Injection molding machine

An injection molding machine comprising:

• a mold clamping mechanism configured to perform mold clamping or mold opening by moving at least one of a first mold and a second mold;
• an injection device configured to inject a resin into a cavity between the clamped first mold and second mold;
• a storage configured to store:
• first and second operation information each respectively indicating an operation of the first or second mold from among one or more possible operations the first or second mold is configured to perform, an operation of the mold clamping mechanism from among one or more possible operations the mold clamping mechanism is configured to perform, an operation of the injection device from among one or more possible operations the injection device is configured to perform, or processing by a system program from among one or more possible operations the system program is configured to perform,
• first image information including a first icon indicating the operation indicated by the first operation information, and
• second image information including a second icon indicating the operation indicated by the second operation information;
• a display which is configured to display the first and second icons, and displays at least one of the first and second icons at a position set by an operator;
• and
• a controller configured to automatically execute processing by the system program, wherein
• the first and second operation information is information about a kind of an injection molding operation according to a first or second production condition, and information about a kind of an operation of the first and second molds or information about a kind of an operation of the mold clamping mechanism from beginning to completion of the injection molding operation,
• the display displays a first axis representing a position of the first mold, the second mold or the mold clamping mechanism and a second axis orthogonal to the first axis representing time or process,
• the display displays a plurality of operating points indicating positions of the first mold, the second mold or the mold clamping mechanism in the first axis relative to time or process in the second axis from the beginning of the injection molding operation to the completion of the injection molding operation, and line segments connecting the plurality of operating points so that the plurality of operating points and the line segments represent a flow of a series of production process from the beginning of the injection molding operation to the completion of the injection molding operation,
• the first and second icons are displayed on the operating points in the flow of the series of production process,
• the plurality of operating points, the line segments, and the first and second icons are located in a production flow display area defined by the first axis and the second axis, and
• the controller is configured to execute operations or processing by at least one of the mold clamping mechanism and the injection device as indicated by the first and second icons at timings defined by the first axis and the second axis and indicated by the operating points on which the first and second icons are displayed.
