Patent number: 8463422Abstract: An extruder or injection molding machine with user-specifically monitoring and regulating processing of plastic materials includes a material feed, a plasticizer, and a mold. A process input variable, e.g. cost of the apparatus, raw material, power, and processed quantity, can be inputted with an input device and transmitted to a controller. A process monitoring variable, e.g. the duration of a product cycle, product cost, raw material used/power consumed per product cycle, expected purchase price for a given quantity of a product, and number of product cycles until maintenance, can be determined in real time from a process control variable and/or process input variable. A value of a process monitoring variable, such as the actual desired, or mean value, the value integrated since starting, the history or tendency of this value, can be outputted on an output device in form of a characteristic diagram.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2007Date of Patent: June 11, 2013Assignee: KraussMaffei Technologies GmbHInventors: Markus Betsche, Günther Grimm, Arno Wyrwoll

Patent number: 8316297Abstract: A method for providing comprehensive documentation information of complex machines and systems, in particular an injection molding machine is disclosed. Each of the machine components has a storage device that stores information specific for the machine component; in addition, an individual identification is assigned to each of the machine parts. An overall documentation of the machine is generated by combining the component-specific information from a first documentation memory and the part-specific information from a second documentation memory. The overall documentation is displayed on an output device to allow an operator to determine an up-to-date machine configuration and machine state and to intervene in operation and maintenance of the machine.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2007Date of Patent: November 20, 2012Assignee: KraussMaffei GmbHInventors: Günther Grimm, Markus Betsche, Herbert Pickel

Publication number: 20120053718Abstract: In order to be able to freely define or program in a simple way a certain temperature profile which is exactly adjusted to each injection molding cycle in terms of time and run the same in a cycle-synchronized manner, according to the invention a control device for an injection molding machine is provided, in which several events and/or states which are specific to an injection molding cycle and occur during the injection molding cycle, as well as several types of temperature changes are stored and available to a user for selection. The user can select events and/or states as well as types of temperature changes, associate said events and/or states and types of temperature changes with each other, and form a series from several such associations. The events and/or states occurring successively during the injection molding cycle over the course of time as well as the types of temperature changes associated with said events and/or states result in a temporal curve of the temperature.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2010Publication date: March 1, 2012Applicant: KraussMaffei Technologies GmbHInventor: Günther Grimm

Patent number: 7787983Abstract: In a method for sequentially programming an injection molding cycle of an injection molding machine comprising one or several injection molds, the injection molding cycle is started manually step by step. The parts of the injection molding machine and/or the parts of the injection mold(s) are manually displaced into the positions or states required for the injection molding cycle in the order required for the injection molding cycle. The movement sequence (the actions and the obtained states) of the machine parts and/or the mold parts is stored in a controller.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2007Date of Patent: August 31, 2010Assignee: KraussMaffei Technologies GmbHInventors: Günther Grimm, Markus Betsche, Dietrich Hunold

Publication number: 20100065979Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus, particularly a extruder or injection molding machine, for user-specifically monitoring and preferably regulating the processing of plastic materials. Said apparatus comprises a material feeding mechanism (1) that delivers the plastic as a raw material, a plasticizing device (2) which plasticizes/homogenizes the raw material, and a molding device (3) that shapes the plasticized/homogenized raw material into a product. A data link can be established between a control device (5) and an input device (130) via which at least one value of a process input variable, such as the cost of the apparatus, the raw material, power, and processed quantity, can be input. At least one process monitoring variable, e.g.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2007Publication date: March 18, 2010Applicant: KraussMaffei Technologies GmbHInventors: Markus Betsche, Günther Grimm, Arno Wyrwoll
