Abstract
A method of classifying a temperature control branch of a molding tool includes producing molded parts in cycles by a portion of the molding tool by introducing heat into the molding tool, and/or cyclically activating a heating device, with introduction of heat into the molding tool, conveying temperature control medium through the temperature control branch of the molding tool to dissipate the introduced heat, measuring a temporal branch temperature profile of the temperature control medium in the temperature control branch over several production cycles, analyzing a curve behavior of the branch temperature profile and/or of a variable derived from the branch temperature profile, in particular of a branch heat flow, over several production cycles, and sorting the temperature control branch into one of at least two categories, according to greater and/or smaller influence on the heat budget of the portion of the molding tool, on the basis of the curve behavior.
