Abstract
A molding system for assembling a part by moving a workpiece gripped by a hand of a robot toward a mold of an injection molding machine, while rotating a molded article supported on the mold and the workpiece relative to each other, whereby the molded article and the workpiece are screw-engaged. The molding system includes a rotation detector for detecting a rotational amount between the molded article and the workpiece, an assembled state judging unit for judging if the assembled part is in a predetermined state, and a control unit for relatively rotating and displacing the molded article and the workpiece until the rotational amount exceeds a predetermined rotational amount and the assembled state becomes the predetermined state.
Claims5
A molding system for assembling a part by displacing a workpiece, which is gripped by a hand of a robot, toward a mold of an injection molding machine, while rotating the workpiece and a molded article, which is supported on the mold, relative to each other, whereby the molded article and the workpiece are screw-engaged with each other, the molding system comprising:
- a rotation detector configured to detect a relative rotational amount between the molded article and the workpiece;
- an assembled state judging unit configured to judge whether an assembled state of the assembled part corresponds to a predetermined state or not;
- and
- a control unit configured to relatively rotate and displace the molded article and the workpiece until the rotational amount detected by the rotation detector exceeds a predetermined rotational amount and until the assembled state determined by the assembled state judging unit becomes the predetermined state.
