Abstract

Abstract A metering system of an injection molding machine which uses a numerical control unit (10), having a torque limit function, in order to control a rotating speed and a back pressure of a screw (1) in accordance with a screw position. The numerical control unit (10) reads out, from a non-volatile memory (14), a screw rotating speed command value and a torque limit value in accordance with a screw position detected by an encoder (P1), and outputs the readout screw rotating speed command value and torque limit value to a second servo motor (M2), which rotates the screw (1), and to a first servo motor (M1), which drives the screw (1) in the axial direction, respectively.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 192 words
A metering system of an injection molding machine, including a numerical control unit comprising: a first servo motor for diving a screw of the injection molding machine in an axial direction a second servo motor for rotating said screw; position detecting means for detecting a position of said screw; and memory means for storing a screw rotating speed command value and a torgure limit value in correspondence with a screw position, said numerical control unit having a torque limit function, said numercal control unit, during a metering process, reading out the screw rotating speed command value and the torque limit value from said memory means in accordance with the screw position detected by said position detecting means, and outputing the the readout screw rotating speed command value to said second servo motor and the readout torque limit command value to said first servo motor, thereby controlling a rotating speed of said screw in accordance with the screw position, and controlling an output torque of said first servo motor to a value below the readout torque limit command value for controlling a back pressure of said screw in accordance with said screw position.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 192 words
A metering system of an injection molding machine, including a numerical control unit comprising: a first servo motor for diving a screw of the injection molding machine in an axial direction a second servo motor for rotating said screw; position detecting means for detecting a position of said screw; and memory means for storing a screw rotating speed command value and a torgure limit value in correspondence with a screw position, said numerical control unit having a torque limit function, said numercal control unit, during a metering process, reading out the screw rotating speed command value and the torque limit value from said memory means in accordance with the screw position detected by said position detecting means, and outputing the the readout screw rotating speed command value to said second servo motor and the readout torque limit command value to said first servo motor, thereby controlling a rotating speed of said screw in accordance with the screw position, and controlling an output torque of said first servo motor to a value below the readout torque limit command value for controlling a back pressure of said screw in accordance with said screw position.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 89 words
A system according to claim 1, wherein said memory means stores the screw rotating speed command values and torque limit values corresponding to respective ones of a plurality of set screw position regions, and wherein said numerical control unit includes position discriminating means for discriminating one of the set screw position regions in which a screw position detected by said position detecting means falls, and reads out a screw rotating speed command value and a torque limit value corresponding to the discriminated screw position region from said memory means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 36 words
A system according to claim 2, wherein at least some of the torque limit values stored in said memory means corresponding to the respective set screw position regions are set to be different from each other.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 38 words
A system according to claim 2, wherein at least some of the screw rotating speed command values stored in said memory means corresponding to the respective set screw position regions are set to be different from each other.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 36 words
A system according to claim 4, wherein at least some of the torque limit values stored in said memory means corresponding to the respective set screw position regions are set to be different from each other.
