Abstract

An injection molding apparatus and method are provided in which the rate of material flow during an injection cycle is controlled. According to one preferred embodiment, an injection molding apparatus is provided that includes a manifold (231), at least one injection nozzle (215) coupled to the manifold, an actuator, and a valve pin (200) adapted to reciprocate through the manifold and the injection nozzle.
The valve pin (200) has a first end coupled to the actuator, a second end that closes the gate (211) in a forward position, and a control surface (205) intermediate said first and second ends for adjusting the rate of material flow during an injection cycle. Retracting the valve pin tends to decrease the rate of material flow during the injection cycle and displacing the valve pin toward the gate (211) tends to increase the rate of material flow during the injection cycle.

Claims (9)

1. An injection molding apparatus comprising:
a manifold to direct material into a mold cavity;

a valve pin adapted to reciprocate through the manifold toward and away from the mold cavity, wherein valve pin contacts material injected into the mold cavity; and a controller to control a flow rate of material injected into the first cavity during an injection cycle based on a force exerted on the valve pin by the material.
2. The injection molding apparatus of claim 1, wherein adjusting a position of the valve pin changes the flow rate, and the controller adjusts the position of the valve pin to control the flow rate.
3. The injection molding apparatus of claim 2, wherein the controller adjusts the position of the valve pin according to a target profile, wherein the target profile represents target values of the force of the material exerted on the valve pin.
4. The injection molding apparatus of claim 1, further- comprising a load cell mounted to a rearward end of the valve pin to sense the force exerted on the valve pin by the material.
5. The injection molding apparatus of claim 1, further comprising an actuator to which the valve pin is coupled, the actuator including first and second chambers, and first and second pressure transducers coupled to the first and second chambers, respectively, the first and second pressure transducers to sense the force exerted on the valve pin by the material.
6. The injection molding apparatus of claim 5, wherein adjusting a position of the valve pin changes the flow rate, and the controller adjusts the position of the valve pin to control the flow rate according to a differential pressure sensed by the first and second pressure transducers.
7. The injection molding apparatus of claim 6, wherein the controller adjusts the position of the valve pin according to a target profile, wherein the target profile represents target values of the differential pressure.
8. The injection molding apparatus of claim 1, wherein the valve pin closes the gate.
9. The injection molding apparatus of claim 1, wherein the manifold injects material through a plurality of gates, each gate having a valve pin associated therewith to independently control a rate at which material flows through each gate during an injection cycle, wherein adjusting a position of each valve pin changes the rate for each gate, the controller controlling the position of each valve pin during an injection cycle according to individualized target profiles associated with each gate, wlierein each target profile represents target values of a sensed condition for each gate related to the flow rate of material injected through each gate during the injection cycle, the sensed condition for each gate being force exerted on the valve pin for that gate by the material.
