When the molding material is injected into the mold and, for example, an injection end signal is input to the controller from the injection fluid pressure cylinder, the controller starts a timer and multiplies the average injection stroke by the above cross-sectional area. The total volume is the volume of the molded product, and the product of this and the above density is the weight of the molded product. The weight and the above-mentioned specific heat are multiplied together to give the amount of heat possessed by the injected molded product. on the other hand,
The cooling temperature width is determined by subtracting the solidification temperature from the temperature immediately before injection, and the required amount of cooling heat per unit time is calculated by multiplying the surface area, heat transfer coefficient, and cooling temperature width.

が可能になる。On the other hand, for example, the resin temperature in the metering section inside the barrel is constantly input to the controller by a temperature sensor that measures it. For example, when an injection start signal is input to the controller from the injection fluid pressure cylinder, the controller sets the screw position at this time as the injection start position and the temperature at this time as the temperature of the molding material immediately before injection. Remember. When the molding material is injected into the mold and, for example, an injection end signal is input to the controller from the injection fluid pressure cylinder, the controller stores the screw position at this time as the injection end position and also starts the timer. Let it start. Further, the controller calculates an injection stroke from both position signals, multiplies this by the cross-sectional area to obtain the volume of the molded product, and multiplies this by the density to determine the weight of the molded product. The weight and the above-mentioned specific heat are multiplied together to give the amount of heat possessed by the injected molded product. On the other hand, the cooling temperature width is determined by subtracting the solidification temperature from the temperature immediately before injection, and the required amount of cooling heat per unit time is calculated by multiplying the surface area, heat transfer coefficient, and cooling temperature width. The required cooling time is determined by dividing the amount of heat of the molded product by the amount of cooling heat required per unit time. When the required cooling time has elapsed, the timer outputs a mold opening signal and the mold is opened. This makes it possible to open the mold in the shortest cooling time.
