Abstract:
A platen of an injection molding machine includes a plate-shaped center area having corners, each corner formed with a recess. A plurality of sleeves is received in the recesses of the center area and defines bores for accommodation of column-like holding and/or guide elements. The sleeves have an outer surface in confronting relationship to the center area and are configured for only partial connection to the center area, thereby establishing an elastic connection between the center area and the sleeves.
Abstract:
A control system for a plastics processing machine with at least one central processing unit with a real-time operating system is described. The central processing unit is connected to a plurality of actuators and/or sensors via a bus system, with at least one actuator and/or sensor directed to a rapidly fluctuating variable with a high-resolution. The first central processing unit can be released of overly burdensome control and communication tasks by using a first pre-processing unit which performs signal pre-processing for several sensors and/or actuators and by using a second pre-processing unit, which relieves the central processing unit directly of the bus communication.
Abstract:
A plastics processing machine can be operated more flexibly by providing the controller of the plastic-processing machine with a wireless communication device that can exchange status and operating information with a remote input/output device via a communication network. The remote input/output device can be, for example, a mobile telephone or a handheld computer with integrated wireless capabilities.
