Abstract
In an injection molding system, an amount of deformation of an elastic member is calculated from image data of the elastic member causing a nozzle to generate a nozzle touch force and a nozzle touch force of the nozzle is calculated by converting the amount of deformation. Accordingly, it becomes possible to detect abnormal conditions such as resin leakage and mold deformation and exercise correct control of the nozzle touch force.
Claims11
An injection molding system including a mold, a nozzle capable of coming into contact with the mold, and an elastic member causing the nozzle to come into contact with the mold and having an injection unit causing the nozzle to generate a nozzle touch force by deforming the elastic member, the injection molding system comprising:
- an elastic member shooting unit for shooting the elastic member;
- a deformation amount calculation unit for calculating an amount of deformation of the elastic member from image data of the elastic member shot by the elastic member shooting unit;
- and
- a nozzle touch force conversion unit for converting data of the amount of deformation calculated by the deformation amount calculation unit into the nozzle touch force based on a correlation between the amount of deformation of the elastic member and the nozzle touch force determined in advance.
