Abstract: An injection molding machine includes a storage unit in which input information input via an operation unit and a molding condition under which molding is performed using a gain specified by the input information are stored in association with each other, and a control unit configured to generate a signal with a feedback-control, which uses a difference between a set value used to control an object to be controlled and an actual value measured from the object to be controlled and the gain specified by the input information associated with the molding condition, and to control a drive source using the signal to perform the molding, in a case where the molding indicated by the molding condition is performed.

Abstract: A method of detecting and compensating for a non-operational mold cavity in an injection molding apparatus having a plurality of mold cavities and an injection molding screw or ram includes injecting, via the injection molding screw or ram, a molten thermoplastic material into the plurality of mold cavities. The method includes measuring a first process parameter of the injection molding apparatus at a pre-determined time during or after the injecting. The method also includes determining, based on the first process parameter, whether one or more mold cavities of the plurality of mold cavities are non-operational. Then, when it is determined that one or more mold cavities are non-operational, the method includes automatically adjusting the first process parameter or a second process parameter of the injection molding apparatus.

Abstract: A method for monitoring a device for supplying temperature control media to a mold of a molding machine, wherein the device has a feed line and a return line between which a temperature control line is arranged, a measuring element arranged in each of the temperature control lines actually to be monitored, and a control element arranged in each temperature control line to be regulated or to be controlled. A pressure drop in the temperature control line is measured, a hydraulic resistance and/or a change in resistance of the temperature control line is calculated based on an a volumetric flow rate measured using the measuring element and based on the measured pressure drop. The degree of opening of the control element is taken into consideration in the calculation of the hydraulic resistance and/or the change in resistance.

Abstract: The invention relates to a material conveying device for feeding at least one injection molding and/or extrusion unit with a non-free-flowing or viscous feed material, having a feed hopper rotatable relative to a bracket about an axis of rotation and a screw conveyor arranged rotatably along an inner jacket surface of the feed hopper in a screw shaft of the bracket, which is designed to convey the feed material from the feed hopper to an outlet, wherein the screw shaft is connected to a hopper outlet of the feed hopper, and wherein the screw conveyor is drivable via at least one drive device.
In order to enable the conveying of feed materials with different properties in the simplest possible way, it is provided that at least one media feed channel opens into the screw shaft, which is designed to feed at least one additional medium to the feed material, wherein at least one mixing device is arranged in the region of the screw conveyor and/or downstream of the screw conveyor, which is designed to mix the feed material and the additional medium.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for determining mold designs, polymer formulations, and processing parameters for forming a thermoplastic foam with desired cellular structure and mechanical and physical properties. In one example, the system includes a plaque mold and a plurality of interchangeable mold cavities including one pair of mold cavities used to form a solid polymer sample and two or more pairs of mold cavities for forming thermoplastic foam samples. The mold cavities include a plurality of sensors to determine pressures and temperature at various locations within the mold cavities. Samples are compared and determinations are made based on the comparison and evaluation of data regarding mold designs, formulations, and/or processing parameters. Optionally, the methods and system disclosed herein can use a venting system and collection system to collect any outcoming gases to determine the solubility of specific polymer-gas combinations to further determine mold designs, formulations, and/or processing parameters.
