Abstract: A liquid resin material molding system includes a mold, a mold clamping device for clamping the mold, and a supply device for supplying a liquid resin material to the mold. The supply device includes an agitation-mixing mechanism for agitation-mixing of a liquid resin material of an additive added to a main component, a pump mechanism for feeding the liquid material mixture obtained thereby, and a fixed-quantity metering/supply mechanism for metering a fixed quantity of the liquid material mixture fed thereto via a first flow passage by the pump mechanism, for intermittent supply to the mold through a second flow passage.

Abstract: A mold assembly includes a product cavity for producing an insert-molded product and a projection-forming cavity for, if an insert of the product is irregularly deformed or disposed in wrong orientation, forming a projection on the insert-molded product. The projection, if present on the product, blocks most of the light emitted from a light-emitting element. A photodetector detects the intensity of the received light and when the detected light intensity is less than a predetermined value due to the presence of the projection, the product is judged to be rejected. Visual inspection or optical sensors judge the product to be rejected if the product has a through-hole closed and to be acceptable if the through-hole of the product is open. This judgment does not require an X-ray inspection device or radiologists.

Abstract: An injecting machine for two different liquids is configured to inject a liquid mixture of the two different liquids in a first-in first-out manner. The liquid mixture passes from a passage of an injection cylinder through a helical groove of a plunger into a forward space formed forwardly of the plunger as the plunger gradually moves back. When the plunger reaches a fully retracted position, a first part of the mixture remains in a front portion of the forward space while a last part of the mixture remains in a rear portion of the forward space. As the plunger moves to an advanced position, the first part of the mixture is first injected out of a nozzle and the last part of the mixture is finally injected out of the nozzle.

Abstract: An injection molding apparatus includes, as its drive sources, an electric power supply source, compressed air source and hydraulic pressure supply source. A hydraulic-pressure-supply-destination selection section supplies hydraulic pressure from the hydraulic pressure supply source to a selected one of first and second mold clamping cylinders. Necessary capacity of the hydraulic pressure supply source can be lowered as compared to a case where all of the mold clamping mechanisms and injecting machines are driven by hydraulic pressure. Because only a selected one of the mold clamping mechanisms is driven at a time, the necessary capacity of the hydraulic pressure supply source can be halved as compared to a case where the mold clamping mechanisms are driven simultaneously.
