A control device of an injection molding machine which injects a molten resin from an injection nozzle is provided with a display section in which a touch panel is disposed, and a human-machine interface section equipped with a general-purpose operating system, and the human-machine interface section is provided with at least a storage section to store set values which are various molding conditions for each mold article and a control section which controls the display of the display section. The interface section displays, on the display section, a main screen to change settings for the molding conditions stored in the storage section and a subscreen to display indications such as monitors, and also constantly displays a change switch for a change of the screen in a fixed region of the display section.

Control device for use in injection molding machine

In an injection molding machine configured to extrude a melted resin under temperature control and inject the resin into metal molds to provide a molded product, there are provided an HMI section having a built-in general-purpose operating system and configured to control a display section equipped with a touch panel, control modules, such as a main control section, a sequence processing section and a servo command section, having a dedicated microprocessor for each control element of the injection molding machine, and a driver section having servo amplifiers, hydraulic drivers, and so on, configured to be controlled by the control modules and to drive-control an actuator of the injection molding machine, in which, by variously combining together the control modules, it is possible to provide various kinds of injection molding machines, that is, an electric operation type, a hydraulic type and a hybrid type of these combination.

A barrel has an injection nozzle at the forward end, and an injection screw inside, and heaters in the outer circumference. The barrel injects the molten resin from the injection nozzle at the forward end by the rotation of the injection screw. In the barrel, the temperatures of each parts are controlled by a temperature control section. A controller sets a shift minus temperature to uniformly lower the temperature of the parts, and a shift absolute temperature to lower the temperatures of the parts to a predetermined temperature. An operation panel section selects the shift minus temperature or shift absolute temperature to lower the temperatures of the parts. The temperature control section lowers the temperatures of the parts of the barrel by using the temperature selected when the injection molding machine is temporarily stopped.
