Abstract
A mold protecting system for an injection molding machine includes a voltage source, a controller, a first mold, a second mold, a fixed platen, and a movable platen. The first mold is fixed to the movable platen. The second mold is fixed to the fixed platen. The controller from the voltage source to charge the first and second molds, and detects the capacitance between the first and second molds when the distance between the first and second molds equals a pre-set value. If the capacitance between the first and second molds is greater than a reference value, the controller controls the movable platen to stop moving.
Claims9
A mold protecting system for an injection molding machine, comprising:
- a movable platen;
- a fixed platen;
- a first mold fixed to the movable platen;
- a second mold fixed to the fixed platen, and facing the first mold;
- a voltage source;
- and
- a controller being connected to the voltage source and the first and second molds, to charge the first and second molds;
- wherein the controller detects capacitance between the first and second molds upon the condition that a distance between the first and second molds equals a pre-set value;
- the controller controls the movable platen to stop moving upon the condition that the capacitance between the first and second molds is greater than a reference value.
A mold protecting method applied to a mold protecting system, the method comprising:
- providing the mold protecting system comprising:
- a movable platen;
- a fixed platen;
- a first mold fixed to the movable platen;
- a second mold fixed to the fixed platen, and facing the first mold;
- a voltage source;
- and
- a controller
- controlling voltage from the voltage source to charge the first and second molds;
- controlling the movable platen towards the fixed platen until the distance between the first and second molds equals a pre-set value;
- detecting a capacitance between the first and second molds;
- determining if the capacitance between the first and second molds equals a reference value;
- controlling the movable platen to stop moving upon the condition that the capacitance between the first and second molds is greater than the reference value;
- and
- controlling the movable platen towards the fixed platen upon the condition that the capacitance between the first and second molds equals the reference value.
