  • Patent number: 8512608
    Abstract: An injection molding device comprises a mold-clamping device that operates in both of a mold-closing state in which a mold is closed under predetermined pressure and a micro mold-open state in which the mold is held in a state in which the mold is open from the mold-closing state by a predetermined amount, an injection device that molds a molded product by injecting a molding material into the mold set to the mold-closing state or the micro mold-open state and a controller that changes a stop position of the mold in the micro mold-open state in accordance with a change of a mold-closing position when the mold-closing position of the mold in the mold-closing state is changed.

  • Patent number: 7218990
    Abstract: A barrel has an injection nozzle at the forward end, and an injection screw inside, and heaters in the outer circumference. The barrel injects the molten resin from the injection nozzle at the forward end by the rotation of the injection screw. In the barrel, the temperatures of each parts are controlled by a temperature control section. A controller sets a shift minus temperature to uniformly lower the temperature of the parts, and a shift absolute temperature to lower the temperatures of the parts to a predetermined temperature. An operation panel section selects the shift minus temperature or shift absolute temperature to lower the temperatures of the parts. The temperature control section lowers the temperatures of the parts of the barrel by using the temperature selected when the injection molding machine is temporarily stopped.

  • Patent number: 6835337
    Abstract: In the filling step, the forward movement speed of the screw is controlled in accordance with a predetermined speed pattern until the screw reaches a deceleration initiation point, LS4B. After the screw reaches LS4B, a deceleration step is started. In the deceleration step, the forward movement speed of the screw is controlled in a feedback manner such that the internal pressure of the mold reaches a predetermined target pressure. When the screw reaches a pressure holding initiation point, LS4 (or pressure holding initiation time, TR2), the pressure holding step is started. In the pressure holding step, the target pressure, which is a function of time, is changed with time in accordance with a program. When the operation goes to the pressure holding step, the set of PID coefficients within the feedback control loop are replaced by different set of PID coefficients.

  • Patent number: 6616871
    Abstract: A filling step control method of an injection molding machine for filling a molten resin into a die cavity is provided. The control method has the steps of: sampling in initiating the filling step for filling the molten resin into the die cavity by controlling an injection speed and, thereafter, by controlling a filling pressure while not exceeding a predetermined value; storing the injection speed over an entire filling process when a quality product can be stably obtained during the sampling step into a storage medium as a reference waveform; and after storing the reference waveform, molding for filling the molten resin into the die cavity by controlling the injection speed to follow the reference waveform over the entire filling step.
