Abstract
Abstract An apparatus for supervising an injection stroke of an injection machine of the type wherein injection parameters are detected at a number of points in a filling stroke, and detected parameters are sequentially sampled at a plurality of points over the entire filling stroke, the filling stroke is divided into a plurality of regions, and the injection parameters measured in respective divided regions are judged as to whether the parameters can produce satisfactory products or not. Such parameters are used as reference values and sequentially sampled parameters are subtracted by the reference values. The differences are accumulated for respective regions and when accumulated differences exceed predetermined permissible values an alarm signal is issued.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
155 words
An apparatus for supervising an injection machine comprising: a plurality of injection parameter detectors mounted on various protions of said injection machine for detecting respective machine speed or pressure parameters; means for selecting one of the parameters detected by a said detector; means for sampling said selected parameter at least once in each of a plurality of regions of an injection stroke of said injection machine; means for storing a reference value for each of said regions corresponding to a value of said selected parameter for said region which yields a satisfactory product; means for subtracting said reference value from a corresponding sampled parameter value for each one of said regions; means for accumulating differences obtained by said substracting means for each of said regions; means for setting permissible values for respective regions; and means for issuing an alarm signal when values obtained by said accumulating means exceed a permissible value for a said region.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
155 words
An apparatus for supervising an injection machine comprising: a plurality of injection parameter detectors mounted on various protions of said injection machine for detecting respective machine speed or pressure parameters; means for selecting one of the parameters detected by a said detector; means for sampling said selected parameter at least once in each of a plurality of regions of an injection stroke of said injection machine; means for storing a reference value for each of said regions corresponding to a value of said selected parameter for said region which yields a satisfactory product; means for subtracting said reference value from a corresponding sampled parameter value for each one of said regions; means for accumulating differences obtained by said substracting means for each of said regions; means for setting permissible values for respective regions; and means for issuing an alarm signal when values obtained by said accumulating means exceed a permissible value for a said region.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
82 words
The apparatus according to claim 1 further comprising: data transfer means connected between said subtracting means and said accumulating means; calculating means, which in response to the number of said regions, and number of samplings, calculates a filling time so as to determine a period and number of samplings corresponding to said filling time, said calculating means producing a transfer signal representing said period and number of samplings thus determined; and, means for applying said transfer signal to said data transfer means.
