Abstract: A control system for controlling the display of an injection molding machine (IMM) includes a human machine interface (HMI), a driver, a controller, a timer, and a time display module. The controller controls the driver to drive the IMM to do a plurality of operations. The time display module controls the HMI to display working times of operations that have been done, and the working time of an operation that is in process in the current work cycle. The timer records working time of each operation by starting to time at the beginning of each operation, and stopping timing at the end of each operation.

Abstract: A detecting apparatus and method for detecting deformation of a fixed mold plate of an injection molding machine. The apparatus includes a mounting member and an elastic member that is received in the through hole of the mounting member and generally positioned at the center thereof. The apparatus also has a contacting member that is received in the through hole and positioned near or at the first end surface, and a sliding member that is slidably received in the through hole near or at the second end surface. A blocking member is attached to the second end surface of the mounting member. A pressure sensor is fixed between the blocking member and the contacting member.

Abstract: A method for setting action steps of a mold core, used in a mold core control system, the method comprising confirmation of the mold core for use. If mold cores are to be used, the number thereof is set. The control system implements action timing settings for every mold core, based on individual requirements. The new settings are confirmed, and if accepted, YES is entered and the action steps of the mold core are complete, and if not, NO is entered, and confirmation of the mold core for use is repeated.
