  • Patent number: 8281664
    Abstract: A measuring arrangement for measuring one or more pressures and/or temperatures in an injection-molding system includes a base plate and at least one mould insert with at least part of a cavity. The base plate and the mould insert rest against one another in a releasable manner on at least one common separating surface. The mould insert includes at least one sensor for detecting pressures and/or temperatures as well as a transmitter module on the separating surface, which transmitter module is electrically connected to the sensor. The base plate includes a receiving module on the separating surface opposite the transmitter module, wherein measurement data can be transmitted from the transmitter module to the receiving module. The transmitter module and the receiving module on the separating surface are essentially planar and can be separated without force.

  • Patent number: 7866971
    Abstract: A coupling for a plastics injection molding machine which connects a drive shaft to a screw comprises at least one force sensor with a measuring element for the indirect determination of the nozzle pressure. The coupling comprises a first connection which has torsional strength and does not transfer axial force. The coupling comprises a second connection, which is mechanically uncoupled from the first connection and is compression proof and does not transfer torque between the drive shaft and the feed screw. The measuring element is arranged in the force path A of the second compression proof connection but is not also in the force path T of the first connection. Thus, during operation, measurements in the measuring element are not falsified by torsional forces.

  • Patent number: 7789559
    Abstract: A temperature sensor has a sensor tip and a front for measuring the temperature of the inner walls of tools, particularly inner walls of injection molding tools. The tip of the temperature sensor has two thermocouple wires of a thermocouple. Each thermocouple wire of the thermocouple guided to the front is welded to the sensor tip up to a depth which is larger than the total processing depth behind the front. The sensor tip is processable by removing of material at the front up to that processing depth.

  • Publication number: 20080080589
    Abstract: The invention describes a temperature sensor 1 having a sensor tip 2 and a front 3 for measuring the temperature of tool inner walls 4, particularly of injection molding tool inner walls 12, with two thermocouple wires 6, 7 of a thermocouple 8 wherein the sensor tip 2 is processable by removing of material at the front 3 up to a processing depth L. The idea underlying the invention is that in the temperature sensor 1 according to the invention, each thermocouple wire 6, 7 of the thermocouple 8 guided to the front 3 is welded to the sensor tip 2 up to a depth which is larger than the total processing depth L behind the front 3.
