Abstract
A method including a first step of performing clamping of a mold, injection and dwelling in an injection molding machine, a second step of performing a conveyance and a cooling of the mold outside of the machine, and a third step of performing a conveyance of the mold into the machine, an opening of the mold and an ejection of a molded part in the machine. The second step is performed for a first mold, the third step and the next first step are performed for a second mold. The first mold is conveyed by a first conveyance apparatus which is arranged on one lateral side of the machine. The second mold is conveyed by a second conveyance apparatus which is arranged on the other lateral side and is independently driven from the first conveyance apparatus.
Claims13
A method of manufacturing a molded part by one injection molding machine while alternating two molds, the method comprising:
- a first step of performing clamping of a mold, injection and dwelling in the injection molding machine;
- a second step of, after the first step, performing a conveyance of the mold outside of the injection molding machine and a cooling of the mold outside of the injection molding machine;
- and
- a third step of, after the second step, performing a conveyance of the mold into the injection molding machine, an opening of the mold and an ejection of a molded part in the injection molding machine,
- wherein the first to third steps are repeatedly performed,
- while the second step is performed for a first mold, the third step and the next first step are performed for a second mold,
- the first mold is conveyed by a first conveyance apparatus which is arranged on one lateral side of the injection molding machine, and
- the second mold is conveyed by a second conveyance apparatus which is arranged on the other lateral side of the injection molding machine and is independently driven from the first conveyance apparatus.
An injection molding system comprising:
- a horizontal type injection molding machine;
- a first conveyance apparatus for conveying a mold and arranged adjacent to the injection molding machine;
- a second conveying apparatus for conveying a mold and arranged adjacent to the injection molding machine;
- and
- a control apparatus, wherein
- the first conveyance apparatus and the second conveyance apparatus are arranged laterally with respect to the injection molding machine so as to sandwich the injection molding machine,
- the first conveyance apparatus and the second conveyance apparatus are driven independently of each other, and
- the control apparatus performs
- a first step of performing clamping a mold, injection and dwelling in the injection molding machine;
- a second step of, after the first step, performing a conveyance of the mold outside of the injection molding machine by the first conveyance apparatus or the second conveyance apparatus, and a cooling of the mold outside of the injection molding machine;
- and
- a third step of, after the second step, performing a conveyance of the mold into the injection molding machine by the first conveyance apparatus or the second conveyance apparatus, and an opening of the mold, and an ejection of a molded part in the injection molding machine,
- wherein the first to third steps are repeatedly performed, and wherein
- the first conveyance apparatus conveys a first mold,
- the second conveyance apparatus conveys a second mold,
- while the second step is performed for the first mold, the third step and the next first step are performed for the second mold, and
- while the second step is performed for the second mold, the third step and the next first step are performed for the first mold.
