Abstract:
An apparatus for taking out a molded product, which comprises a retaining mechanism until for retaining a molded product and a moving mechanism unit for moving the retaining mechanism unit and wherein the retaining mechanism unit penetrates between die halves from a specified waiting position after die opening to take out the molded product and the molded product is liberated at a specified retrieving position which is located outside the die halves, the apparatus further comprising:time measuring means for measuring return time in a preceding process, the return time elapsing between a start of returning operation in which the retaining mechanism unit returns to the waiting position form the retrieving position and the next start of penetrating operation in which the retaining mechanism unit penetrates between die halves from the waiting position to take out the molded product; arithmetic means for calculating a return moving speed distribution for a process succeeding the preceding process wherein the returning operation is completed upon elapse of the return time measured by the time measuring means; and controlling means for activating the moving mechanism unit wherein the returning operation is carried out in the succeeding process according to the return moving speed distribution.
