Abstract:
A localized pressurizing type injection molding machine for applying various processings to moldings during the injection molding cycle, and the injection molding machine can apply various processings to the moldings after the injection molding process. The injection molding machine comprises a stationary platen (12) and a movable platen (14). A pressurizing pin (24) extends through at least a portion of either one of the two platens and the forward end thereof is linearly movably disposed inside a cavity. A pressurizing cylinder (32) is provided in the rear of the above-mentioned pressurizing pin (24), whereby a hydraulic pressure supplying means supplies pulse-form hydraulic pressure to the above-mentioned pressurizing cylinder (32), so that the pressurizing pin (24) can be oscillated. The pulse-from pressurizing force is applied to the resin after the fill-up, so that a predetermined processing is applied to the molding. Accordingly, a highly accurate processed surface can be obtained.
Abstract:
A system and method of controlling hold pressure applied to molding cavities (71) of a stacked multi-parting injection molding system having desynchronized injection periods while cyclic injection molding a plastic material. A combination of the center molding block (68) and an injection system (75) together provide an adjustable feed system. The feed system is adjusted to enable plastic material to be fed from the injection system through a left branch (81) to the left molding cavity (71). The injected plastic material is confined within the left branch (81) and the left molding cavity (71); and the confined plastic material is hold pressurized by a movable packing element. A like sequence of steps is followed to hold pressurized the right molding cavity. When the molding cavities have desynchronous opening periods, the closed molding cavity is locked to maintain it in a closed position while the other molding cavity is open; and axial clamping force is applied to the locked molding cavity by expanding the thickness of at least one of the molding blocks that defines the locked molding cavity.

Abstract:
An injection mold machine is disclosed having a pressure assist nozzle (14). The machine has an extruder (16), a nozzle (18), and an housing (24) mounted between the extruder and nozzle. The housing (24) encloses the pressure assist nozzle (14) and a fluidic passage (22) connecting the extruder and the nozzle. A bore (30) within the housing extends into the fluidic passage to define a portion of the passage between the extruder and the nozzle. The bore (30) has an aperture (32) within a side wall which acts as a valve opening within the passage which, when closed, prevents flow between the extruder and the nozzle. An annular sleeve (36) is reciprocated within the bore between a retract position, in which the annular sleeve (36) is withdrawn from the passage, and an extend position, in which the annular sleeve (36) is projected into the passage so as to close the aperture (32). A plunger piston (50) reciprocally resides within the annular sleeve (36). The plunger piston (50) is held in a retracted position by the annular sleeve (36) while the annular sleeve is in its retract position. When the annular sleeve (36) has been actuated to close the aperture (32), the plunger piston (50) becomes coupled with the annular sleeve (36) and accompanies the annular sleeve as it continues toward the extend position such that the plunger piston (50) acts to compress the melt within the molds.
Abstract:
In an injection molding machine employing a servo motor as a source for driving the injection axle to drive the screw in the axial direction, a method is provided to smoothly shift the dwelling step to the metering/kneading step, in order to prevent the error register in the servo circuit from overflowing and to prevent the injection molding machine from coming into halt. When the dwelling step is finished, the error register is followed up (steps S6 to S8) such that the error quantity stored in the error register of the servo circuit that drives the servo motor for injection axle becomes zero. Then, a torque limit value to be applied to the servo motor is switched from a setpoint value for dwelling to a setpoint value for metering and kneading (step S11). The error register is then followed up again over a predetermined period of time from when the torque limit value is switched (step S13), and the step is shifted to the metering/kneading step (step S14).

Abstract:
Es wird ein Verfahren zum Spritzgießen von Hohlkörper-Formteilen aus thermoplastischen Kunststoffen vorgeschlagen, bei welchem zunächst eine zur Ausbildung des Formteiles ausreichende Menge des schmelzflüssigen Kunststoffs in die Spritzform gedrückt wird. Dann wird in die Spritzform und/oder den thermoplastischen Kunststoff ein strömungsfähiges Medium, insbesondere Gas, mit einem Druck eingepreßt, der die Kunststoffmasse gleichmäßig über die Oberfläche des Formhohlraums unter Bildung eines Hohlkörpers verteilt. Daraufhin wird der unter Mediendruck gehaltene Hohlkörper in der Spritzform abgekühlt. Schließlich wird der Mediendruck aus dem Hohlkörper abgelassen und dann das Formteil entformt sowie aus der Spritzfrom entnommen. Wesentlich ist dabei, daß der Mediendruck innerhalb der Spritzform bzw. auf die über die Oberfläche des Formhohlraums verteilte Kunststoffmasse bis zu deren Abkühlung zumindest zweitweilig variiert wird, und zwar nach einem für das jeweilige Formteil und/oder Kunststoffmaterial vorgegebenen Druckprofil geregelt und/oder gesteuert wird.
Abstract:
n a pressure setting method which is used for an injection molding machine equipped with a mold, an injection unit and a control unit and which sets and controls a series of pressures required at the start of injection of a resin to the mold and a dwelling step through a fitting step, the method of the present invention sets sequentially the series of pressures described above in accordance with a time-injection pressure characteristic curve that is determined under the condition that the volume of the resin inside the mold at the dwelling step is substantially constant, and changes locally the dwelling stop of the characteristic curve in accordance with a mold to be obtained. The characteristic curve provides an exponential curve at the dwelling step and the local change- described above is carried out pulse-wise so that the characteristic curve becomes discontinuous. In this matter, the pressure values can be set in accordance with the shape and thickness of the resulting mold. To obtain such pressure values, the control unit includes a function generator to which parameters at each step are applied, and a signal generator for applying the pulse is connected to this function generator.
