  Next, the procedure of the setup work when attaching the mold apparatus 11 (FIG. 2) will be described.

  First, the operator secures a gap between the movable platen and the fixed platen so that the mold apparatus 11 can be attached to the fixed platen and the movable platen in the work process of moving the mold thickness. Therefore, in the “Setting” column, “mold thickness” and “α” representing a margin are displayed as setting items. The operator inputs the thickness of the mold apparatus 11 to be installed in the “mold thickness” setting field m1 and the margin value as the setting value in the “α” setting field m2, respectively. When the setting field m3 is switched to “ON” display, the mold thickness adjusting motor is driven, and the mold thickness moving operation is confirmed by the mold thickness adjusting device.

  Next, the worker inserts the mold apparatus 11 between the fixed platen and the movable platen using a crane (not shown) in the mold insertion work process.

  Subsequently, the operator sandwiches the mold apparatus 11 between the fixed platen and the movable platen in the mold touch work process. Therefore, “mold touch” is displayed as a setting item in the “Setting” column. The operator inputs the clamping force when the mold apparatus 11 is sandwiched between the fixed platen and the movable platen as a set value in the “mold touch force” setting field m4, and the “Act. SW” field. When the setting column m5 is switched to “ON” display, the mold clamping motor ma and the mold thickness adjusting motor are driven, and the operation of the mold touch operation confirmation by the mold clamping device is performed.

  Next, the operator performs alignment of the injection nozzle 19 of the injection device 15 and a sprue bush (not shown) of the fixed mold 11a in the nozzle touch work process, and in the mold fixing work process, the fixed mold is fixed. 11a is fixed to the fixed platen, and the movable mold 11b is fixed to the movable platen.

  Subsequently, the operator performs settings related to mold clamping of the mold apparatus 11 in the process of adjusting the mold clamping force. Therefore, “clamping force” is displayed as a setting item in the “Setting” column. When the operator inputs the mold clamping force as a set value in the setting field m6 and switches the setting field m7 in the “Act.SW” field to “ON” display, the mold clamping motor ma and the mold thickness adjusting motor Is driven, and the operation of adjusting the clamping force by the clamping device is confirmed.

  Next, the operator performs settings related to the mold opening / closing of the mold apparatus 11 in the mold opening limit setting work process. Therefore, in the “Setting” column, “mold opening limit position”, “mold opening / closing speed”, and “mold opening / closing pressure” are displayed as setting items. When the operator inputs the mold opening limit position, the mold opening / closing speed, and the mold opening / closing pressure as set values in the setting columns m11 to m13 of “mold opening limit position”, “mold opening / closing speed”, and “mold opening / closing pressure”, Settings for opening and closing can be made.

  Subsequently, the worker makes settings related to the protruding device in the EJ position setting work process. Therefore, in the “Setting” column, “projection position”, “EJ speed”, and “EJ pressure” are displayed as setting items. When the operator inputs the protrusion position, the ejector speed, and the ejector pressure in the setting fields m14 to m16 for “projection position”, “EJ speed”, and “EJ pressure”, settings relating to the protrusion device can be performed.

  Thus, in this Embodiment, since performance display part Ar11 is displayed on the metal mold | die installation setting screen d1, the setting value input into each setting column m1-m8 and m11-m16 is compared with a performance value. However, the set value can be changed while the setup condition can be easily set.

  In addition, since each work process in the setup work is arranged and displayed in the order of the processes on the setup work display part Ar21 in one screen, it is not necessary to set setup conditions across a plurality of screens. Therefore, it is not necessary to find the setting items that need to be set, so it may take a long time to set up the setup conditions, or you may forget to set up the setup conditions for a given setup item. Disappear.

  As a result, even if the worker is not an expert, the setup work can be performed quickly and reliably.

  In the present embodiment, the operator can set the setting items for other work processes while watching the setting of the setting items for the predetermined work process. It is possible to prevent the condition setting from being forgotten.

  In the mold attachment setting screen d1, the operation of the mold attachment setting screen d1 for each work process, the operation of the injection molding machine M1, and the like can be restricted.

  That is, it is possible to provide input restrictions on the setting item setting fields m1 to m8 and m11 to m16 for each work process, that is, input restrictions, or work restrictions in each work process, that is, work restrictions. it can.

