Patent number: 8932506Abstract: The resin injection molding method of the present invention is a method for molding resins inside a cavity formed within a mold. The method comprises injecting resins into the cavity through a plurality of paths installed so as to be openable and closable and optionally maintaining the resin inside the cavity at a pressure; closing each of the plurality of paths such that the resins injected from each path converge, there being a time difference between when a first path and a second path of the plurality of paths are closed; and solidifying at least the resin which is injected from the path closed earliest with a crystallinity greater than or equal to a predetermined crystallinity degree.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2010Date of Patent: January 13, 2015Assignee: Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Plastic TechnologyInventors: Naoki Toda, Satoshi Imaeda, Takeshi Yamaguchi, Toshihiko Kariya

Patent number: 8043537Abstract: There are provided an injection molding system, a computer program, a method of injection molding, and an injection molding machine capable of performing precise temperature control of a mold even when there is a delay in temperature increase of the mold in heat supply with a heating medium. The temperature control is performed so that temperatures of a fixed mold and a movable mold are maintained between an upper limit TU and a lower limit TL of a predetermined temperature range after start of injection of resin during an injection molding cycle. The temperature control of the fixed mold and the movable mold is performed only by switching ON/OFF supply of the heating medium, and cooling with a cooling medium is not performed.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2007Date of Patent: October 25, 2011Assignee: Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Plastics Technology Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshio Shikase, Michitaka Hattori, Shigeru Nozaki, Satoshi Imaeda, Toshihiko Kariya
