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.

Provided are a basic data input unit to input basic data including molding conditions data related to molding conditions and screw data related to the form of the screw; a calculation formula data setting unit to set solid phase rate calculation formula data to calculate the solid phase rate of the molten resin in a heating cylinder based on this basic data; a calculation processing function unit having a solid phase rate calculation processing unit to use calculation processing based on the basic data and the solid phase rate calculation formula data to calculate an estimated solid phase rate of the molten resin at the measurement completion; and an output processing function unit that performs display processing to display information related to the estimated solid phase rate on a display.

A method for evaluating and/or visualizing a process state of a production system, which contains at least one cyclically operating shaping machine, includes: continuously or at discrete times, determining the value of a plurality of selected process variables, and comparing the current value of each selected process variable and or a variable derived therefrom with one or more reference values by means a computing unit, and determining a deviation or a rate of change. Each selected process variable is assigned to at least one logical group by the computing unit; at least two different logical groups are provided; and for each logical group, a state of the logical group is evaluated by the computing unit based on the process variables assigned to the logical group and/or is visualized by a display device.

A display unit of an injection molding machine that displays an order of operations of elements operating during clamp close or open of the injection molding machine, the display unit including a condition setting unit that sets a start condition of the operation; a group setting unit that sets the elements operating in conjunction with each other to be associated with the same group, based on the set start conditions; an order setting unit that sets the order of the operations of the elements associated with the same group, based on the set start conditions; and a display control unit that controls a display unit to display a field showing the group, and to display symbols indicating the operations of the elements associated with the groups in the fields, to show a before and after relationship in accordance with the set order of the operations.

A display device causes a display unit to display a first graph showing the temporal change of a feature value of a physical quantity measured in each molding cycle of an injection molding machine and a second graph showing the temporal change of events that occurred in the injection molding machine, with the time axes of the first graph and the second graph being defined in the same direction on the same scale, based on cycle information indicating the molding cycle in which the feature value was measured and occurrence period information indicating the occurrence time period of the events.

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 system includes: an injection molding machine; a screen setting storage unit provided in the injection molding machine and storing a setting state of the injection molding machine; an operation limiting unit provided in the injection molding machine and limiting operation of the injection molding machine; and a management unit including a storage unit that stores a list of a correct combination of screen settings and limiting operation of the injection molding machine, a confirmation unit that compares information of the screen setting storage unit and information of the storage unit to confirm a propriety of a combination of the screen settings of the injection molding machine, and a limiting operation determination unit that determines a limiting operation upon receiving a result confirmed by the confirmation unit to issue an operation limiting command to the operation limiting unit.

An injection molding machine according to the present invention is a machine tool that includes a measurement unit that measures a predetermined measured value; a calculation unit that calculates attitude accuracy information about the injection molding machine based on the measured value measured by the measurement unit; and a display that displays the attitude accuracy information calculated by the calculation unit together with an overhead view of the injection molding machine.
