An injection molding system according to an aspect of the present disclosure is for performing insert molding, and includes: an opening-closing mechanism configured to open and close a pair of molds; an injection device configured to inject a resin into a space that is formed between the pair of molds when the pair of molds has been closed; and a positioning mechanism having a holding member configured to hold an insert part, the positioning mechanism configured to position the insert part between the pair of molds, and to cause the holding member to continue holding the insert part between the pair of molds even after the opening-closing mechanism starts to operate to close the pair of molds.

An injection molding system capable of easily calculating relative position information between a movable part of an injection molding machine and a movable part of a peripheral device is provided. A first control unit 110 of an injection molding machine 2 calculates first relative position information which is relative position information of a first movement position M1 set to a movable part 50 in relation to a first reference position K1 set to a first connection portion 80. A second control unit 210 of a robot 3 calculates second relative position information which is relative position information of a second movement position M2 set to a hand 65 in relation to a second reference position K2 set to a second connection portion 85. The first control unit 110 and the second control unit 210 calculate inter-drive-unit relative position information which is relative position information between the first movement position M1 and the second movement position M2 on the basis of the first relative position information and the second relative position information.

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.

In a method for determining at least part of a path (12) for connecting at least one starting point (14) to at least one finishing point (16) in a space (R) for at least one autonavigation of at least one movable component through the space on a machine (100), at least one model of the movable component and the machine is provided, information on the geometry is gathered, current positions are determined and these are brought into relation with one another to create a graph (10). An algorithm is used to calculate the path (12), collision-free autonavigation along the path (12) being carried out after a collision check has been performed. This assists the operator in adapting the machine cycle, while likewise bringing about an improvement in terms of the travel path, cycle time, reliability of the process, energy and wear.
