  • Publication number: 20250073971
    Abstract: A molding machine includes: an injection device to inject a molding material into a cavity of a clamped mold; a display device to display information; a memory capable of storing condition data sets that include setting values; and a control device to control the injection device according to one data set preselected from the data sets stored in the memory. The control device selectively executes a selected condition display process of listing the setting values in the selected condition data set on the display device and a stand-by condition display process of listing the setting values in a stand-by condition data set (one of the condition data sets different from the selected condition data set) on the display device, and in the stand-by condition display process, causes the display device to display the setting values identical to and different from those of the selected condition data set in different modes.

  • Publication number: 20250076854
    Abstract: An external signal control device and a molding machine are provided that facilitate setting for connecting again an external device having been connected once. A control unit 7 is used for an injection molding machine. The control unit 7 has an optional output signal port OP1 to be connected to an external device, a storage device 73 to store control information of the optional output signal port OP1, and a control device 78. The control information includes signal port use information and output condition information. If the signal port use information is ON, the control device 78 controls the optional output signal port OP1 based on the output condition information, and if the signal port use information is OFF, controls the optional output signal port OP1 so as to cause the optional output signal port OP1 to not function.
