A system for producing at least one particle foam molding includes at least one automatic molding machine, which comprises at least one mold device. The automatic molding machine(s) comprises at least one interface for coupling a functional module which can be functionally assigned to the automatic molding machine(s) in order to form an individually configured automatic molding machine functional module arrangement. The system also includes at least one functional module which can be individually assigned to the automatic molding machine(s) to form an individually configured automatic molding machine functional module arrangement, wherein the functional module(s) comprises at least one interface for coupling to the automatic molding machine(s). Additionally, the system includes a central data processing device(s) which, on the basis of the configuration of the individually configured functional module arrangement, is configured to generate operating information which regulates and/or controls the operation of at least one functional module.
System (1) for producing at least one particle foam molding from an expandable or expanded particle foam material, comprising:
System according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the at least one interface (2.3) of the at least one automatic molding machine (2) is configured as or comprises a connection device for connecting at least one, in particular conduit-like or conduit-shaped, supply device for supplying the at least one automatic molding machine (2) with at least one supply medium, in particular a process fluid, and/or
System according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the at least one interface (2.1) of the at least one automatic molding machine (2) is configured as or comprises a fastening device for fastening, in particular directly, the at least one automatic molding machine (2), in particular a housing-like, rack-like or frame-like structure, of the at least one automatic molding machine (2) to the at least one functional module (3), in particular a housing-, rack- or frame-like structure of the functional module (3);
System according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the at least one interface (2.3) of the at least one automatic molding machine (2) is configured as or comprises a data transmission device for the, in particular direct, transmission of data, in particular corresponding operating information, to the at least one functional module (3), in particular to a data processing device of the at least one functional module (3) which regulates and/or controls the operation of the at least one functional module (3);
System according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the at least one functional module (3) is configured as or comprises a provision device for providing at least one supply medium for the at least one automatic molding machine (2) and/or for at least one further functional module (3).
System according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the at least one functional module (3) is configured as or comprises a provision device for providing electrical energy and/or kinetic energy and/or pneumatic energy and/or thermal energy for the at least one automatic molding machine (2) and/or for at least one further functional module (3).
System according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the at least one functional module (3) is configured as or comprises a power system, in particular a combined heat and power system, for providing electrical energy and/or thermal energy.
System according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the at least one functional module (3) is configured as or comprises a provision device for providing an expandable or expanded particle foam material that can be processed or is to be processed via the at least one automatic molding machine (2).
System according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the at least one functional module (3) is configured as or comprises a treatment device for treatment of a supply medium of the at least one automatic molding machine (2) and/or at least one other functional module (3).
System according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the central data processing device (5) forms part of the at least one automatic molding machine (2).
System according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the central data processing device (5) is configured to generate corresponding operating information based on detection information describing the configuration of the individually configured molding machine functional module arrangement (4).
System according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the central data processing device (5) is configured to generate corresponding operating information on the basis of operating state information describing at least one operating state of the at least one automatic molding machine (2) and/or at least one operating state of the at least one functional module (3) for generating operating information regulating and/or controlling the operation of the at least one functional module (3).
Method of forming an individually configured automatic molding machine functional module arrangement (4) comprising at least one automatic molding machine (2) and at least one functional module (3), characterized by the steps:
