A system for programming a protection device for a molding machine includes a controller for actuating a plurality of molding machine actuators in an actuation sequence, each distinct actuation constituting a respective machine component actuation of an associated machine component. An HMI is operable to: present a GUI specific to a chosen machine component actuation; and for each of a plurality of other machine component actuations, define within the GUI, based on operator input, a rule specifying a state of the chosen machine component actuation relative to a state of the other machine component actuation for preventing interference between the two machine component actuations. The controller is configured, based on the rules defined within the GUI, to trigger an action, upon violation of any one of the rules, for reducing a risk of interference between the chosen machine component actuation and a respective one of the other machine component actuations.

Programming a protection device for a molding machine

There is disclosed a method () of ejecting a molded article () from an injection mold (). The method () comprises: during a second portion of the mold opening cycle of the injection mold (), the second portion occurring later in time relative to a first portion of the mold opening cycle of the injection mold (): controlling velocity of at least one of: (i) the moveable mold half () relative to the stationary mold half (), (ii) the ejector () relative to the moveable mold half (); and (iii) an ejector actuator linked to the core insert (); and (iv) a stripper actuator that is linked to the stripper sleeve (); the controlling executed such that the molded article () is ejected from the molding component with a substantially zero departure-velocity along the first axis of operation.
