Molded product take-out apparatus

A molded product take-out apparatus comprising:

• a controller is configured to control following parts of peripheral equipment separated from a molding machine, and including an input/output section to which an operator can input production start time and a reference timer indicating present time;
• a take-out robot including an effector for a take out and a release operation of a molded product from a mold in the molding machine by a command from the controller;
• a material dryer configured to dry a material for supplied to the molding machine and started at a first timer value of a first timer;
• a temperature controller regulating the temperature of the mold and started at a second timer value of a second timer;
• a material conveyor supplies a reference supply amount of the dried material to a hopper of the molding machine;
• and
• the take-out robot, the temperature controller, the material dryer, the material conveyor, and the controller are network-connected, and
• wherein the controller is configured to send a request signal for detection data to the material dryer, receive the detection data from the material dryer, and send the command to the take-out robot and is configured to control, based on the detection data from the material dryer,
• the release operation of the take-out robot to differentiate a release place between when judging the detection data is within an allowable range and when judging the detection data is outside the allowable range, and
• the controller is configured to control, based on signals from the material dryer and the temperature controller, start operations of the material conveyor and the take-out robot.
