Injection molding machine

An injection molding machine comprising:

• a mold clamping device including:
• a movable platen having a movable mold;
• a fixed platen having a fixed mold that faces the movable mold;
• and
• a toggle mechanism configured to move the movable platen in directions in which a mold device opens and closes, relative to the fixed platen, and dispose the movable platen in a mold clamping position;
• an injection device configured to inject a molding material into a cavity space formed between the movable mold disposed in the mold clamping position and the fixed mold;
• and
• a control device configured to control operation of the injection device and the mold clamping device,
• wherein the control device is configured to perform a cleaning process, in which, while the movable platen is at a burr-forming position where the movable mold is farther away from the fixed mold than at the mold clamping position, the injection device injects the molding material into the mold device to mold an article with burrs, and
• wherein the toggle mechanism is configured such that a toggle factor at the burr-forming position is a magnification factor of 1 or greater.
