Molding condition recording apparatus for an injection molding machine
First Claim
1. A molding condition recording apparatus for an injection molding machine comprising:
- first input means for changeably inputting parameters which constitute one set of molding conditions, the one set of molding conditions consisting of plural groups of parameters;
first memory means for changeably storing the parameters constituting the one set of molding conditions;
second memory means for storing a plurality of stored sets of molding conditions including one or more stored sets of molding conditions that cause defective molding, the plurality of stored sets of molding conditions stored in said second memory means representing a history of processes for determining optimum molding conditions;
second input means for inputting a command to transfer the one set of molding conditions stored in said first memory means to said second memory means as one of the plurality of stored sets of molding conditions; and
control means for controlling said first and second memory means so that the one set of molding conditions is stored in said second memory means as the one of the plurality of stored sets of molding conditions in response to an operation of said first and second input means.

Abstract
A molding condition recording apparatus having a manual data input device with a CRT. The manual data input device has various keys for inputting parameters of various groups used for controlling injection, hold, metering and cylinder temperature, and for inputting molding defect indication data. A microprocessor for a programmable machine controller causes the input parameters and the molding defect indication data to be stored in a molding condition storage region of a shared memory (S5). The microprocessor then discriminates similarity between the thus stored molding condition and the molding condition already registered in a molding condition/molding defect storage file of a memory other than the shared memory (S7). If there is similarity between these molding conditions, the microprocessor causes the CRT to display an alarm message thereon together with the parameter already registered in the file and the mold defect indication data (S12). When there is no similarity between the molding conditions, the microprocessor transfers the molding condition stored in the shared memory to the file for storage therein. Even when the alarm message is displayed, a similar transfer and storage process is carried out if it is requested by an operator (S 13).
