Abstract

A production plant includes an injection unit suitable for forming processes, and the injection unit includes a barrel and an injection actuator, a hydraulic system for moving the injection actuator, an safety device configured to output an access signal when access detecting a person accessing the production plant and/or a possibility of a person accessing the production plant, and an electronic control unit to operate the hydraulic system in a production mode and in a safety mode. The control unit is configured to switch from the production mode to the safety mode when the access safety device outputs the access signal, and is configured to operate the hydraulic system in the safety mode such that the hydraulic system at least partially, preferably completely, counteracts an axial movement of the injection actuator caused directly or indirectly by an action of a molding compound present in the barrel on the injection actuator.
