Abstract: In a method for determining at least part of a path (12) for connecting at least one starting point (14) to at least one finishing point (16) in a space (R) for at least one autonavigation of at least one movable component through the space on a machine (100), at least one model of the movable component and the machine is provided, information on the geometry is gathered, current positions are determined and these are brought into relation with one another to create a graph (10). An algorithm is used to calculate the path (12), collision-free autonavigation along the path (12) being carried out after a collision check has been performed. This assists the operator in adapting the machine cycle, while likewise bringing about an improvement in terms of the travel path, cycle time, reliability of the process, energy and wear.

Abstract: Component manufacturing methods and systems and methods are provided for six degree of freedom control of a component prior to molding. A method involves obtaining measurement data from a measurement device indicative of a measured orientation of a component mounted to a surface of a tool associated with a molding assembly, determining an orientation adjustment based on a relationship between the measured orientation of the component and a reference orientation associated with the molding assembly, determining an actuation command for operating an actuation arrangement coupled to the tool based at least in part on the orientation adjustment, and providing the actuation command to the actuation arrangement to actuate the tool to rotate the surface in accordance with the orientation adjustment prior to forming a molding compound on an exposed surface of the component using the molding assembly.

Abstract: A monitoring apparatus for molds includes a control unit connectable to a first and second sensor associable with the mold and configured for emitting respective signals representative of a deformation parameter and temperature parameter of the mold. The control unit, in order to define an alert condition, is configured for: defining a value of a threshold parameter as a function of the temperature of the mold and comparing such value of the deformation parameter with a value of a threshold parameter defined as a function of the temperature of the mold; or normalizing, at a reference temperature, the value of the deformation parameter determined at the temperature of the mold and comparing a value of a threshold parameter, defined at the reference temperature, with the value of the normalized deformation parameter at the same reference temperature. Also forming the object of the present invention is a monitoring method and a data medium.

Abstract: A portable molding system is configured for forming insulation on pipes. A set of transportable process modules are configured to be shipped to a molding site, operatively connected together at the molding site to form a site-installed molding system, and subsequently disconnected for transport to another site. The set of transportable process modules includes one or more resin preparation modules configured to prepare resin for being formed into insulation on the pipes. One or more mold modules are configured to define a mold cavity. The one or more mold modules are configured to hold a pipe in the mold cavity, to receive resin prepared by the one or more resin preparation modules in the mold cavity around the pipe, and to form said resin received in the mold cavity into insulation on the pipe.

Abstract: A moving-body monitoring device has a position detection unit that outputs positional information of a moving body, a proximity sensor that detects the moving body, a first storage unit that stores a position when the moving body having moved in a first direction is detected as first positional information, and stores a position when the moving body having moved in a second direction is detected as second positional information, and a calculation unit that calculates a fixed-point position of a detecting region of the proximity sensor during monitoring as fixed-point positional information based on the first and second positional information. The device also has a second storage unit that stores reference fixed-point positional information, and a monitoring unit that, when a deviation between the fixed-point and reference fixed-point positional information goes beyond a stipulated range, determines that a positional deviation amount of the moving body exceeds a tolerance.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing hollow articles made of injection moulded plastic material by a mould having a die within which there is inserted a core, and at least one injector including a pin valve displaceable between a closing position and an opening position for injecting the pressurized plastic material into a space comprised between the die and the core. During the injection, any flexural deflection of the core is detected and the pin valve of the or of each injector is displaced in a controlled fashion to adjust a pressure and a flow rate of the injected plastic material, so as to reduce or eliminate such deflection of the core.

Abstract: A plasticizing device includes a plasticizing cylinder and a plasticizing screw arranged in the plasticizing cylinder. The plasticizing screw is rotatable about, and linearly movable along, a longitudinal axis. The plasticizing screw comprises a functioning section. A sensor is arranged in or on the plasticizing cylinder, and a distance to the surface of the functioning section of the plasticizing screw can be measured by the sensor. A detecting device can detect a type of the functioning section and/or an operating state of the functioning section, can detect a distance signal progression by a movement of the functioning section relative to the sensor, can compare the detected distance signal progression with a stored distance signal progression, and can issue a signal representing the type of functioning section and/or the operating state of the functioning section depending on a matching of the detected distance signal progression with a stored distance signal progression.

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.
