Abstract: A gap control part controls a clamping device so that mating surfaces in a die face each other across a gap, and thereby a cavity and an external part of the die communicate across the gap. A molten metal feed control part controls a molten metal feed device so as to feed molten metal into a sleeve when the gap is being maintained. An injection control part controls an injection device so as to start a forward movement of a plunger at a time when the gap is maintained and there is the molten metal in the sleeve. A clamping control part controls a clamping device so as to make the mating surfaces abut against each other to eliminate the gap after the forward movement of the plunger is started and before the molten metal reaches a molten metal surface height at which the molten metal flows into the gap.

Abstract: A die casting machine includes a clamping device which opens and closes and clamps a pair of die halves, an injection apparatus which performs injection to the pair of die halves by making a plunger move forward in a sleeve communicated with a space between the pair of die halves, and a control device which controls the clamping device and injection apparatus. The control device includes an injection control part and press-use clamping control part. The injection control part controls the injection apparatus so as to start the injection in a state where the pair of die halves face each other through a gap. The press-use clamping control part controls the clamping device so that the die contact and clamping are carried out after the start of injection. Further, the injection control part performs control for decelerating the plunger before the plunger stops.

Abstract: An apparatus for producing a semi-solidified metal has a heating device which heats a metal material, a vessel, a cooling device which cools the vessel, and a pouring device which pours the metal material into the vessel. The vessel has a hollow member which configures a wall of the vessel and is opened at both of the upper and lower ends and into which the metal material is poured from the upper opening, and a bottom member which closes the lower opening of the hollow member and configures the bottom of the vessel. The cooling speed of the metal material by the bottom member is faster than the cooling speed of the metal material by the hollow member.

Abstract: An production apparatus of a semi-solidified metal has a vessel and a cooling device. The vessel into which a liquid-state metal material M is poured has a hollow member which is opened in up and down directions, and a bottom member which can close the lower opening of the hollow member and can be separated from the hollow member. The cooling device can cool the bottom member more than the hollow member.

Abstract: In a stacking and forwarding apparatus, an array of work is continuously transported or rails by belts and a preceeding one of works is located and stopped in a receiving space defined by stoppers. The preceeding one of works is lifted by three guide rails which are located at left and right sides and front side of the work. Thus, a next work is received in the receiving space under the preceeding work and also lifted by the rollers. The pair of stacked works is pushed outside of the apparatus.

Abstract: An apparatus of this invention includes first and second supply rolls of wrapping film sheets. The film sheet is fed from first supply roll to a wrapping machine. The distal end of the film sheet of the second supply roll is partially fixed by an adhesive tape. In this state, the film sheet cannot be fed from the second supply roll. The second supply roll can be rotated in the forward or reverse direction. The apparatus also includes a knife for cutting the adhesive tape of the second supply roll. When the remaining length of the film sheet fed from the first supply roll becomes short, the knife is brought into contact with the outer surface of the second supply roll. By utilizing the rotation of the roll, the knife is inserted under the distal end of the film sheet of the second supply roll. Thereafter, the knife is moved along the outer surface of the second supply roll in the axial direction thereof, thereby cutting the adhesive tape of the second supply roll.

Abstract: A control method of operation of a collective packing machine, which packing machine is composed of a main packing machine and an auxiliary packing machine. The main packing machine is in continuous operation while the auxiliary packing machine is in stop waiting operation wherein the auxiliary packing machine is operated in matching and synchronization with the main packing machine. When the auxiliary packing machine is at the stop waiting state, the revolution speed of a main shaft of the main packing machine and the revolution speed of an input shaft of a clutch of the auxiliary packing machine are controlled by comparing and matching therebetween. When an output shaft of the clutch is stopped and operation of the auxiliary packing machine is started, operation starting time of the auxiliary packing machine is made earlier than the normal operation starting time by time t.sub.s. The time t.sub.