  In that case, the set value for the lower work process is input until the set value is input or the set value for the upper work process among the work processes requiring a predetermined work is input and the work is performed as necessary. Entering or performing work is restricted. When the setting value input and work for the upper work process are completed, the setting value input and work restriction for the lower work process are released, and the setting value may be input or the work may be performed. Made possible.

  For this purpose, an operation determination processing means (operation determination processing unit) (not shown) of the CPU 31 performs an operation determination process, and whether or not a set value has been input in each setting column for the higher-level work process and whether the work has been performed. Judge whether. Subsequently, an operation restriction processing unit (operation restriction processing unit) (not shown) of the CPU 31 performs an operation restriction process, and when a set value is not input for a higher-order work process, or a work is performed for a higher-order work process. If there is not, input of setting values or operations for lower-level work processes is restricted.

  Then, when the input of the set value and the work for the upper work process are completed, the operation restriction processing means cancels the input of the set value and the work for the lower work process, and inputs the set value, Make it possible to do work.

  Accordingly, the setting values can be input and work in the order of work processes with higher priority, so that it is possible to prevent the user from forgetting to input the setting values and work for the predetermined work process.

  In addition, only input of set values is restricted, and input of set values for lower work processes is restricted until a set value is input for upper work processes among work processes that require input of set values. can do. In this case, when the set value is input for the upper work process, the input restriction is released, and the set value can be input for the lower work process.

  Also, for all work processes that require input of set values, when set values are input and work is performed, the transition from setup work to the next process is performed. Transition to the process (operation of the injection molding machine M1) can be enabled.

  For this purpose, the operation determination processing means determines whether or not an operation has been performed by inputting a set value in each setting column for all work processes. Then, the process transition processing means (process transition processing unit) (not shown) of the CPU 31 performs the process transition process, and when all the work processes are input with setting values in the setting column and the work is performed, the process proceeds to the mass production process. Allow migration of.

  Therefore, it is possible to prevent erroneous shift to the mass production process even though the setup conditions are not set.

  Further, for each work process, the operator can display a completion display field indicating that the setting value has been input to each setting field and that the work has been completed on the mold attachment setting screen d1.

  For this purpose, the display processing means allows the setting values to be input and the operations in the setting columns for each work process adjacent to the setting columns m1 to m8 and m11 to m16 on the mold attachment setting screen d1. A completion display column indicating completion is displayed. Then, when the input of the set value and the work are completed for the predetermined work process, the worker inputs the set value and the input indicating that the work is completed in the completion display column.

  In this case, a completion display determination processing unit (completion display determination processing unit) (not shown) of the CPU 31 performs a completion display determination process, and determines whether or not an input indicating that a setting value and an operation have been completed is performed in the completion display field. to decide.

  That is, the operation restriction processing means inputs the set value for the lower-order work process and the input of the set value for the lower-order work process, and if the input indicating that the work has been completed is not performed in the completion display column for the higher-order work process. Limit work.

  Accordingly, when the setting value is input to the completion display column and the input indicating that the work is completed is performed in the order of the work processes having the highest priority, the setting value can be input and the work can be performed. It is possible to prevent the user from forgetting to input and set the set value of the setup condition.

  Also, for all work processes that require input of set values and work, if the input of set values in the completion display column and input and work indicating completion of work are performed, transition to the mass production process Can be made possible.

  For this purpose, the operation determination processing unit determines whether or not an input of a set value in each completion display column and an input indicating that the work is completed have been performed. And the said process transfer process means (process transfer process part) permits transfer to a mass production process, when the input of the setting value to all the completion display columns and the input to the effect of completion are performed.

  Therefore, it is possible to prevent erroneous shift to the mass production process even though the setup conditions are not set.

  In the present embodiment, the setup work for mounting the mold has been described, but the present invention can be applied to other setup work.

  In that case, each setup condition setting screen is formed on the display unit 36 for each other setup operation, and the operation restriction processing means displays the setup conditions for each work process on each setup condition setting screen. The operation of the setting screen, the operation of the injection molding machine M1, etc. are restricted. In addition, when the restriction on the operation of the setup condition setting screen for each work process, the operation of the injection molding machine M1, etc. is released, the process transition processing means permits the transition to the next process.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, It can change variously based on the meaning of this invention, and does not exclude them from the scope of the present invention.
