  • Patent number: 7914716
    Abstract: A measurement control method uses an ending target position Xes calculated by adding a prescribed length Ls to a measurement ending position Xe. A rotation rate pattern Ar for rotating a screw 2, a back pressure Ps in relation to the screw 2, and a retraction rate pattern Ab for the screw 2 to retract, are set in advance. The remaining rotation rate pattern Ar to stop the rotation of the screw 2 at the ending target position Xes from the detected screw position X, is calculated at the time of measurement, and the rotation of the screw 2 is stopped based on the calculation. Further, the remaining retraction rate pattern Ab is calculated from the detected retraction rate Vd, and the retraction of the screw 2 is stopped based on the calculation. The result is the stopping of the screw at the measurement ending position Xe.

  • Patent number: 7578952
    Abstract: Leak of a metered resin by backflow in injection filling is prevented not depending on reverse rotation of a screw but by closing a ring valve by controlling a screw forward movement speed in injection filling. An injection filling speed and a valve closing operation speed are set to the screw forward movement speed. The valve closing operation speed is different from an initial speed of the injection filling speed, and the operation time thereof is set to the time necessary for moving the injection screw by a distance capable of performing the valve closing after the end of metering. The valve closing is performed with the set operation speed and the set operation time.

  • Patent number: 5658600
    Abstract: An injection molding machine equipped with an assembly for vibration processing which efficiently performs processing operations on the resin in the mold with vibration overcomes the restriction of vibration frequency due to the limited response of return springs and due to vibration transfer loss from the vibratory rods to the vibratory plate when operating at a high frequency. The injection molding machine performs both vibration and ejection without an ejector plate by making the vibratory plate serve a dual purpose and thus enable reduction in both mold size and production cost.

  • Patent number: 5543093
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for injection-molding a molten resin wherein any flaw such as warpage, shrinkage or the like does not occur in products having a small thickness when the desired product of injection molded resin is molded by injecting the molten resin into a cavity of an injection molding die. The molten resin is injected into the cavity under proper control with respect to injection speed and pressure, the pressure of the molten resin being temporarily set and reduced to a preset reference value when the cavity is filled with the molten resin, and subsequently, the pressure of the molten resin filled in the cavity is released.

  • Patent number: 5518671
    Abstract: A method of setting molding conditions for an injection molding machine 1 using a mold 2 whose specifications data are unclear included three setting processes. In the first setting process A, by inputting known data into controller 3, the molding conditions based on a data base prepared in advance and said input known data are set. In the second setting process B, injection molding is performed according to prescribed molding conditions pre-selected concerning injection pressure P, injection speed V and the injection start position of screw 4, and then, based on the product just molded, injection pressure P is altered, to set said altered injection pressure P, injection speed V and proper pre-feed measurement value Md as molding conditions. In the third setting process C, injection molding is performed according to molding conditions obtained from said second setting process B, and subsequently, taking into account the findings from the product just molded, said molding conditions are adjusted.

  • Patent number: 5518394
    Abstract: A penetration hole of plasticized resin is pierced in a screw head, so that the resin may be accumulated in uniform temperature distribution without sacrificing the function of the injection screw. More specifically, a penetration hole 15 of plasticized resin is pierced inside a screw head 13 at the front end of a screw 12 from the front middle to the rear periphery so as to communicate between the screw peripheral parts and the screw head front space. A ring valve 17 for opening and closing a rear opening 15a of the penetration hole 15, and closing the gap around the screw head is fitted to the rear periphery of the screw head 13 so as to be free to move back and forth.

  • Patent number: 5492670
    Abstract: An injection molding method characterized in that after resin charging is completed, with the screw allowed to rotate, process is shifted to the metering process, and using the back pressure in the metering process as a dwelling pressure, dwelling is performed simultaneously with the resin metering. In addition, with the back pressure required for metering set to a higher value as a primary back pressure, and using the back pressure as a dwelling pressure, dwelling is performed simultaneously with the resin metering, and after the dwelling time has elapsed, with the pressure allowed to lower so as to use as a secondary back pressure, the metering is continued to a set time. According to the above-mentioned method, as a whole, the required cycle time becomes shorter than in a conventional case where metering is started after dwelling.

  • Patent number: 5451363
    Abstract: An improved injection molding method comprising, tightening an injection molding die with a die tightening force lower than that corresponding to a conventionally rated pressure, injecting a molten resin in a die cavity with an injection molding pressure of which intensity is determined corresponding to the die tightening force so that a gap is formed so as to permit only gas to flow outside of the die cavity via the gap, after completion of injecting temporarily interrupting injection molding so as to release a part of the injection molding pressure from the die cavity so as to maintain the reduced injection molding pressure in the die cavity in the uniformalized state, and raising the die tightening force up to a level corresponding to the rated pressure, and moreover, raising the injection molding pressure in the die cavity.
