An injection molding system and method that injects resin into a mold and conveys at least one mold, wherein the improvement to the injection molding system and method includes driving a support member that supports the mold, wherein the mold is conveyed based on a movement of the support member between a first position where the injection nozzle injects the resin into the mold and second position different from the first position.

An injection molding system including an injection molding apparatus that performs injection molding, and a conveyor apparatus configured to insert a mold through an opening of the injection molding apparatus, wherein the improvement to the injection molding system includes the injection molding apparatus further comprising a first door configured to restrict access via a first opening when a first door is closed and a second door configured to restrict access via a second opening when a second door is closed, and a controller configured to start injection molding with the mold in a case where the first door is partially opened and the second door is closed.

An injection molding system includes an injection molding apparatus that performs injection molding with a die and a conveyor apparatus on one side of the injection molding apparatus that inserts the die into the injection molding apparatus, where the conveyor apparatus includes an actuator connectable to the die. The injection molding system also includes a die detection unit that detects the conveyed die, an actuator detection unit that detects a state of the actuator, and a controller that controls the conveyor apparatus to prohibit a conveying operation of the die based on detection results by the die detection unit and the actuator detection unit.

An operation abnormality detection method for detecting an operation abnormality in a molding device having a movable part includes: acquiring a prescribed measured value relating to operation of the movable part and calculating, as statistical information, an average value of prescribed information values based on the prescribed measured values: calculating a first threshold and a second threshold; acquiring a current measured value and comparing a current information value based on the current measured value with the greater of the first threshold and the second threshold; and issuing a warning if the current information value at least exceeds the greater of the first threshold and the second threshold.

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.

Disclosed herein, amongst other things, is a molding system (100) comprising control structure that includes a mold (120) that is configured to mold a molded article (180), a controller (170) with which to control the operation of the molding structure, and a vision system (174) with which to appreciate a parameter of the molded article (180) for control of molding system (100).

The invention relates to a packaging method and to an associated packaging device (1) for packaging injection-molded plastic parts (2), which are pipette tips or medical reaction vessels, the injection-molded plastic parts (2) being arranged in cavity-pure subgroups (6) and then subjected to lateral inspection sub-subgroup (10) per sub-subgroup (10).

A injection molding system extracts molding data and inspection data having a difference between a first position information of a conveyance part where a molded article produced by an injection molding apparatus is picked up by a conveyor device and a second position information of the conveyance part where the molded article is inspected by an inspection device is equal to a predetermined distance between a pickup position and an inspection position, and stores the molding data and the inspection data in association with each other as a set. This configuration makes it possible to associate molding data of an injection molding apparatus when producing a molded article and inspection data with each other to control the quality of molded articles.
