  • Patent number: 11673306
    Abstract: When an injection molding machine performs molding, the mold clamping force on the mold is adjusted on the basis of a mold displacement of the mold or the injection peak pressure and injection foremost position so that the molding is performed without causing flash and by an appropriate mold clamping force with which energy can be reduced. The amount of mold displacement and also the injection peak pressure and the injection foremost position are monitored during automatic operation. If there occurs no mold displacement change exceeding a threshold or if there occurs no injection peak pressure anomaly or injection foremost position anomaly exceeding thresholds, the automatic operation is continued. If the mold displacement change occurs or if the injection peak pressure anomaly and the injection foremost position anomaly occur, the operation of the injection molding machine is stopped.

  • Patent number: 7914716
    Abstract: A measurement control method uses an ending target position Xes calculated by adding a prescribed length Ls to a measurement ending position Xe. A rotation rate pattern Ar for rotating a screw 2, a back pressure Ps in relation to the screw 2, and a retraction rate pattern Ab for the screw 2 to retract, are set in advance. The remaining rotation rate pattern Ar to stop the rotation of the screw 2 at the ending target position Xes from the detected screw position X, is calculated at the time of measurement, and the rotation of the screw 2 is stopped based on the calculation. Further, the remaining retraction rate pattern Ab is calculated from the detected retraction rate Vd, and the retraction of the screw 2 is stopped based on the calculation. The result is the stopping of the screw at the measurement ending position Xe.
