Abstract:
An injection assembly (1) for a molding machine (2), in particular an injection molding machine, comprising an injection piston (3), a drive device (4) for moving the injection piston (3), and a force storage means, wherein the force storage means connects the drive device (4) to the injection piston (3).
Abstract:
A method for the production of an injection-moulded part including casting an injection-moulding material at least two injection-moulding stations by at least two injection-moulding processes. A pre-moulded part, produced in one of the at least two injection-moulding processes, is cooled in a cooling station between the at least two injection-moulding processes.
Abstract:
A closure unit of an injection molding machine has a fixed mold mounting plate, a moveable mold mounting plate, and at least one mounting element for mounting the fixed mold mounting plate to a machine frame. The at least one mounting element upon accelerations and decelerations of the moveable mold mounting plate to reach the closed position allows such movements of the fixed mold mounting plate relative to the machine frame that rotations and/or movements transversely relative to a machine axis of the fixed mold mounting plate relative to the moveable mold mounting plate are substantially prevented.
Abstract:
A vertically closing closure unit for an injection molding machine includes a moveable mold mounting plate, and at least one frame bar for guiding the moveable mold mounting plate. A restraint device locks the moveable mold mounting plate to the at least one frame bar.
Abstract:
An operating unit has an operating program and a touch-sensitive display screen on which display fields and/or navigation fields can be represented. Upon actuation of the operating fields, operating signals can be sent by a control or regulating device to injection molding machine elements. Upon actuation of the navigation fields, pages of the operating program can be called up. At least one operating group contains the operating fields but no navigation fields, and/or navigation groups contain the navigation fields but no operating fields. At least one passive field in the form of rows and/or columns contains neither operating fields nor navigational fields. The least one operating group and/or the navigation groups are arranged in rows and/or columns, and the at least one passive field is arranged between the navigation groups and/or the at least one operating group.
Abstract:
A method for determining positions of a real moulding material front during a process to be carried out with a moulding machine, wherein
a simulation progression (SV) of a variable characteristic of the process is calculated, positions of a simulated moulding material front are determined from the simulation, the real process is carried out, and at least one measurement progression (MV) of the at least one characteristic variable is measured directly or indirectly, a transformation is chosen, which has at least one parameter (ΔV, kp, Vunknown), the transformation is applied to the at least one simulation progression (SV), with the result that a transformed simulation progression (tSV) is formed, and a parameter value is determined for the parameter (ΔV, kp, Vunknown) such that a deviation between the measurement progression (MV) and the transformed simulation progression (tSV) is minimized according to a predetermined error measure or according to an operator input.
Abstract:
A molding method produces a molded part from a polymer starting material in a molding machine, in particular an injection-molding machine. In the method, the polymer starting material is plasticized and/or fused, and at least one monomer in the gaseous state is supplied to the polymer starting material.
Abstract:
Filter device for a molding machine with at least one filter element for filtering plasticized material, in particular plasticized plastic, wherein, in a fluidically parallel arrangement relative to the at least one filter element, at least one valve element is provided, which is formed to prevent the plasticized material from flowing through the at least one valve element during an injection process in a closed position and to allow the plasticized material to flow through the at least one valve element in an open position, in order to make it possible to relieve the pressure on the at least one filter element after the injection process.
Abstract:
A method includes determining the value of a plurality of selected process variables. Preferably, the respective current value of each selected process variable or a variable derived therefrom is compared with one or more reference values, and in each case at least one deviation or at least one rate of change is determined. On the basis of the determined plurality of deviations and/or rates of change, a stability of a current process state is determined. A computing unit visualizes a process states determined for different points in time and/or cycles by a chart such that a trajectory of the stability of process states for a predetermined period of time and/or over multiple cycles is visible in the chart. The computing unit visualizes a reference that, at a certain point in time, at least one factor was existing which is relevant for an evaluation of the result of the stability's trajectory.
Abstract:
An arrangement with a first clamping unit including a first fixed platen and a first movable platen movable relative thereto, a first clamping force mechanism to apply a clamping force to the first movable platen, and a control or regulating unit for controlling or regulating the first clamping force mechanism. Arranged next to and/or above the first clamping unit is a second clamping unit including a second fixed platen or the first fixed platen and a second movable platen movable relative thereto and which are suitable for carrying at least one mold, and a second clamping force mechanism to apply a clamping force to the second movable platen. The control or regulating unit can actuate the first clamping force mechanism and the second clamping force mechanism to apply a clamping force synchronously when all platens present jointly carry a mold.
