Abstract
An automatic lubricator for an injection molding machine, capable of performing proper lubrication in accordance with operation environment of the injection molding machine. A lubrication interval Ls is controlled according to length of cycle time S of the injection molding machine so that the lubrication interval Ls is increased when the cycle time S is long and it is decreased when the cycle time S is short. Further, when a ball screw temperature t1 is high the lubrication interval Ls is accordingly decreased by &Dgr;DL, and when the ball screw temperature t1 is low the lubrication interval Ls is accordingly increased by &Dgr;DL. Also, when the ambient temperature t2 is high the operation time Tp of a lubricating pump,is decreased, and when the ambient temperature t2 is low the operation time Tp is increased to stabilize the lubrication quantity.
