  • Publication number: 20160004339
    Abstract: A programmable display device includes a display unit, a coordinate input unit, a display processing unit, an operation processing unit, a control unit, and a switching unit switching between validation and invalidation of operation by screen gesture. The display screen includes a screen-gesture applicable area in which display content can be changed and a screen-gesture non-applicable area in which display content cannot be changed. When an operation by the screen gesture is invalid, the switching unit validates an operation on the operation object in the screen-gesture applicable area and the screen-gesture non-applicable area, and, when an operation by the screen gesture is valid, the switching unit invalidates an operation on the operation object in the screen-gesture applicable area and validates the screen gesture. When an operation by the screen gesture is valid, the display processing unit performs predetermined display in the screen-gesture applicable area.

  • Publication number: 20130135331
    Abstract: To execute a stable pressure control, in a control device for an injection molding machine, a filling/pressure-keeping determining unit determines whether the injection molding machine is performing a pressure keeping operation, an elastic constant identifier acquires, when the filling/pressure-keeping determining unit determines that the pressure keeping operation is in progress, a pressure detection value and a position detection value as operation information of a motor and identifies an elastic constant K based on the acquired pressure detection value and the position detection value, and a pressure-control control-parameter setting unit calculates a proportional gain Ka of a pressure controller such that a product of the proportional gain Ka of the pressure controller and the elastic constant K is smaller than a speed control bandwidth ?sc of a speed controller, and sets the calculated proportional gain Ka to the pressure controller.
