In a display control device, a first display control unit displays values of a plurality of molding conditions in a first display area, on the basis of layout information including a display size and a display position of the plurality of molding conditions. A data setting unit sets as molding data the values of the plurality of molding conditions that are displayed in the first display area. On the basis of the layout information, and in the same layout as that of the first display area, a second display control unit displays for inspection in a second display area the values of the plurality of molding conditions based on the molding data which are stored in a storage unit.

An additive feeder system is presented which is operable for use in a plastic injection molding machine including an injection component and a clamping component. The additive feeder system includes a feeder control unit, a feeder supply mechanism and feeder dosage control mechanism. The additive feeder system is operable to provide a specific dosage of the additive materiel in real-time for mixing with the raw material to achieve desired product characteristics. The additive feeder system may be applied to injection molding and extrusion, such as molding processes, plastic molding processes, blow molding, compression molding, extrusion molding, injection molding and laminating, and comprising additive feeders, for example for color mixing and nutrient supplements.

The present invention is to provide a display device for an injection molding machine capable of displaying a screen image to be a display candidate without imposing a burden on an operator. A display device for an injection molding machine includes a display part capable of displaying a predetermined screen image and capable of displaying a candidate for a next screen image to transition to as a display candidate. The display device for the injection molding machine includes an operation information acquisition part configured to acquire, as operation information, operations performed related to a predetermined screen image being displayed, a totalizing part configured to totalize the operations related to the predetermined screen image being displayed on the basis of the acquired operation information, a display candidate determination part configured to determine the candidate for the screen image to be the display candidate on the basis of a totalized result, and a display control part configured to display not only the predetermined screen image but also the determined display candidate on the display part.

An injection molding machine includes: a controller configured to instruct an operation indicated by first or second operation information associated with at least either first or second image information displayed on a display, or to execute processing by a system program, wherein the first and second operation information is information about an injection molding operation according to a first or second production condition, and operation information about first and second molds or operation information about a mold clamping mechanism from beginning to completion of the injection molding operation, the display displays a plurality of operating points indicating positions of the first mold, the second mold or the mold clamping mechanism relative to time or process from the beginning of the injection molding operation, and line segments connecting the plurality of operating points, and the first and second image information are displayed on the operating points.

An apparatus or system and method or process for displaying tool or die data or other tool or processing information on a display window of a webpage. A method for displaying tool data from a reciprocating tool includes positioning a monitor with respect to the reciprocating tool and the monitor recording data from the reciprocating tool. The data is communicated and then stored in a remote data storage location as stored tool data. The stored tool data is processed and then displayed, for example in the window of the webpage.

In order to calculate a ball screw abrasion amount of an injection-axis ball screw or a mold-clamping-axis ball screw, a position of a ball nut fitted to the ball screw is photographed by a camera installed in an injection molding machine. Then, if the photographed position of the ball nut is found, as a result of analysis of an image captured by the camera, to be deviated from the position of the ball nut when a ball screw has no abrasion, it is determined that the ball screw is abraded.

A protective cover for a plasticizing cylinder of a shaping machine has an elongate internal space which is enclosed by at least one wall and in which the plasticizing cylinder can be arranged. A terminal box for heating strips arranged on the plasticizing cylinder projects into the elongate internal space, and the at least one wall has an opening which is closed by an openable cover member. In an opened condition of the openable cover member, the opening allows access to the terminal box or the interior of the terminal box.

A display device and a display system of an injection molding machine, capable of automatically displaying a window highly relevant to a window being displayed on a main screen on a sub-screen are provided.

A display device of an injection molding machine, capable of displaying two or more windows includes: a display unit having at least a main display unit and a sub-display unit; an input unit that receives an input related to selection of a window to be displayed on the display unit; and a display control unit that selectively controls the window to be displayed on the display unit based on the input to the input unit, wherein the display control unit switches a window to be displayed on the main display unit based on the input to the input unit and displays a window displayed in the past on the main display unit on the sub-display unit.

An injection molding task based navigation system for a computer user interface, wherein the navigation system automatically presents the user with a set of tasks that can be performed based on the system state(s) of the injection molding apparatus, the user class (e.g., level or credentials) and the device by which the user has gained access to the navigation system.
