A space-saving pressure sensor for a metal or plastics processing tool is configured to perform date stamping during injection molding with the processing tool. The pressure sensor is configured to be inserted into a single drilled hole of the tool. A first cast-compatible mark and a second cast-compatible mark of the pressure sensor may be adjusted against one another in such a way that a variety of different date marks can be created, which may then be applied to different injection-molded products. The pressure sensor may be used within the framework of manufacturing an injection-molded product.

Provided is a die casting machine and die casting machine control method that are able to change the operation of a plunger at an appropriate timing. A die casting machine operates a plunger such that the plunger moves forward, detects that molten metal extruded from a sleeve by the forward movement of the plunger has arrived at a cavity, determines a deceleration starting position and a intensification starting position for changing the operation of the plunger, using, as a reference (reference position Ls), the position of the plunger 15 at the time when it is detected that molten metal has arrived at the cavity, and, when the plunger moves to the deceleration starting position and intensification starting position, changes the operation of the plunger to operations corresponding to the respective positions.

An injection device of light metal injection molding machine and an injection control method thereof are provided, in which a melt in a supply unit is supplied into an injection unit through a communication passage, a plunger of the injection unit is retracted to measure the melt, the communication passage is closed, and the plunger is advanced to inject the melt into a mold device through an injection nozzle of the injection unit. After the injection and before the measurement, the plunger is advanced under a pressure at which the melt does not come out from the injection nozzle to make the melt in the injection unit flow back into the supply unit through the opened communication passage.

A display operation device with which it is possible to effectively increase the accuracy of an operation input to an operation switch when a function allocated to the operation switch cannot be recognized; and a molding machine that is with the device. This display operation device for an injection molding machine has a display unit and a simple display unit having a simpler configuration than the display unit. The display operation device displays a selected function group on the simple display unit even when a function label that indicates the functions allocated to a plurality of operation switches is not being displayed due to the fact that the display function of the display unit has been stopped.
