Abstract: An injection molding system includes a conveyor apparatus that moves a mold, and an injection molding apparatus that performs, using an injection cylinder and a screw, injection molding with the mold, wherein the improvement of the injection molding system includes at least one structure located in proximity to at least a part of the conveyor apparatus, wherein the at least one structure includes at least one element that is moveable, and wherein, when the screw is removed from the injection cylinder, the at least one element is in a position to prevent the at least one element from contacting the screw.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit configured to form an image on a recording material based on first image data; a controller configured to control an image forming operation by the image forming unit; an acquisition unit configured to acquire property information related to a property of the recording material; a setting unit configured to set a control value to be used in the image forming operation; a reader configured to read an image formed on the recording material by the image forming unit and to output second image data; and a comparison unit configured to compare the first image data to the second image data, wherein the setting unit is further configured to set the control value based on a comparison result from the comparison unit and the property information.

Abstract: A manufacturing system including an injection molding machine and a conveyance apparatus injections a mold and cools the mold at a molding operation position in the injection molding machine, ejections a molded part from the mold at the molding operation position, and conveys the mold to a path of the conveyance apparatus and heats the mold on the path.

Abstract: A method for detachably attaching a linking unit, including an end with a hole and a slit, to a mold, the method comprising inserting a first attachment member connected to the mold through the hole; and inserting a second attachment member connected to the mold through the slit, wherein the linking unit is detached from the mold by moving the linking unit in a direction opposite to a direction in which the slit is formed in a state where the first attachment member is disconnected from the mold and the second attachment member remains connected to the mold.
