In a method for determining at least part of a path (12) for connecting at least one starting point (14) to at least one finishing point (16) in a space (R) for at least one autonavigation of at least one movable component through the space on a machine (100), at least one model of the movable component and the machine is provided, information on the geometry is gathered, current positions are determined and these are brought into relation with one another to create a graph (10). An algorithm is used to calculate the path (12), collision-free autonavigation along the path (12) being carried out after a collision check has been performed. This assists the operator in adapting the machine cycle, while likewise bringing about an improvement in terms of the travel path, cycle time, reliability of the process, energy and wear.
The invention relates to a rinsing station and a method using at least one movable discharge unit for a device (1) for producing a three-dimensional object from a material which can be solidified in a construction area, said material being discharged out of the discharge unit in a rinsing process. The at least one discharge unit (2) used in the process comprises a discharge nozzle (12) and is moved into a rinsing position in order for the discharge nozzle (12) to be rinsed, and the discharge nozzle (12) of the discharge unit is placed on a closure component (10), which has at least one opening (11), of a disposal container (6). Fluid material which can be solidified is then discharged from the discharge unit (2) into the disposal container (6). The discharge nozzle (12) together with the discharge unit (2) is then separated from the closure component (10) of the disposal container (6), and the discharge unit (2) is then moved into a working position. In this manner, the production process is optimized and an optimal material quality is constantly provided at the outlet of the discharge unit while the service life of system-critical components is simultaneously increased.
The invention relates to a hydraulic device for supplying a plurality of work units (3a, 3b), in particular on a plastics injection moulding machine, said device comprising at least one controller (7), at least one valve regulator and/or one valve controller and a central drive (1). A regulating valve (13a, 13b) with a regulating-valve geometry is provided on at least one of the work units (3a, 3b). Pressure sensors (8) detect at least one pressure both upstream and downstream of the regulating valve (13a, 13b), the load pressure (10a, 10b) of at least one of the work units (3a, 3b), and the system pressure (9). Since the valve regulator and/or the valve controller has knowledge about the regulating-valve geometry of the at least one regulating valve (13a, 13b) and is designed to derive, from a relationship between the regulating-valve geometry and at least one pressure difference resulting from the pressures detected upstream and downstream of the regulating valve (13a, 13b), at least one volume flow rate actual value per regulating valve (13a, 13b), and the controller (7) is designed to derive, from the volume flow rate setpoint values of the at least one work unit (3a, 3b) and/or the volume flow rate actual values of the at least one regulating valve (13a, 13b), at least one setpoint value feedforward control for the central drive (1) in such a way that the system pressure (9) corresponds at least to the relevant highest load pressure (10a, 10b) of the work units (3a, 3b), the hydraulic device is improved in terms of functionality, energy, efficiency and economy.
The invention relates to an apparatus for adjusting and monitoring a belt tension and/or a belt rigidity of a belt (10) of an injection-moulding system for processing plastics, the apparatus comprising: at least one sensor device (16), which is designed to monitor the belt tension and/or the belt rigidity of the belt (10); and at least one belt tensioning device (18), which is designed to adjust the belt tension and/or the belt rigidity of the belt (10). Since the belt tensioning device is at least part of the sensor device (16), the belt (10) is designed as an upright and continuous belt, and the sensor device (16) is situated at one end in the longitudinal direction of the belt, simple, effective and safe adjustment and monitoring of the belt tension is achieved.
An operating system of a machine controller for an injection molding machine for processing plastics is provided on a target system having a processor. Information about an operating system of a machine controller of an injection molding machine is provided. The operating system can be configured to the characteristics of the injection molding machine by means of configuration data of a first machine configuration. The operating system is installed with all the configuration data as a digital twin, using a hardware-independent app to convert the information for the target system. On the target system, a new setting dataset is created or an existing setting dataset for producing injection-molded parts is changed, the setting dataset being able to run on the injection molding machine. The setting dataset created or changed on the target system is transferred to the injection molding machine and the injection molding machine is operated therewith.
In a mould-closing unit (F) for an injection-moulding machine for processing plastics, at least one mould carrier (10), which can be moved in a longitudinal direction (L-L) of the mould-closing unit (F), is arranged on a machine base (14) and between itself and a further mould carrier (12) forms a mould-clamping space (C), in which parts of at least one cyclically openable and closable injection mould (M) can be received. At least one linear guide (16), arranged in the longitudinal direction (L-L) on the machine base (14), serves for guiding the at least one movable mould carrier (10) when there is movement in the longitudinal direction (L-L). The mould carrier is supported on the machine base (14) and/or the at least one linear guide (16) by way of a load take-up (18), which has above the at least one linear guide (16) an articulating region (20) for the at least one movable mould carrier (10), which region is connected to the movable mould carrier with a force fit or material bonding and the stiffness of which is greater in the longitudinal direction (L-L) than in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction (L-L). The forces acting on the guide of the movable mould carrier during the operation of the injection-moulding machine are minimized by the load take-up (18) and/or the articulating region (20) being elliptical in cross section, with the minor axis of the ellipse extending in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction (L-L) of the mould-closing unit (F).
