Abstract
An operating unit for a molding machine includes a support, a screen part mounted pivotable on the support, and an operating part mounted pivotable on the screen part and/or the support. The pivotability of the screen part and the operating part results in different use positions for an operator. The operating part is motion-coupled to the screen part and/or to the support by a mechanism and/or a drive unit at least in areas such that a first relative angle between the support and the screen part determines a second relative angle between the screen part and the operating part.
Claims19
An operating unit for a molding machine comprising:
- a support;
- a screen part mounted pivotable on the support;
- and
- an operating part mounted pivotable on at least one of the screen part and the support,
- wherein the screen part and the operating part are configured to be pivotable relative to each other and fixed in any one of a plurality of different use positions for an operator, and
- wherein the operating part is motion-coupled to at least one of the screen part and the support by at least one of a mechanism and a drive unit such that a first relative angle between the support and the screen part determines a second relative angle between the screen part and the operating part
- wherein the support:
- is mounted rigid on the molding machine;
- or
- is connected to the molding machine via a bearing element configured to allow a movement of the support relative to the molding machine.
An injection-molding machine comprising:
- an operating unit including:
- a support;
- a screen part mounted pivotable on the support;
- and
- an operating part mounted pivotable on at least one of the screen part and the support,
- wherein the screen part and the operating part are configured to be pivotable relative to each other and fixed in any one of a plurality of different use positions for an operator, and
- wherein the operating part is motion-coupled to at least one of the screen part and the support by at least one of a mechanism and a drive unit such that a first relative angle between the support and the screen part determines a second relative angle between the screen part and the operating part.
