Latest Patents
Sven Mertes holds a patent for a "Detection and removal system for reducing cycle time of an injection molding apparatus." This invention includes various devices designed to reduce injection cycle time. The molded article detection apparatus and method disclosed in the patent determine if an article, or a portion thereof, remains on a machine core pin after the article ejection cycle has occurred. If an article is detected, the system communicates this condition to both the machine controller and the take-out controller. This communication prevents the machine from starting a new cycle, thereby avoiding potential damage to the injection mold. Furthermore, if no articles or portions remain, the injection cycle time is significantly reduced. The patent also describes a variable vacuum pressure apparatus and method that allows for the early removal of molded articles from the molds into a take-out plate while the parts are still warm.