An injection molding unit for an injection molding machine for processing plastic comprises a carrier block (10) and an exchangeable plasticizing cylinder (14) which is removably receivable in a receiving bore. A locking device (V) is provided for locking and unlocking the plasticizer unit together with the carrier block (10). This occurs by relative movement of bevel surfaces (18a) extending crosswise to the injection axis (a-a) together with operatively connected locking elements (18) which are guided on bearing surfaces. Because a bearing nut (20) is provided on the outer surface (14a) of the plasticizer cylinder (14), the surface of which bearing nut pointing in the direction of the carrier block (10) forms at least one of the bearing surfaces, and a plurality of locking elements (18) are provided which either have bevel surfaces (18a) pointing toward each other, independently of the carrier block (10) and plasticizer cylinder (14), which slide on each other during a locking movement and during an unlocking movement, or have, on the side spaced apart from the bearing surface of the bearing nut (20), mutually inclined bevel surfaces which slide synchronously on bevel surfaces of the carrier block (10) during a locking movement and during an unlocking movement, an injection casting unit is created in which even great forces can be reliably transferred between the plasticizer cylinder and the carrier block and, simultaneously, a low-wear interlock is created in respect of the plasticizer cylinder.
The invention relates to a method that serves to control a machine (10) for processing plastics and other plasticisable materials such as powdered and/or ceramic substances. The machine has a mould opening and closing unit (12) for opening and closing an injection mould (14) having at least one mould cavity (16) for producing an injection moulded part (18) corresponding to the shape of the mould cavity (16), an injection moulding unit (20) having means for plasticising and for injection of the plasticisable material in the mould cavity (16) and has a machine control (22) which is connected to an expert knowledge source (34) and if required can be operated by the operator by means of an interactive contact. Information concerning the geometry of the injection moulded part (18) and/or the mould cavity (16) and the sprue geometry (24) are provided to the machine control (22), in order to calculate at least one injection process taking the geometric information into consideration. Because an injection process is calculated, taking into consideration the geometric information, at least one progressive volume growth profile of the injection moulded part (18) in the filling direction of the mould cavity (16) is calculated, and taking into consideration the progressive volume growth profile at least one injection process is calculated, a simplified, fast and effective parameterisation of the injection moulding machine is made possible, the operator is relieved by the implemented expert knowledge and the quality of the injection moulded part (18) is improved.
A mould-closing unit for an injection moulding machine for processing plastics has a mould support which is movable relative to a stationary mould support (10). A mould-moving device is provided to move the movable mould support into and out of closure of an injection mould. At least one force transmission element is connected to the movable mould support and at its end remote from the movable mould support has a section (14a) which is assigned to the stationary mould support (10) and can be actuated for operative engagement. The stationary mould support (10) is assigned a locking device (15), which can be moved into interlocking operative connection with the actuatable section (14a) to apply a closing force during closure of the injection mould. According to the method, these elements are used to create a method for locking a force transmission element to a mould support of the injection moulding machine. The fact that the locking device (15) has floating clamping jaws (16) which can be moved into interlocking operative connection with the actuatable section (14a) during closure of the mould to lock the force transmission element and the stationary mould support (10) and at the same time are connected to at least one piston (18) of a piston-cylinder unit (17) for applying the closing force, means that a mould-closing unit is created in which the locking mechanism for locking the tie bars to the mould support is integrated in a common unit with the unit for applying the closing force.
By means of the method, an operating system (B) of a machine controller for an injection molding machine (SGM) for processing plastics is provided on a target system (Z) having a processor (P), which target system is independent of the injection molding machine. For this purpose, information about an operating system (B) of a machine controller (MS) of an injection molding machine (SGM) is provided, which operating system can be configured or adapted to the characteristics of the injection molding machine (SGM) by means of configuration data of a first machine configuration (MK1). The operating system (B) is installed with all the configuration data as a digital twin on the target system (Z), using a hardware-independent app to convert the information for the target system. On the target system (Z), a new setting dataset (EDl) is created or an existing setting dataset (EDl) for producing injection-molded parts is changed, the setting dataset being able to run on the injection molding machine (SGM, SGM1). The setting dataset (EDw) created or changed on the target system (Z) is transferred to the injection molding machine (SGM) and the injection molding machine is operated therewith.

