An injection molding system includes a molding device, an inspection device configured to inspect a molded product and a control device that includes a storage unit, and a reception unit configured to receive a change content of a parameter included in a standard molding condition. The control device executes a first control of forming the molded product under a second molding condition in which the parameter is changed based on the change content, a second control of forming the molded product under a third molding condition in which the same parameter is changed, a third control of associating the second molding condition with an inspection result of the molded product formed under the second molding condition and storing the association, and a fourth control of associating the third molding condition with the inspection result of the molded product formed under the third molding condition and storing the association.

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for efficiently and economically manufacturing molded polymer products such as those that require a two-shot, two-material injection molding process, with complex geometries and incorporate metal components such as inserts. The systems and methods include compact manufacturing cells and processes of operating such manufacturing cells. The manufacturing cells include a single injection molding machine with two molds arranged to simultaneously operate both molds. The manufacturing cell is arranged to be fully automated so that it is operative without the need for intervention or management from dedicated personnel. Such automation includes the automated sorting and placement of metal inserts into the injection molding machine, the automated removal of the product after the first molding stage and second molding stage, the automated inspection of every finished product, the automated sorting of conforming and rejected products, and the automated packaging of finished product for shipment to end user.

Systems and approaches for determining design of experiment parameters using largest empty area rectangle optimization for an injection molding system. The systems and methods include obtaining pressure versus time data sets indicative of fill step pressures and corresponding fill step times for a plurality of mold cycles and defining a low and high pressure versus time curves from the data sets, with the low and high pressure versus time curves being two surfaces of a geometric shape. The systems and methods further include identifying a top surface and a bottom surface of the geometric shape; identifying a rectangle having the largest area of all rectangles contained within the first geometric shape; and generating design of experiment parameters from the largest area rectangle.

An injection molding apparatus for forming a gasket around an edge of a glass is provided. The injection molding apparatus includes: an injection mold die; a fixing component, disposed inside the injection mold die and adapted for fixing the glass inside the injection mold die; a detection unit, mounted to the injection molding apparatus and adapted for detecting an image or vibration of the glass; a determination unit, coupled with the detection unit and adapted for determining whether the glass breaks based on a detection result of the detection unit. The apparatus can determine whether the glass breaks, such that the risk of scratching the injection mold die by glass breaking may be reduced. Therefore, the injection molding yield can be improved, the time for repairing the injection mold die may be reduced and a service life of the injection mold die may be prolonged.

The apparatus is intended for performing quality checks on preforms (10) each having a body made of plastics material having an internal cavity (12) communicating with the exterior through an end opening (14) of the body. The apparatus comprises: a conveyor device (20) for transporting the preforms (10) along a predetermined path, an optical device (22) disposed along the path and suitable for forming an image of each of the preforms (10), a pneumatic device (24) disposed along the path and suitable for putting the internal cavity (12) of each of the preforms (10) under partial vacuum for a predetermined period of time, an electronic control unit (28) suitable for comparing the images of the preforms (10) with a standard reference image and/or for checking whether the value of the partial vacuum remains unchanged during the said period of time, and a selector device (26) disposed along the path and capable of separating the preforms (10) on the basis of the result of the comparison and/or checking operations performed by the control unit (28).
摘要:
For observing a flow of molten resin in an injection molding apparatus, a transparent cylinder, which is formed of transparent glass or transparent plastic material, is used in place of a mold of the apparatus. Because filling the transparent cylinder with the molten resin up to the cylinder's full capacity will burst the cylinder, the molten resin injection is terminated on the way when the injected molten resin has occupied a predetermined percentage, in a range of 50–90%, of the total volume of the cylinder, so that a burst of the cylinder can be avoided. The transparent cylinder provides for an increased resin-flow observation range because of its transparency, and can be less expensive because it is formed of inexpensive glass or plastic. As a consequence, there can be provided an efficient resin-flow observing experiment apparatus at lower cost.

The present invention replaces the multiple controller systems by incorporating the controller of sensory devices with the part-forming machine controller (typically a personal computer), thereby producing a synergistic combination. More specifically, sensory devices such as, for exemplary purposes only, cameras, infrared sensors, ultrasonic sensors, or other sensing devices are connected directly to one or more preexisting serial, parallel or USB ports or other bus interfaces of the machine controller. By programming the machine controller or loading software therein, the machine controller can receive the input signal(s)/data from the sensory device, analyze the data, provide an output signal to the sensory device and communicate directly and contemporaneously with the machine controller software.
