  • Patent number: 6969245
    Abstract: Injection-moulding machine with at least one handling device, with an electronic stored-program control (SPC) for the injection-moulding machine and an electronic stored-program control for the handling device, characterized in that the stored-program control (SPC IMM, 17) for the injection-moulding machine (IMM) and the stored-program control (SPC R, 29) for the handling device (10) are realized on one and the same, common digital computer (30).
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: November 29, 2005
    Assignee: Engel Maschinenbau Gesellschaft m.b.H.
    Inventors: Rupert Mörwald, Engelbert Kastner
  • Patent number: 6925354
    Abstract: Process for the control of an injection-moulding machine and optionally at least one handling apparatus allocated to same in which, in a form guiding the operator, the operating parameters required for an injection cycle to run are entered via an input unit into a data processing unit storing these operating parameters and then one or more injection cycles are carried out according to the stored operating parameters, safety conditions for the protection of machine parts by means of which certain movement sequences of the injection-molding machine or the handling device are forbidden or allowed, being specified prior to the start of injection, there being provided on a screen an input mask on which one of several, preferably graphically displayed, basic movement modules is selected in each case and on which then, for every selected basic movement module, a safety condition in the form of logical, preferably Boolean operations is adjusted or adopted from the state of one or more different basic movement modules

  • Publication number: 20030082269
    Abstract: An apparatus for the injection moulding of plastic material, comprising a stationary and a movable mould mounting plate for the parts of the mould which receives the plastic material, separate devices for displacement of the movable mould mounting plate between an open and a closed position of the mould and for producing the closing force for holding the mould parts together, wherein the movable mould mounting plate bears against at least one fixable abutment which is displaceable in the released condition with the mould mounting plate, wherein a single motor serves for displacement of the movable mould mounting plate, for producing the closing force and for fixing or releasing the abutment.

  • Publication number: 20020084544
    Abstract: Process for the application of the clamping pressure to the closed mould of an injection-moulding machine using a servomotor acting on a toggle, the build-up of pressure taking place by moving the toggle into its prespecified final position directly after the closing of the mould by a defined rotation of the servomotor, and the moment applied by the servomotor being monitored, and the place of the clamping of the mould and thus the beginning of the build-up of pressure being inferred from the reaching of a set value.
