  • Patent number: 9978133
    Abstract: In an ejection controller for an injection molding machine, an image of an ejection process for a molded article is captured, a point in time when the molded article starts to drop from a mold is obtained as a drop start time point, an ejection stop time point is set based on the obtained drop start time point, and an ejection operation of an ejection device is interrupted at the set time point. Thus, the ejection is interrupted in a predetermined position, so that an operator can manually remove the molded article.

  • Patent number: 5310331
    Abstract: In a core drive apparatus for an injection molding machine, a servomotor is used as a drive source to drive movable cores which, in conjunction with mold parts, define molding cavities. The servomotor is connected to a control device for controlling the drive of various injection molding machine units including the servomotor. The servomotor is connected to the movable cores by a driven shaft, gears, and screw shafts formed integrally with the movable cores, by attaching a movable mold body to a movable mold mounting section supporting the driven shaft. One end of the driven shaft is fitted on an output shaft of the servomotor attached to a movable platen so that attachment of a mold to the molding machine is facilitated.

  • Patent number: 5045253
    Abstract: An automatic mold thickness adjusting method is provided, which is capable of effecting mold thickness adjustment in a short time by a low-cost mold clamping apparatus using a general-purpose motor for mold thickness adjustment, and of preventing an overcurrent from flowing in the motor. A crosshead is retreated to a position behind a position (LO) for production of a set mold clamping force when the crosshead reaches a lock-up position before a die-touch state is attained, or when the die-touch state is established in a crosshead position before the aforesaid position (LO), and a rear platen is advanced so that the die-touch state is attained.
