A control device for an injection molding machine including a cylinder into which a resin is supplied and a screw that moves forward and rearward and rotates inside the cylinder, includes a metering control unit that performs metering of the resin inside the cylinder by controlling forward rotation and rearward movement of the screw until the screw has been moved rearward to a predetermined metering position, based on predetermined metering conditions, a rearward movement speed acquisition unit acquiring a rearward movement speed of the screw, a speed determination unit that determines a suck back speed for causing a resin pressure to reach a target pressure, based on the rearward movement speed acquired during metering by the rearward movement speed acquisition unit, and a suck back control unit causing the screw to move further rearward based on the suck back speed, after the screw has reached the predetermined metering position.

A control device for an injection molding machine is equipped with a pressure acquisition unit that acquires a pressure of a resin, a reverse rotation control unit that causes a screw to be rotated in reverse, after the screw has reached a predetermined metering position, a measurement unit that measures an elapsed time or a rotation amount of the screw from when the screw has reached the predetermined metering position, and a rearward movement control unit that initiates sucking back of the screw in an overlapping manner with the reverse rotation of the screw, in the case that a predetermined rearward movement initiation time has elapsed, or in the case that the screw has been rotated by a predetermined rearward movement initiation rotation amount, from when the screw has reached the predetermined metering position.

The invention pertains to an injection molding machine comprising, an injection nozzle (2) having a melt channel (6), an injection opening (5), and a filter (9) for filtering the molten resin within the injection nozzle (2). According to the invention, the melt filter (9) cooperates with the 5 melt channel (6) or a means (7) provided within the melt channel (6) in such a way, that during an injection phase of the injection molding machine, the molten resin is caused to pass through the filter (9), and during a decompression phase of the injection molding machine the molten resin is caused to bypass the filter (9).

A method for controlling an injection cycle of an injection molding machine incudes advancing an injection screw axially forward toward an injection nozzle from a shot-size position to an injection position to inject melt from a shot chamber into a hot runner of a mold and from the hot runner to fill cavities of the mold. Then the injection screw is retracted away from the nozzle, from the injection position to a decompression position axially rearward of the shot-size position, to relieve melt pressure in the hot runner. Then the screw is advanced toward the nozzle from the decompression position to an intermediate position axially intermediate the injection position and the shot-size position. The method then includes rotating the screw to re-fill the shot chamber with melt and urge the screw to retract from the intermediate position to the shot-size position.
