Abstract
Disclosed is a drive unit, in particular for an injection unit or an ejector of an injection molding machine, comprising a stroke spindle device with a spindle and a spindle nut, and a prestressing device for prestressing the spindle that is dischargeable in a displacement phase of the stroke spindle device and is chargeable when the spindle is driven in the opposite direction, wherein the stroke spindle device and the prestressing device are supported by the same component, and wherein a load measuring device is provided for measuring the load acting on the spindle, which senses the forces acting on the component.
Claims6
A drive unit for an injection unit or an ejector of an injection molding machine, comprising a stroke spindle device with a spindle and a spindle nut, and a prestressing device provided for prestressing the spindle which is dis-chargeable in a displacement phase of the stroke spindle device in which the spindle is driven in a first direction and is chargeable when the spindle is driven in a second direction that is opposite the first direction, wherein each of said stroke spindle device and said prestressing device is directly or indirectly supported by a common component, and wherein the component is supported by a stationary frame via a load cell which is provided as a load measuring device that measures the load acting on said spindle and acting on said component.
A drive unit for an injection unit or an ejector of an injection molding machine, comprising:
- a stroke spindle device having a spindle nut and a spindle, the spindle being drivable in (i) a first direction during a displacement phase of the stroke spindle device, and (ii) a second, opposite direction;
- a prestressing device cooperating with and prestressing the stroke spindle, the prestressing device being (i) dis-chargeable when the spindle is driven in the first direction during the displacement phase of the stroke spindle device, and (ii) chargeable when the spindle is driven in the second direction;
- a common component supporting each of the stroke spindle device and the prestressing device;
- a stationary frame;
- and
- a load cell extending between the common component and the stationary frame and measuring the load acting on the spindle and forces acting on the common component.
