CONTROLLER FOR INJECTION MOLDING MACHINE, INJECTION MOLDING MACHINE, AND CONTROL METHOD FOR INJECTION MOLDING MACHINE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18443558 titled 'CONTROLLER FOR INJECTION MOLDING MACHINE, INJECTION MOLDING MACHINE, AND CONTROL METHOD FOR INJECTION MOLDING MACHINE
The abstract describes a controller for an injection molding machine that is capable of handling molding materials containing bioplastics. The controller controls the forward travel speed of the injecting member to ensure that the pressure applied to the molding material does not exceed a set upper limit.
- The controller is designed to regulate the forward travel speed of the injecting member to prevent the pressure from exceeding a specified upper limit.
- The forward travel speed of the injecting member can be set between 550 mm/s and 700 mm/s during filling.
- The upper limit of the pressure applied to the molding material can be set at 200 MPa or higher.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in the manufacturing of bioplastic-containing products in the injection molding industry. - It can improve the quality and consistency of molded products by controlling the pressure applied during the molding process.
Problems Solved: - Prevents excessive pressure on bioplastic-containing molding materials, reducing the risk of defects or damage during the molding process. - Ensures the quality and integrity of molded products by maintaining optimal pressure levels.
Benefits: - Enhanced control over the molding process, leading to higher quality finished products. - Increased efficiency and reliability in the production of bioplastic-containing molded items.
Commercial Applications: - "Controller for Injection Molding Machine with Bioplastic Materials": This technology can be utilized by manufacturers in various industries, such as automotive, packaging, and consumer goods, to produce high-quality bioplastic-containing products efficiently.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the controller prevent the pressure from exceeding the upper limit during the molding process? 2. What are the advantages of using bioplastics in injection molding applications?
Frequently Updated Research: - Stay updated on the latest advancements in bioplastic materials and their applications in injection molding processes to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of manufacturing practices.
Original Abstract Submitted
A controller is for an injection molding machine including an injecting member configured to push a molding material in a forward direction, the molding material containing a bioplastic; and an injection drive source configured to cause the injecting member to travel forward or backward. The controller is configured to perform filling in which a forward travel speed of the injecting member is controlled so that an actual value of a pressure applied from the injecting member to the molding material does not exceed an upper limit of the pressure. In at least a part of the filling, a value of from 550 mm/s through 700 mm/s is settable as a set value of the forward travel speed of the injecting member, and a value of 200 MPa or higher is settable as the upper limit of the pressure.
