摘要:
A method and apparatus for performing an injection molding cycle comprising drivably interconnecting a valve pin to an electric motor actuator and controllably operating the electric motor to drive the valve pin at one or more reduced rates of upstream or downstream travel based on either detection of the position of the pin or actuator or on a preselected length of time at which to drive the valve pin.

A clamp assembly for an injection molding machine includes (a) a clamp cylinder housing and (b) a clamp piston affixed to an end portion of a tie bar and slidable within the housing among a clamping position, a mold break position, and a meshing position disposed axially intermediate the clamping and the mold break positions. The clamp assembly further includes (c) a clamp chamber for urging the clamp piston towards the clamping position when pressurized; (d) a return device for urging the clamp piston towards the meshing position when pressure in the clamp chamber is relieved; and (e) a mold break chamber for urging the clamp piston towards the mold break position when pressurized. The mold break chamber is bounded axially by opposed surfaces of the tie bar and the return device.

The present disclosure provides a molding machine and a method of molding a part. The molding machine may include multiple molding systems (e.g., extruders) for pumping molten material into one or more mold cavities. The multiple molding systems may pump the same material or different materials into the one or more mold cavities. The multiple molding systems may be individually and/or collectively controlled. A method of molding a part may include pumping material into one or more mold cavities via multiple molding systems, ceasing pumping material into the one or more mold cavities when one or more pressures associated with the multiple molding systems are achieved, and releasing a molded part from the one or more mold cavities after the one or more pressures are achieved.

An actuator (100) for a molding system (900) is disclosed. The actuator (100) includes a linear actuator (102). The linear actuator (102) is configured to move a payload (160) relative to a support structure (170). The linear actuator (102) is connectable to the support structure (170) and the payload (160). The actuator (100) also includes a first compensator (104). The first compensator (104) is configured to compensate for a relative misalignment between the linear actuator (102) and the payload (160). The actuator (100) further includes a second compensator (106). The second compensator (106) is configured to compensate for a relative misalignment between the linear actuator (102) and the support structure (170).

摘要:
An electric all-dimensional numerical control injection molding machine is applicable to production of injection products with high precision and complex three-dimensional shapes. The machine comprises a machine base, a main board, four sets of electric mould guiding devices, a cross-shaped chute mould assembly, and an injection device assembly. The electric mould guiding devices are mounted on a front face of the machine. A slider mould is disposed in a chute of a cross-shaped mould base, is connected to a shaft of an electric driver, and implements mould opening and closing functions by means of linear movement of the shaft of the electric driver. An injection system of the machine is used for injecting plasticized, fused, and homogenized plastic materials into a mould cavity of the mould.

A mould clamping device for an injection-molding machine includes a fixed platen, a movable platen, pressure pads for generating a clamping force, and a spindle drive for moving the movable platen. The spindle drive has a non-rotating spindle shaft and a spindle nut which can be rotationally driven by a motor. The spindle shaft has a threaded portion in engagement with a matching thread of the spindle nut. To permit a free relative movement between the spindle drive and the movable platen, a piston-cylinder unit is in operative connection with the spindle drive and has on both sides of the piston pressure medium spaces, which can optionally be hydraulically blocked or connected to one another. In the latter state, the spindle drive is decoupled from the movable platen and freely floating with respect to it.
