Abstract
A mold clamping device of an injection molding machine includes a mold clamping shaft fixed to a movable platen, a mold clamping ram to press the mold clamping shaft against a fixed platen, a ram position detecting member that detects a position of the mold clamping ram, an encoder detecting a position of the movable platen, a ram position control member that hydraulically controls a position of the mold clamping ram, a storage unit storing a difference value of mold closing positions of the movable platen before and after mold replacement, and a control unit. The control unit calculates the difference value when mold thickness adjustment is performed, calculates a movement position of the mold clamping ram based on a current position of the mold clamping ram and the difference value, moves the mold clamping ram to the movement position, and stops the mold clamping ram to perform mold clamping.
