  • Patent number: 9411911
    Abstract: A device for controlling the course of a process in the production of parts in a tool with or without subsequent reject separation, includes a sensor, which is fitted to the tool to detect measured values during a production process, which can mean an assembly process, a jointing process and any other process, until the part to be produced is finished and ready for delivery. The device includes an output element and a data processing system having a display for reading in and displaying the detected measured values. The data processing system analyzes target parameters provided by the user and the detected measured values to determine an output quantity that is transferred by the output element for the purpose of controlling the course of the process. Operation of the device performs a method for controlling the course of a process.

  • Patent number: 9387617
    Abstract: A method for controlling an injection process in an open-loop or closed-loop manner in the production of a molded part injects melt mass by at least one injection unit into at least one cavity enclosed by a tool by means of at least one nozzle. The at least one cavity has at least one measuring location, which is coupled to a binary detector, which can change from a first defined state to a second defined state. The binary detector changes the state thereof at the time at which the melt mass arrives at the measuring location. On the basis of the state change of the binary detector, an open-loop or closed-loop control unit controls the injection velocity V of the at least one injection unit in an open-loop or closed-loop manner, the temperature T of the melt mass before the injection, the termination of the injection at the at least one nozzle, and/or the starting of a subsequent process.
