  • Patent number: 10730217
    Abstract: A numerical controller instructs a robot or an automated machine (external device), in relation to a main task for which a retrying operation thereof has occurred, to execute, instead of or in addition to the main task, a sorting task to distinguish an exception molded product, which was produced from a time when a determination result became successful, and until a physical quantity to be measured lies within a management range, or until a stand-by time elapses, from a normal molded product produced before the occurrence of the retrying operation.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10688699
    Abstract: An injection molding system is equipped with a mold having a plurality of cavities, an injection device for injecting a molding material, and a controller for controlling the injection device to mold a plurality of molded parts. The controller includes a determining unit for determining quality of the plurality of molded parts molded at the plurality of cavities. Further, the controller includes a control unit for failure for preventing, when a molded part is judged to be defective, injection to a cavity used for the molded part judged to be good.

  • Patent number: 10363637
    Abstract: A molding system for assembling a part by moving a workpiece gripped by a hand of a robot toward a mold of an injection molding machine, while rotating a molded article supported on the mold and the workpiece relative to each other, whereby the molded article and the workpiece are screw-engaged. The molding system includes a rotation detector for detecting a rotational amount between the molded article and the workpiece, an assembled state judging unit for judging if the assembled part is in a predetermined state, and a control unit for relatively rotating and displacing the molded article and the workpiece until the rotational amount exceeds a predetermined rotational amount and the assembled state becomes the predetermined state.
