Injection molding machine

Abstract

An injection molding machine configured so that items of molding conditions of which values are not changed can be set selectively when a set of molding conditions is read from a storage device so that values for the read molding condition items are set as the set values. Installation setting is established for the set items of those molding conditions of which set values are prohibited from being changed. When a set of predetermined values of the molding conditions is read from the storage device and set collectively, the set values for only those set items which are not designated to the installation setting are rewritten to the read values without changing the set values for the items designated to the installation setting. If a password with which the installation setting can be designated and canceled is entered, an installation setting mode is established, whereupon the installation setting for the set items can be designated or canceled. The set values for the items designated to the installation setting cannot be changed. If the set of molding conditions is read from the storage device and set collectively, therefore, the set values are fixed to the original ones without being changed. The set values for the items designated to the installation setting can be changed only if a special password is entered.
