Abstract: A press working control method for controlling the press working operation of a press having a pressure cylinder for applying a working pressure to a workpiece, a press slide operatively connected to the pressure cylinder and carrying a movable die, a bed fixedly mounted with a fixed die, a plurality of control cylinders supporting the press slide in a level position during the press working operation, and a press control system for carrying out the press working control method.

Abstract: In a cage position detector for a hydraulic elevator, there is provided a detector for measuring the time duration of the power failure, when the power fails. An amount of sinkage of a cage during the power failure is obtained by the time duration of the power failure and an average sinkage amount per unit time provide in advance. A cage position, which has been detected just before the power failure, is corrected by the above obtained amount of sinkage of the cage. A cage position, from which the elevator is to reopen a normal operation for service after the recovery of power, is specified by the corrected cage position.According to the present invention, even though the cage sinks during the long power failure, it is prevented to lose the true present position of the cage, from which the elevator is to reopen the normal operation after the recovery of power.

Abstract: Method for adjusting the compression stroke allowance of a vertical injection-compression molding machine including a slide plate mounting thereon a mold clamp cylinder and an upper mold in opposition to a lower mold on a machine bed, and a lift cylinder for moving the slide plate up and down along tie bars, the method including the steps of: downwardly extending a piston rod of a hydraulic cylinder connected to the slide plate to a stroke end: upwardly extending a piston rod of an air cylinder connected to the bed thereof, with the upper and lower molds in contact with each other, until a micrometer at the upper end of the air cylinder piston rod abutts the lower end of the hydraulic cylinder piston rod; fixing the air cylinder piston rod in this state; upwardly retracting the hydraulic cylinder piston rod; setting the micrometer at a desired compression stroke allowance; lowering the hydraulic cylinder piston rod to the stroke end thereof; and lifting the slide plate so as to allow for injection-compression

Abstract: An injection molding machine is disclosed in which molten resin from an extruder is injected into the cavity of a mold through a nozzle. A runner body disposed between the mold and the extruder has a substantially L-shaped hot runner for supplying the molten resin from the extruder to the mold therethrough. The runner body is pivotably supported by a support assembly and is horizontally slidable relative to the support assembly to accommodate thermal expansion, whereby the nozzle mounted on the runner body can be brought into or out of intimate contact with the mold. To accommodate the thermal expansion of the runner body only toward the extruder, a stopper is provided on the base frame.

Abstract: A mold clamping device for an injection molding machine wherein a movable table which supports a movable mold is moved in directions approaching and moving away from a fixed table which supports a fixed mold to thereby bring the molds into open and closed states, and wherein mold clamping is effected in a closed state of the molds by mold clamping cylinders. The mold clamping device includes tie rods for guiding the movement of the movable table, the tie rods projecting upward from the fixed table and being each provided with an engaging groove such as threads or the like formed on the outer peripheral surface of its portion projecting from the movable table to the side opposite to the fixed table in the closed state of the molds; and split mold-like locking members capable of engaging with and disengaging from the tie rods each through each engaging groove in the closed state of the molds, the locking members being slidable in the axial direction of the tie rods.

Abstract: An injection molding machine having in spaced positions at least a first injecting station for injecting a plasticized resin material into a die cavity and a second station for further treating the injected resin material concurrently and in relation with the injecting operation at the injecting station, the molding machine including a die carriage movable to and from the first and second stations and fixedly supporting thereon at least a lower die of an injection molding die set; a track for guiding movements of the die carriage to and from the respective stations; a carriage clamp for fixing the die carriage at the respective stations; a die closing mechanism provided at each station for releasably clamping an upper die against the lower die; and a drive mechanism for moving the die carriage sequentially to the first and second stations.

Abstract: An exhaust gas treating device for injection molding machines, in which a vent port of a vented injection machine is connected to a vacuum and an exhaust gas treating mechanism for treating the gas discharged from the vent port characterized in that a mist separator, the vacuum pump, an air-water separator and a deodorizing unit are disposed in the above-mentioned order from the vent port side and in communication with the vent port.

Abstract: A waste gas discharging device for use in an injection molding machine including a vacuum pump connected by way of a waste gas discharging unit to a vent hole in an injection molding machine, a branch path leading to a blower and connected between the vent hole and the waste gas discharging unit, the branch path being open and closed by a firstchange-over valve, and a second change-over valve disposed between the vacuum pump and the waste gas discharging unit, whereby waste gas from the waste gas discharging unit is discharged to atmosphere, without passing through the vacuum pump.
