The present disclosure prevents load from being produced in an injection molding machine. The control device for an injection molding machine according to one embodiment of the present disclosure has a determining part that is configured to determine, based on information detected in accordance with a movement of a measurement motor provided in the injection molding machine, whether or not an operation of removing or attaching a screw that rotates in accordance with the measurement motor has been performed.

An information processing device includes: a display control unit that displays on a display device an input screen for inputting information related to a quality of a molding product manufactured by an injection molding machine; a receiving unit that receives an operation performed on the input screen; and a generation unit that generates the information related to the quality of the molding product according to the operation received by the receiving unit, in which the input screen is a screen that includes a predetermined item, which is the information related to the quality of the molding product and that displays a content for each item in a graph, and on the input screen, the content displayed in the graph is changed according to the operation received by the receiving unit.

A display device of an injection molding machine includes a circuit configured to display a guidance screen that assists in providing conditions of an injection process. The injection process sequentially includes a filling process of controlling a travel speed of an injection member, a stopping process of stopping travel of the injection member, and a dwelling process of controlling a pressure applied from the injection member to a molding material. The guidance screen includes a first input field configured to receive an input of conditions upon completion of the filling process in a first test molding. In the first test molding, the filling process is performed under the conditions input to the first input field and subsequently the stopping process is performed, and then the dwelling process is performed under conditions that enable confirming a forward flow end position of the molding material upon completion of the stopping process.

A display device with a touch panel and a controller having a computer function to display various kinds of screens on a display surface of the display. The controller includes a multiple screen display processing function part wherein at least two independent screen display parts are displayed side by side, a screen switch processing function part to enable switching of a touched screen to the other screen by a touch/slide operation on the screen, and a switch key display processing function part by which a key display part is arranged on the display surface in an area other than the screen display parts. A plurality of switch keys are arranged and displayed in the key display part according to a key pattern corresponding to the order of the screens switched by a touch/slide operation so as to enable selection of the screens to display by a touch operation.

A molding monitoring apparatus acquires an image of a molding molded by an injection molding machine, determines whether abnormality is present in the molding, and specifies an abnormality occurrence position thereof when the abnormality is present. Further, the molding monitoring apparatus calculates the number of abnormality occurrences for each abnormality occurrence position, and compares, among the calculated number of abnormality occurrences for each abnormality occurrence position, the number of abnormality occurrences for each abnormality occurrence position in a certain term with the number of abnormality occurrences for each abnormality occurrence position in another term.

An injection molding machine management system includes an injection molding machine, a take-out robot, an inspection device, a memory, and a processor. The processor is configured to receive physical information of the injection molding machine and a mold, and an inspection result of a molded product. The received physical information includes an identification information of the mold and the injection molding machine, a shot number of injection molding with respect to the mold, an injection filling time with respect to the mold, an injection pressure, a mold clamping force, and a set temperature of each part of the injection molding machine. The received physical information and the inspection result are displayed on a display. Necessity of maintenance is notified to an operator based on a predetermined maintenance period of time, the received physical information, and/or the inspection result.
