A system for taking out a molded product that does not require an operator to determine the sucking operation start time for a vacuum sucker by himself/herself by trial and error is provided. A controller includes a time interval measuring section configured to measure a time interval judging from an output from a pressure detector. The time interval measuring section measures a stable time interval since the pressure in a pipe reaches a predetermined pressure until a sucking operation start pressure is detected judging from an output from the pressure detector. The sucking operation start pressure indicates that a suction nozzle starts operation to suck up a molded product hereby the predetermined pressure is maintained. A sucking operation start time determining section of the controller determines a sucking operation start time such that a stable time interval is longer than a bias time interval, concurrently with movement control for a moving mechanism.

An automated in-mold label handling and product unloading device for use with a plastic material injection molding machine includes a label handling arm provided with a label holder at an outer end thereof, and a product unloading arm provided with a product gripper at an outer end thereof. The device has a stationary frame and a first linear guide device that supports the label handling arm so as to reciprocate along a y-axis direction. The device has a second linear guide device that supports the product unloading arm so as to reciprocate along a y-axis direction. The first and second linear guide devices are guided relative to the frame to be movable parallel to the x-axis. A label handling arm x-axis drive mechanism has a first drive motor mounted on the frame and a first transmission coupled to said first drive motor and to the first linear guide device.

There are provided an apparatus for taking out a molded product that allows a physical amount such as the mass of the taking portion to be easily acquired with a relatively simple configuration. A posture reversing mechanism is provided between the elevating arm and the taking portion to change the direction of the taking portion between an unreversed state in which the taking portion is directed to be able to take hold of the molded product molded in the die, and a reversed state in which the length of the taking portion in the vertical direction is shorter than that in the unreversed state. A sensor detects vibration of the elevating arm. A mass estimating section estimates the mass of the taking portion on the basis of vibration of the elevating arm detected by the sensor when the taking portion is in the reversed state.

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.

A molded product take-out apparatus includes: a controller independent of a molding machine; a take-out robot for releases a molded product from a mold in the molding machine by a command from the controller; a temperature controller regulates the temperature of the mold; a material dryer dries material to be supplied to the molding machine; and a material conveyor supplies the dried material to the molding machine. The controller is network-connected to the take-out robot and the temperature controller and the material dryer and the material conveyor. The controller is configured to control a release operation of the take-out robot to differentiate a release place between when judging that a detection data to be within an allowable range and another case.

An LED luminaire and potting method having the following steps: introducing a configured luminaire into an at least partly optically transparent potting mold (16), such that the luminaire does not come into contact with the walls of the potting mold; introducing an optically transparent potting compound (18) into the potting mold (16) until at least the luminaire is surrounded; and detecting a quantity of bubbles by an optical sensor or image detector (14), wherein the pressure in the vacuum chamber (11) is controlled in order to influence the bubbles and/or a pivot/inclination device (12) is controlled in order to move the vacuum chamber (11) and/or the potting mold (16) in order to expel detected gas/air bubbles (19) out of the optically transparent potting compound (18).

An injection molding system including a robot includes an injection molding device, and the robot is fixed in a machine housing of the injection molding device, and motion range of the robot includes interior region of the machine housing.

There is provided a control system for an apparatus for taking out a molded product, the apparatus performing appropriate operation when a collision occurs while a servo system control section is manually operated. When a collision detection section outputs an operation stop command, a deviation clearing section performs clearing operation to bring deviations in a servo system control section to zero with the servo system control section kept on. Positioning is completed as the deviations are brought to zero, which enables operation to be performed again. When a retracting operation is performed after the operation is stopped, servomotors are operated according to an operation command, which allows smooth retraction from the collision state.

A cycle time administration section 3 of an apparatus for taking out a molded product of the present invention includes: a measurement section 5 for measuring a cycle time for every one cycle of taking out a molded product; a setting and storing section 7 for setting and storing a target cycle time; a comparison section 9 for comparing the measured cycle time and the target cycle time for every one cycle; a counting section 11 for counting the number of times that the measured cycle times consecutively exceed target time, following the measured cycle time that has first exceeded the target cycle time, if it is determined that the measured cycle time has exceeded the target cycle time as a result of the comparing; and an outputting section 13 for outputting a detection signal if the counted number of times is more than n times.

There is provided a teaching method for a system for taking out a molded product. A projected image obtained by projecting an attachment mounted to an elevating frame onto a virtual plane, or a maximum-dimension virtual projected image of the projected image, is displayed as is superposed on the virtual plane, the virtual plane including a captured image of an opening end surface of a die that is opened, the captured image being captured by a single imaging device, before the attachment is advanced into the die. The range of the die that is opened in which the attachment is to be lowered is checked through visual observation.
