Abstract
A controller for an injection molding machine includes a hardware processor. The hardware processor is configured to output a screen. The screen includes an entry field for entering a completion time at which the increasing of temperature of a temperature-controlled member is completed. The temperature-controlled member is subjected to temperature control in the injection molding machine. The hardware processor is further configured to receive an entry of the completion time in the entry field.
Claims9
A controller for an injection molding machine, comprising:
- a hardware processor configured to
- output a screen, the screen including an entry field for entering a completion time at which increasing of temperature of a temperature-controlled member is completed, the temperature-controlled member being subjected to temperature control in the injection molding machine,
- receive an entry of the completion time in the entry field, and
- control heating with heaters provided for respective zones of the temperature-controlled member, each zone being a section in which temperature control is performed;
- wherein each zone has a different heat capacity, and
- wherein a start time of heating by each heater is adjusted, based on heat capacity, so that the increasing of the temperature is completed at the entered completion time.
A non-transitory storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a process, the process including:
- displaying an entry field for entering a completion time at which increasing of temperature of a temperature-controlled member is completed, the temperature-controlled member being subjected to temperature control in an injection molding machine;
- receiving an entry of the completion time in the entry field, and
- controlling heating with heaters provided for respective zones of the temperature-controlled member, each zone being a section in which temperature control is performed;
- wherein each zone has a different heat capacity, and
- wherein the process includes adjusting a start time of heating by each heater, based on heat capacity, so that the increasing of the temperature is completed at the entered completion time.
