Abstract
An apparatus for manufacturing a thermoplastic resin material, including: a mold for molding a base material containing a thermoplastic resin into a predetermined shape; and a transfer mechanism that places the base material in the mold, wherein the transfer mechanism includes a detection mechanism that detects a state of the base material, and a controlling unit that controls operation of the mold and the transfer mechanism.
Claims5
An apparatus for manufacturing a thermoplastic resin material, comprising:
- a mold for molding a base material containing a thermoplastic resin into a predetermined shape;
- a transfer mechanism that places the base material in the mold, and
- a pedestal on which the base material is placed, wherein
- the transfer mechanism includes
- a detection mechanism that detects a state of the base material, and
- a controlling unit that controls operation of the mold and the transfer mechanism, and
- the detection mechanism is an imaging camera, and includes a gravity-center detection mechanism, and
- the gravity-center detection mechanism detects a position of a center of gravity of the base material defined within its planar shape based on an image of the planar shape of the base material.
