A display unit displays a display screen including information on injection molding, and the display screen displays a setting screen portion that displays setting contents of the injection molding and a power screen portion that displays information on power consumption of the injection molding based on the setting contents together.

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.

A method for monitoring a device for supplying temperature control media to a mold of a molding machine, wherein the device has a feed line and a return line between which a temperature control line is arranged, a measuring element arranged in each of the temperature control lines actually to be monitored, and a control element arranged in each temperature control line to be regulated or to be controlled. A pressure drop in the temperature control line is measured, a hydraulic resistance and/or a change in resistance of the temperature control line is calculated based on an a volumetric flow rate measured using the measuring element and based on the measured pressure drop. The degree of opening of the control element is taken into consideration in the calculation of the hydraulic resistance and/or the change in resistance.

A plastic injection-moulding machine includes an injection unit for processing a plastic mass to be moulded, and a closing unit having an injection-moulding tool having at least one cavity, into which the plastic mass processed by the injection unit is injected to produce a moulded part. A machine controller controls the injection unit and the closing unit, and a user interface device, which has at least one input means and at least one output means. The at least one output means is designed as a screen. At least one camera is provided to record a region of the plastic injection-moulding machine lying behind the user interface device, with the machine controller being designed to display the region recorded by the camera on the screen.

An operating unit has an operating program and a touch-sensitive display screen on which display fields and/or navigation fields can be represented. Upon actuation of the operating fields, operating signals can be sent by a control or regulating device to injection molding machine elements. Upon actuation of the navigation fields, pages of the operating program can be called up. At least one operating group contains the operating fields but no navigation fields, and/or navigation groups contain the navigation fields but no operating fields. At least one passive field in the form of rows and/or columns contains neither operating fields nor navigational fields. The least one operating group and/or the navigation groups is arranged in rows and/or columns, and the at least one passive field is arranged between the navigation groups and/or the at least one operating group.

An injection molding machine includes an injection member that pushes a molding material and an injection drive source that moves the injection member. A control device of the injection molding machine includes an injection control unit that controls a stop process for stopping a movement of the injection member and a holding pressure process for controlling a pressure acting on the molding material from the injection member, a pressure monitoring unit that monitors an actual value of the pressure in the stop process, and a timing setting unit that sets a timing when the stop process is to be switched to the holding pressure process on the basis of the actual value of the pressure in the stop process and a value offset from a set value of the pressure at a time of start of the holding pressure process to a high pressure side by a predetermined amount.

A management device is for an injection molding machine configured to repeatedly perform a shot that is a series of operations for producing a molded product in a mold part. The management device includes processing circuitry configured to: repeatedly obtain a numerical value of a physical quantity of at least an object that is withdrawn from an interior of the mold part to an exterior thereof or that is fed from the exterior of the mold part to the interior thereof, the numerical value of the physical quantity being measured externally of the mold part; and record the numerical value in association with identification data of the shot.

An injection molding machine includes a cylinder configured to heat a molding material including bioplastics and a rotating member provided in the cylinder. The molding material is fed from upstream to downstream along a helical groove formed in the rotating member by the rotating member being rotated. The rotating member includes a first region and a second region downstream of the first region. The first region and the second region are different in shape, dimensions, or both. A retention time of the molding material in the first region is longer than in a case in which the first region has the same shape and the same dimensions as in the second region.

A die casting machine includes a plurality of ejector pins capable of advancing and retracting together with respect to the internal portion of a die; an electric motor capable of driving the plurality of ejector pins; a position sensor capable of detecting the positions of the plurality of ejector pins; a force sensor capable of detecting the pressure which is given to the molding material inside the die by the plurality of ejector pins; a display device capable of displaying images, and a control device controlling the electric motor and display device. The control device includes a drive control part which controls the electric motor so as to generate a driving force making the plurality of ejector pins advance to the inside of the die after the start of injection and before die opening, and a display control part which controls the display device so as to display the position detected by a position sensor and the pressure detected by a force sensor along a common time axis.

Provided is an injection molding machine management system that includes an injection molding machine and manages one or a plurality of injection molding units that produce a molded article. The injection molding machine management system includes a display unit configured to display a display screen on which operation information on an operation status of the injection molding unit and at least one of container shortage information on a shortage of a container that accommodates the molded article and material shortage information on a shortage of a material for molding the molded article are displayed on an injection molding unit basis. The container shortage information is displayed on the display screen in association with the operation information when the container is insufficient in the injection molding unit, and the material shortage information is displayed on the display screen in association with the operation information when the material is insufficient in the injection molding unit.
