Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to an injection molding machine. The injection molding machine according to the present disclosure compares its own first molding condition with a second molding condition from auxiliary equipment, and, when the first molding condition and the second molding condition are different from each other, synchronizes the first molding condition with the second molding condition or provides notification that the first molding condition and the second molding condition are different from each other. According to the present disclosure, confusion in the operation of auxiliary equipment and the management of data may be prevented.
Claims9
An injection molding machine, comprising:
- a molding device configured to form a cavity by means of a mold so that a molded product can be produced in the cavity or to open the cavity so that the produced molded product can be taken out;
- an injection device configured to inject molten resin into the cavity formed by the molding device;
- and
- a general setting device configured to set a molding condition for at least one piece of auxiliary equipment that forms a molding environment required for production of a molded product while being auxiliary to the molding device and the injection device;
- wherein the general setting device comprises:
- a communication means configured to communicate with a unit setting device in the auxiliary equipment to exchange a molding condition with the unit setting device;
- a storage means configured to store a molding condition for the auxiliary equipment;
- an output means configured to output a molding condition for the auxiliary equipment;
- an input means configured to input a molding condition for the auxiliary equipment or input a command required by an administrator;
- and
- a control means configured to control the communication means, the storage means, and the output means in response to a manipulation of the input means;
- and
- wherein the control means comprises:
- a comparison part configured to compare a first molding condition for control of the auxiliary equipment in the general setting device with a second molding condition received from the unit setting device via the communication means;
- and
- a synchronization part configured to change (hereinafter referred to as ‘synchronize’) the first molding condition so that the first molding condition becomes a same as a value of the second molding condition.
An injection molding machine, comprising:
- a molding device configured to form a cavity having a product shape so that molten resin injected into the cavity is solidified to produce an injection-molded product or to open the cavity so that the produced molded product can be taken out;
- an injection device configured to inject molten resin into the cavity formed by the molding device;
- and
- a general setting device configured to set a molding condition for at least one piece of auxiliary equipment that forms a molding environment required for production of a molded product while being auxiliary to the molding device and the injection device;
- wherein the general setting device comprises:
- a communication means configured to communicate with a unit setting device in the auxiliary equipment to exchange a molding condition with the unit setting device;
- a storage means configured to store a molding condition for the auxiliary equipment;
- an output means configured to output a molding condition for the auxiliary equipment;
- an input means configured to input a molding condition for the auxiliary equipment or input a command required by an administrator;
- and
- a control means configured to control the communication means, the storage means, and the output means in response to a manipulation of the input means;
- and
- wherein the control means comprises:
- a comparison part configured to compare a second molding condition received from the unit setting device via the communication means with a first molding condition provided in advance;
- and
- a notification part configured to, when it is determined by the comparison part that the second molding condition and the first molding condition are different from each other, provide notification that the first molding condition and the second molding condition are different from each other via the output means.
