Abstract
A lubricant such as grease is supplied by a grease supply device to a grease supply point of an injection molding machine. A workload of a movable portion forming the injection molding machine when the movable portion operates is calculated and a grease supply command is output to the grease supply device when the calculated workload exceeds a reference value. An operating state of the injection molding machine is evaluated by using the workload reflecting a load on the movable portion and, in this way, insufficiency of lubrication of the movable portion is anticipated.
