Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A molding method for the production of articles molded by injecting plastic material into a mold cavity by a plurality of injectors electrically sequentially actuated under an electronic control according to a cycle providing for a step for filling the mold cavity, followed by a step for packing the plastic material in the mold cavity. Each injector, regardless of both its position with respect to the mold cavity and its opening speed, is controlled in at least one of the following control modes: i) partially closing the injector from a maximum open condition to a less opened condition in the filling step, ii) setting the injector in a partially open condition and then opening the injector to a more opened condition, in the packing step.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A molding method for the production of articles molded by injecting plastic material into a mold cavity by a plurality of injectors electrically sequentially actuated under an electronic control according to a cycle providing for each of the plurality of injectors a step of filling the mold cavity with the plastic material, in which the injector is opened from a fully closed condition to a maximum open condition, followed by a step of packing the plastic material in the mold cavity in which the injector is maintained in an open condition and then again closed to the fully closed condition, wherein the injector, regardless of both its position with respect to the mold cavity and its opening speed, is controlled in at least one of the following control modes: partially closing the injector from said maximum open condition to a less opened condition in the filling step, setting the injector in a partially open condition and then opening the injector to a more opened condition, in the packing step. 2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the injector is controlled in both of said modes. 3 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein said less opened condition of the injector in the filling step corresponds to said partially open condition in the packing step. 4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein during the sequential injection performed by said plurality of injectors the control mode in the filling step provides the partial closing to said less opened condition of each injector when a subsequent injector is being opened towards said maximum open condition. 5 . A molding apparatus for the production of articles molded through sequential injection of plastic material, comprising a mold having a cavity, a plurality of injectors electrically actuated by an electronic controller configured to carry out for each injector a step for filling the mold cavity with the plastic material, in which the injector is opened from a fully closed condition to a maximum open condition, followed by a step for packing the plastic material in the mold cavity in which the injector is maintained in an open condition and then again closed to the fully closed condition, wherein said electronic controller is configured so that the injector, regardless of both its position with respect to the mold cavity and its opening speed, is controlled in at least one of the following control modes: partially closing the injector from said maximum open condition to a less opened condition in the filling step, setting the injector in a partially open condition and then opening the injector to a more opened condition, in the packing step. 6 . The apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein each injector includes a pin valve axially displaceable by a respective electrical actuator.
