  • Publication number: 20230100867
    Abstract: Provided is an apparatus for taking out a molded product, which is capable of determining occurrence of a suction error and/or likelihood of a suction error of the molded product with high accuracy and of knowing a cause thereof. A pressure data storing section stores time-series pressure data from a pressure detector. A suction error cause determining section determines occurrence of a suction error and/or likelihood of a suction error of a molded product by a suction member on a basis of a time-series comparison result obtained by comparing the stored time-series pressure data with predetermined time-series reference data. When the suction error cause determining section determines the occurrence of the suction error and/or the likelihood of the suction error, the suction error cause determining section determines a cause of the occurring suction error and a solution therefor based on a time-series change pattern.

  • Publication number: 20220402172
    Abstract: A system for taking out a molded product that does not require an operator to determine the sucking operation start time for a vacuum sucker by himself/herself by trial and error is provided. A controller includes a time interval measuring section configured to measure a time interval judging from an output from a pressure detector. The time interval measuring section measures a stable time interval since the pressure in a pipe reaches a predetermined pressure until a sucking operation start pressure is detected judging from an output from the pressure detector. The sucking operation start pressure indicates that a suction nozzle starts operation to suck up a molded product hereby the predetermined pressure is maintained. A sucking operation start time determining section of the controller determines a sucking operation start time such that a stable time interval is longer than a bias time interval, concurrently with movement control for a moving mechanism.