The cyclic pressure pulsation is minimized in that, by means of a rotational angle sensor (20), the rotational angle (φ) of the pump (10) and/or of the servomotor (11) is detected and correlated with the cyclic pulsations, and in that, from this, a corrective value or a corrective function is determined and is transmitted to the pressure regulator (13) with control subordinate to the regulation of the pressure setpoint value. Alternatively or in addition, this is achieved in the case of a hydraulic device also in that, as corrective means for the pressure regulation, said means being subordinate to the consideration of the pulsations, the number of components of the pump (10) that result in the cyclic pulsations and the number of components of the servomotor (11) that generate cyclic pulsations are equal, or one is a multiple of the other.

INJECTION-MOULDING UNIT FOR A PLASTICS INJECTION-MOULDING MACHINE
An injection-moulding unit for a plastics injection-moulding machine has a plasticizing unit (12), which can be received in said machine and in which a screw (14) is provided for transporting the plasticizable material in an injecting axis (s-s) into a cavity (15a) of an injection mould (15). An electromechanical metering drive (31) turns the screw (14) when metering the plasticizable material. A number of electromechanical injection motors (50) drive spindle drives (40) for the axial movement of the screw (14) in relation to the plasticizing unit (12) by means of an injection bridge (33) guided movably along guides (21). The spindle drives (40) are assigned at least two injection motors (50), which are in operative connection with the spindle drive directly or via a gear mechanism. The fact that the injection-moulding unit has in the area of movement of the injection bridge a stiffening frame (Q), which comprises bearing elements for the guides (21) that are in a fixed geometrical relationship with the mounting (32) for the screw (14), has the effect of providing an alternative construction of an injection-moulding unit that guides the mechanically unsynchronized spindle drives reliably and uniformly for the introduction of the injection force.
In a method for dispensing a volume flow of successive droplets to produce a three-dimensional product from material which is present in a fluid phase and which can be solidified, the fluid phase of the material is introduced into a material accumulator. A pressure (p) is applied to the fluid phase in order to dispense the material in droplet form from a cyclable outlet opening to construct the three-dimensional product in a construction space. By virtue of the fact that one of the process parameters comprising the pressure (p), a cycle time (tB) or cycle movement (SB) of the outlet opening or the temperature (ϑ) upon a change of the viscosity of the fluid phase of the material is readjusted in a regulated manner, while maintaining the further process parameters, so as to attain a predetermined droplet size, a method is provided for attaining a constant, discontinuous volume flow.

Injection-molding machine having at least two toggle lever mechanisms
An injection-molding machine for processing plastics has, on a mold-closing unit (F), at least one injection mold (10) which can be accommodated between a stationary mold carrier (12) and a movable mold carrier (11). The mold carriers are moved by means of at least one pair of toggle levers with two toggle lever mechanisms (K), which are driven in a closing direction (s-s) independently of one another each by a drive unit (A), wherein the toggle lever mechanisms (K) are mounted on a bearing plate (14). Since the bearing plate (14) is mounted on the injection-molding machine such that it can move along guides (28), and the drive units (A) are mounted on the movable bearing plate (14) on which the actuating elements for the at least two toggle lever mechanisms (K) are mounted, it is possible to influence the parallelism of the mold carriers both in the static and in the dynamic state.
For a hydraulic device for supplying at least one load (30) with hydraulic medium on an injection molding machine for processing plastics, a temperature-control device for the temperature control of the hydraulic medium by means of a temperature-control medium is provided, said temperature-control device having a cooling line (15). The hydraulic medium is pumped to the load through at least one hydraulic line (12, 13) by means of a hydraulic pump (10), which can be temperature-controlled by the temperature-controlled hydraulic medium or by the temperature-control medium. A servomotor (20) for the hydraulic pump (10) is connected to the hydraulic pump (10). The hydraulic line (12') containing the temperature-controlled hydraulic medium and/or the cooling line (15) containing the temperature-control medium is led to said servomotor. Because the hydraulic line (12) and/or the cooling line (15) forms a cooling jacket for the hydraulic pump (10), favorable energy optimization is created for the temperature control of the hydraulic device.

The preload is controlled by means of an actuating unit (SV). By means of the actuator (26) that is actuated by the actuating unit (SV), a characteristic map for the elastic deformation of the closure means (24) is acquired. Within the characteristic map, a resilient working range of the closure means (24) is set by means of the actuating unit (SV). Thus, a method and a device are provided, by means of which the closure means on such an apparatus can be operated as gently and therefore for as long as possible.

An object support (13) for the three-dimensional object (50) to be produced is movably guided on a bearing (40) so as to be mobile relative to the exit opening. According to the invention, the discharge unit (12) and the bearing (40) are non-rotatably connected, and the pressure generating unit (60) connected to the discharge unit (12) is movably mounted relative to the latter connection, thereby allowing the object to be produced with high precision.
