Title: Automated molding technology for thermoplastic injection molding
Inventor: SPEIGHT RUSSELL GORDON
IPC: B29C48/96
Filed: 1999-01-29
Granted: 2007-06-27
Abstract: A method for the automated optimization of an injection molding machine set-up process, the machine for manufacturing injection molded parts and including an injection screw and a configurable injection velocity, the screw having a displacement, comprising the steps of (1) manufacturing one or more parts with the machine, (2) defining as a first pressure the end of velocity control phase pressure and as a second pressure the holding time pressure, (3) defining a linear relationship between packing/holding pressure and time consistent with the first pressure and the second pressure, between the first pressure and the second pressure, (4) defining the packing time as a time of maximum difference between measured melt pressure and the linear relationship, or as the switchover point if measured melt pressure increases after the switchover point, (5) determining a first screw displacement being the minimum displacement of the screw before the packing time within a packing/holding phase and a second screw displacement being the displacement of the screw at the packing time, and (6) calculating the kickback from the difference between the first and second screw displacements, thereby allowing a determination of the kickback from measurements of the screw displacement at packing time.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé permettant de détecter des objets à distance. Chaque objet comprend un capteur comportant au moins deux éléments magnétiques qui sont disposés selon une relation réciproque prédéterminée représentant l'identité du capteur. Des signaux électromagnétiques sont générés afin d'exciter les éléments du capteur et de produire des signaux électromagnétiques de réponse. L'amplitude du signal électromagnétique de réponse provenant de chaque élément de capteur, est modulée à l'aide d'un premier champ magnétique qui possède une composante variant selon la magnitude ainsi qu'une composante ne variant pas selon la magnitude. Un second champ magnétique est ensuite généré, lequel possède un vecteur de champ rotatif. On mesure un décalage de fréquence dans une composante du signal de réponse, ceci lorsqu'une composante ne variant pas selon la magnitude du second champ magnétique vient équilibrer la composante ne variant pas selon la magnitude du premier champ magnétique. L'élément du capteur respectif est alors momentanément exposé au champ magnétique résultant qui ne possède pratiquement aucune composante ne variant pas selon la magnitude. L'orientation de l'élément du capteur respectif est déterminée à partir de l'orientation de la composante ne variant pas selon la magnitude du second champ magnétique lorsque se produit le décalage de fréquence.
