20090169674 | Injection Molding Machine - The injection molding machine has a fixed platen and a movable platen for fixing a pair of molds; a pair of clamp plates mounted to the fixed platen and the movable platen, respectively, and having a fixation surface for mold fixation, respectively; and magnetic force generation mechanisms for generating a magnetic force for fixing the molds to the fixation surfaces, and, an air-gap formation means for automatically forming air-gaps between the fixation surfaces and the molds in association with the movement start of the movable platen while the magnetic force generation mechanisms are inactivated for detaching the molds from the fixation surfaces is provided at least in one of the clamp plates. | 07-02-2009 |
20090232613 | Machine Tool Spindle Balancer - Provided is a machine tool spindle balancer that stably pulls and biases the spindle unit upward and thus reduces the load of the lift means for moving the spindle unit vertically, is easily applicable to existing machine tools, highly durable, downsizable, and has a simple structure advantageous in production cost. | 09-17-2009 |
20100013583 | MAGNETIC FIXING DEVICE - The magnetic fixing device comprises a clamping plate having a fixing surface to which a clamping object is fixed and plural magnetic force generation mechanisms. The magnetic force generation mechanisms each comprise a magnetic material member facing the fixing surface, plural permanent magnets arranged around the outer periphery of the magnetic material member, a first Alnico magnet placed on the back of the magnetic material member, and a first coil for switching the polarity of the first Alnico magnet, and can be switched between the absorption state in which the clamping object is adsorbed and the non-absorption state in which the clamping object is not adsorbed. An operation state indication mechanism capable of presenting an indicator indicating that the plural magnetic force generation mechanisms are in the absorption state or in the non-absorption state is provided on the fixing surface or outer periphery of the clamping plate. | 01-21-2010 |
20100038179 | Lubrication structure for gas spring - A lubricating oil received in a portion of a lower end side in a cylinder body is reliably supplied to a rod member and a sealing member to reliably lubricate a sliding part between the sealing member and the rod member by use of a pressure change of compressed gas in a gas spring with the rod member disposed in a posture of protruding it upward from a rod-side end wall of the cylinder body. In the lubricating structure of a gas spring, a pair of check valves preventing a back flow of a lubricating oil from the lubricating oil outlet side to the lubricating oil inlet side are provided in series in a lubricating oil passage connecting the lubricating oil inlet and the lubricating oil outlet, and the lubricating oil is introduced from the lubricating oil inlet into the lubricating oil passage and lubricating oil is discharged from the lubricating oil outlet by use of a pressure change of the compressed gas to supply it to the rod member. | 02-18-2010 |
20100092587 | MOLD FIXING SYSTEM - Each of a plurality of injection molding machines is provided with clamp plates fixed on platens and a plurality of magnet units to generate magnetic force for fixing a mold to the clamp plate fitted on the clamp plates; and the plurality of injection molding machines are provided with a plurality of common connectors having the same structure, each of which is electrically connected to the magnetic unit, a molding machine control unit and a power source device; and the mold fixing system comprises a set of operation control units to be shared by the plurality of injection molding machines, and when a mold is to be exchanged in any of the injection molding machines, the plurality of magnet units are switched to the non-adsorbing state or the adsorbing state via the operation control unit in the state where the operation control unit is connected to the common connector of the injection molding machine. | 04-15-2010 |
20100096032 | COUPLING DEVICE - A coupling device which contributes to a further reduction in the space required to transport a die etc., in which first and second joints are simplified in structure and downsized, and that is advantageous when multiple sets of such first and second joints are installed. The coupling device comprises a female joint and a male joint. The female joint is fitted on a mold and comprises a first valve casing, a first valve body, and a first open/close valve having a first valve seat and a first valve portion. The male joint is fitted on a clamping plate of an injection molding machine and comprises a second valve casing, a second valve body, and a second open/close valve having a second valve seat and a second valve portion. The coupling device further comprises a valve body drive unit. When, in a condition where the front ends of the first and second valve casings and are in contact with each other, the valve body drive unit drives and advances, in the male joint, only the second valve body relative to the second valve casing, the first and second valve bodies and are driven to the valve opening side. | 04-22-2010 |
