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 remote controller can be provided on any apparatus that employs feedback control from a native controller to add functionality to the apparatus where the native controller is not capable of providing such functionality independently.

The present invention provides a molding machine that can easily detect viscosity of resin in a cylinder without advance preparations. An injection molding machine (10) includes an ultrasonic viscosity sensor (20), and the ultrasonic viscosity sensor (20) includes an ultrasonic vibration portion in contact with resin filled in a cylinder (12).

A cylinder that kneads an injection material, a heat insulating cover that covers a side surface of the cylinder, the heat insulating cover including a first end portion and a second end portion, a heater arranged between the heat insulating cover and the cylinder, the heater heating a first region of the cylinder, and a first heat pipe that thermally connects the first region and a second region to each other, the second region being different from the first region, are provided. The heat insulating cover includes the first end portion and the second end portion through which the injection material passes, and the first region is closer to a midpoint between the first end portion and the second end portion than the second region.
