Abstract
An injection molding machine includes a screw inserted in an injection cylinder and configured to be movable in an axial direction of the screw, a motor configured to move the screw, a torque detection unit configured to detect a torque of the motor, a position detection unit configured to detect a position of the screw, a motor drive control unit configured to drive the motor to thereby advance the screw to a foremost position in a direction of injection, a processor, and a memory. The processor and memory are configured to determine that unmelted resin remains inside the injection cylinder if the torque of the motor becomes equal to or greater than a limit torque while the screw is advancing to the foremost position.
