Apparatus for taking out molded product

An apparatus for taking out a molded product, comprising:

• a positioning servomechanism using a motor;
• one or more approach frames controlled by the positioning servomechanism and each having an attachment mounted at a leading end thereof;
• and
• an active vibration suppressing system including one or more actuators and configured to perform active control to suppress a displacement vibration of the attachment mounted on each of the one or more approach frames by causing the one or more actuators to apply to the attachment a vibration having an antiphase to the displacement vibration of the attachment, wherein:
• the one or more actuators are one or more electromagnetic actuators;
• and
• the one or more electromagnetic actuators are mounted to the attachment mounted on each of the one or more approach frames or each of the one or more approach frames such that the one or more electromagnetic actuators do not collide with one or more molding dies of a molding machine, wherein:
• the active vibration suppressing system further comprises:
• a displacement vibration detecting section operable to output a displacement vibration detection signal proportional to a displacement vibration of the attachment and capable of outputting the displacement vibration detection signal without using a sensor to be inserted into the molding die;
• an additional vibration detecting section operable to output an additional vibration detection signal proportional to an additional vibration generated by the one or more electromagnetic actuators;
• and
• a drive signal generating section operable to generate a drive signal required for active control of the one or more electromagnetic actuators so as to suppress the displacement vibration of the attachment mounted on each of the one or more approach frames, based on the displacement vibration detection signal and the additional vibration detection signal.
