An injection molding apparatus includes a support that supports a molding die including an upper die and a lower die, and an injection unit that injects a molding material toward a cavity defined by the upper die and the lower die. In the state in which the molding die is supported by the support, the injection unit, the upper die, and the lower die are arranged sequentially from above in the vertical direction. The injection unit includes a rotating flat screw having a groove forming surface in which a groove is formed, a barrel having a flat screw facing surface facing the groove forming surface and having a communication hole into which the molding material flows, and a heater that heats a material supplied to the space between the groove forming surface and the flat screw facing surface, plasticizes at least part of the material through the rotation of the flat screw and the heat produced by the heater to produce the molding material, and delivers the molding material to the communication hole.

The present invention relates to a control method for a high-speed fluid injection system and a system configured for implementing the control method. Similarly, the invention has a monitoring system for the system configured for implementing the control method. In particular, the present invention allows automatically, precisely, and continuously controlling the amount of fluid injected or applied to a plurality of parts.

A numerical controller instructs a robot or an automated machine (external device), in relation to a main task for which a retrying operation thereof has occurred, to execute, instead of or in addition to the main task, a sorting task to distinguish an exception molded product, which was produced from a time when a determination result became successful, and until a physical quantity to be measured lies within a management range, or until a stand-by time elapses, from a normal molded product produced before the occurrence of the retrying operation.
