Abstract
In a drift detection method for detecting drift in a pressure detection value output from a pressure detector, pressure is detected by the pressure detector at a preset detection point in a pressure-uncontrolled region in an arbitrary molding cycle. The detected pressure is set as a reference pressure. Pressure is detected by the pressure detector at the same detection point in the pressure-uncontrolled region in a subsequent molding cycle. A deviation of the detected pressure from the reference pressure is obtained. When the deviation is greater than a preset value, it is determined that a drift is present, and processing for coping with the drift is performed.
Claims14
A drift detection method for detecting drift in a pressure detection value output from a pressure detector used in a control apparatus for controlling an injection molding machine, the method comprising the steps of:
- detecting, by use of the pressure detector, pressure at a preset detection point in a pressure-uncontrolled region in an arbitrary molding cycle;
- setting the detected pressure as a reference pressure;
- detecting, by use of the pressure detector, pressure at the same detection point in the pressure-uncontrolled region in a subsequent molding cycle;
- obtaining a deviation of the detected pressure from the reference pressure;
- and
- performing processing for coping with drift when the deviation is greater than a preset value.
