There is disclosed a method () of operating a molding system (), the method () executable by a controller () of the molding system (). The method comprises appreciating () a plurality of operational parameters associated with the molding system (); based on at least a sub-set of the plurality of operational parameters, generating () a machine performance index, the machine performance index being a single value representative of the at least a sub-set of the plurality of operational parameters and being instrumental in enabling an operator of the molding system () to appreciate an economic productivity factor associated therewith; causing () the machine performance index to be displayed on an interface of the controller ().

Method and system for generating, processing and displaying an indicator of performance of an injection molding machine

An extruder unit () for an injection molding system () includes a piston (), slidably located within a piston chamber (), and is movable between a retracted position and an extended position. The piston () is further adapted to rotatably mount a screw (). A motor assembly () is mounted to the piston housing () and operable to rotate the screw (). The piston () is translated by a hybrid injection actuator (), the hybrid injection actuator () including: a drive unit () operable to move the piston () between the retracted position and the extended position; and a gas pressure unit (), operable to provide a boosting force to the piston (), thereby urging the piston () towards the extended position.
