Abstract
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, there is provided an injection molding machine including a mold clamping unit that clamps a mold unit, an injection unit that fills the mold unit clamped by the mold clamping unit with a molding material, an ejector unit that takes out a molding product from the mold unit after the molding material filled by the injection unit is cooled and solidified, a plurality of data acquisition units that acquire different types of data from each other, and a data transmission unit that transmits data acquired by the plurality of data acquisition units to a management device in a state where the data are capable of being compared in time-series for each type of data.
Claims8
An injection molding machine comprising:
- a mold clamping unit that clamps a mold unit;
- an injection unit that fills the mold unit clamped by the mold clamping unit with a molding material;
- an ejector unit that takes out a molding product from the mold unit after the molding material filled by the injection unit is cooled and solidified;
- a plurality of data acquisition units that acquire different types of data from each other at different data acquisition cycles;
- and
- a controller,
- wherein the controller includes:
- a data processing unit configured to process an acquisition timing of data or a content of data acquired by at least one of the plurality of data acquisition units so that the different types of data acquired by each of the plurality of data acquisition units are compared in time series, and
- a data transmission unit configured to transmit the data processed by the data processing unit to an external device that exists outside the controller.
A management system comprising:
- a plurality of injection molding machines;
- and
- a management device capable of communicating with each of the plurality of injection molding machines,
- wherein each of the plurality of injection molding machines includes a mold clamping unit that clamps a mold unit, an injection unit that fills the mold unit clamped by the mold clamping unit with a molding material, an ejector unit that takes out a molding product from the mold unit after the molding material filled by the injection unit is cooled and solidified, a plurality of data acquisition units that acquire different types of data from each other at different data acquisition cycles, and a controller, and
- the controller includes:
- a data processing unit configured to process an acquisition timing of data or a content of data acquired by at least one of the plurality of data acquisition units so that the different types of data acquired by each of the plurality of data acquisition units are compared in time series, and
- a data transmission unit configured to transmit the data processed by the data processing unit to the management device.
