Abstract:
An injection compression molding method of a lens is provided, where a toggle link mechanism (65) is actuated to close a molding die (50) and a movable die plate (64) is moved to a position establishing a cavity thickness of greater than a thickness of an article to be molded while the die is closed. After injecting a molten resin into the cavity, the molten resin is sealed in the cavity and the toggle link mechanism (65) is actuated to advance the movable die plate (64) toward a fixed die plate (61), the relative position of a rear die plate (62) and the movable die plate (64) is made constant at a position where extension of a tie bar (63) becomes a predetermined value, and the molten resin is cooled for a predetermined time after completion of pressurizing the resin.
Abstract:
Disclosed, amongst other things, is a method, molding machine, and computer-readable product for post-mold cooling a molded article (2), comprising balancing cooling rates between portions (2′, 2″, 2′″) of the molded article (2).
Abstract:
Disclosed, amongst other things, is a method of post-mold cooling of a molded article, the molded article having just been molded within mold halves, the method comprising: receiving, in a post-mold device, the molded article; subjecting the molded article to post-mold cooling, the post-mold cooling including: implementing a first post-mold cooling process portion in the post-mold cooling device at a first temperature; and implementing a second post-mold cooling process in the post-mold cooling device portion at a second temperature, said second post-mold cooling temperature being greater than said first post-mold cooling temperature; determining a switch point; triggering at the switch point, a transition from the first post-mold cooling process portion to the second post-mold cooling process portion.

Abstract:
To provide a method for manufacturing a novel molded article using a commingled yarn and a composite material using a commingled yarn. The method for manufacturing a molded article, includes disposing a commingled yarn containing a continuous reinforcing fiber and a continuous thermoplastic resin fiber on a part of a surface of a prepreg, the prepreg containing continuous reinforcing fibers paralleling at least unidirectionally, and a thermosetting resin impregnated between the continuous reinforcing fibers, and heat-processing the prepreg with the commingled yarn.
Abstract:
The application provides a molding apparatus. The molding apparatus comprises a first mold-defining member together with a second mold-defining member, one or more channels, and one or more moveable cores. The first mold-defining member together with the second mold-defining member defines an internal cavity. The channels comprise inlets for receiving molten resin and outlets to the internal cavity. The moveable cores are moveable between a first position and a second position, wherein the moveable core in the second position reduces a volume of the internal cavity and closes the channel outlets. The moveable core is also independently moveable with respect to the first mold-defining member and with respect to the second mold-defining member.
Abstract:
A molding machine able to detect a burr or other abnormality by detecting the position of tie bars. A control device detects an occurrence of burrs according to whether or not displacement amounts of pistons associated with the tie bars, using position sensors which detect the position of the pistons. The position sensors detect position from the start of injection to the completion of the injection to determine whether detected values are within a permissible range.
Abstract:
Disclosed, amongst other things, is a method, molding machine, and computer-readable product for post-mold cooling a molded article (2), comprising balancing cooling rates during the post-mold cooling so that the molded article (2) reaches a target exit temperature at a point of time that substantially coincides with a point of time when the molded article (2) is removed from post-mold cooling.
Abstract:
A hot runner system includes a having a cavity. Melt is fed from a source of melt into the cavity, and a valve isolates melt in the cavity from melt in the source. A plunger within the cavity is driven forward to inject melt in the cavity into a mold cavity at high pressure without significantly increasing the pressure of melt in the source. The plunger optionally functions as both the plunger and the valve by opening and closing communication between the cavity and the manifold as it is rotated.
