided with a nut positioning mechanism for adjusting the mounting position of the nut supporting member. The spline supporting member and the nut supporting member are formed with holes for axial-center checking, rods being inserted through the holes.

An injection molding machine is equipped with a screw having a spline shaft formed with a spline on an outer circumferential surface, a bush having a spline hole formed with a spline on an inner circumferential surface, a linear motion motor for moving the bush in an axial direction of the screw, a rotational motion motor for rotating the bush about an axis of the screw, and a motor control unit which, in the case of fitting the spline shaft in the spline hole, controls the linear motion motor to advance the bush in a direction approaching the screw in a state that the bush and the screw are separated, and which controls the rotational motion motor to rotate the bush when the acquired output torque becomes equal to or larger than a first predetermined torque.

A vibration sensor detects first data of a first component group and second data of a second component group. An injection molding machine performs diagnosis processing for diagnosing the first component group based on the first data in an injection mode and performs diagnosis processing for diagnosing the second component group based on the second data in a plasticization mode.

An abnormality detection device for detecting an abnormality of a movable part provided in an injection molding machine includes: a through hole formed in the movable part or in an adjacent member arranged adjacent to the movable part; and a microphone installed inside the through hole to collect sound generated by the movement of the movable part.

An apparatus for aligning an outlet of an injection unit with an inlet of a mold mounted between platens of a molding machine includes a positioning assembly interconnecting the injection unit to the molding machine. The positioning assembly includes a first translation assembly configured to engender a first movement of the injection unit outlet along a translation plane, and a second translation assembly configured to engender a second movement of the injection unit outlet along the translation plane. The positioning assembly further includes a brake assembly extending between the first translation assembly and the second translation assembly. The brake assembly is configured to selectively create a compressive force between the first and second translation assemblies to maintain the position of the injection unit outlet.

Moulding assembly (100) with an inlet (117) for receiving raw material to be ejected, a barrel (112) for gathering and processing the raw material received through the inlet (117), a screw (110) for engaging the raw material in the barrel, a first drive unit (170) configured for rotating the screw (110) in order to grind the raw material into liquid form, where the moulding assembly further comprises a second drive unit (120) configured to displace the screw (110) in a direction essentially perpendicular to the rotation direction in and out of the barrel (112) depending on the pressure in the barrel (112).

A toggle lever clamping unit for an injection molding machine includes fixed and movable platens, a support plate, a toggle lever mechanism operatively connected with both the support plate and the movable platen, a cross clamp operatively connected with the toggle lever mechanism and movable along a machine longitudinal axis, and an electric drive for moving the cross clamp. In addition, a hydraulic drive is operatively connected with the cross clamp and includes a fluid-operated piston cylinder system, with the lengths of the cylinder and the piston rod being coordinated with one another such that the hydraulic drive follows a travel path of the cross clamp as the movable platen travels between an open position of the clamping unit, in which the toggle lever mechanism is swung in, and a closed position in which the toggle lever mechanism assumes a predeterminable extended position and a clamping force is built up.
