An injection molding apparatus comprising: a pneumatically driven actuator having a piston mounted within a fluid sealed chamber for slidable axial movement along or against an interior surface of the fluid sealed chamber via a non-elastomeric engagement or with a non-elastomeric material disposed between the piston and the interior surface of the fluid sealed chamber, the piston forming first and second drive chambers within the fluid sealed chamber, each drive chamber having respective fluid flow ports, a source of pressurized gas that generates gas flow at a selected maximum pressure or flow rate, a gas metering mechanism, a controller interconnected to the gas metering mechanism, the controller controllably moving the gas metering mechanism to selectable positions that correspond to reduced pressures or reduced flow rates during the course of pin travel from the fully downstream gate closed position to the fully upstream gate open position.

The resin molding device comprises: a lower mold on which a substrate is placed; an upper mold in which a cavity is formed by a side block and a cavity block provided so as to be capable of rising and descending vertically with respect to the side block; a clamp mechanism for clamping the lower mold and the upper mold; a transfer mechanism that supplies a resin material to the cavity by means of a plunger; and a controller that uses the relationship between the position of the plunger and a resin filling rate for the cavity calculated on the basis of the volume of a chip arranged on the substrate and the volume of the resin material when performing filling rate correspondence control for controlling operation relating to resin molding triggered as a result of the plunger arriving at a position corresponding to a predetermined resin filling rate.

Performance of an injection molding machine is improved. The injection molding machine includes: a central controller centrally controlling an injection molding operation; a first injection apparatus performing an injecting operation of material, based on a first injection start signal output from the central controller; a second injection apparatus performing an injecting operation of material, based on a second injection start signal output from the central controller; and a mold clamping apparatus performing a mold clamping apparatus. The injection molding machine is configured to adjust a time difference between a first injection start timing of the material injected from the first injection apparatus and a second injection start timing of the material injected from the second injection apparatus.
