Abstract

An injection molding system configured to complete molding by sequential injection molding by a plurality of injection devices, a data acquisition unit is configured to acquire an operation data, a count value of an injection molding number, and identification information of the injection device, and an injection molding number setting unit is configured to set the count number of the injection molding number stored in the injection molding number storing unit of each injection device composing the plurality of the injection devices to be same number, when the injection molding system begins the injection molding.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An injection molding system including a plurality of injection devices, a data acquisition unit configured to acquire data from the plurality of injection device, and an injection molding number setting unit, and configured to complete molding by sequential injection molding by the plurality of injection devices, each injection device composing the plurality of injection devices comprising:
an injection molding number counting unit configured to count injection molding number each time when injection molding is performed;
an injection molding number storing unit configured to store a count value of the injection molding number counted by the injection molding number counting unit each time when injection molding is performed;
an operation data storing unit configured to acquire and store operation data of the injection device each time when injection molding is performed; and
an injection device identification information storing unit configured to store identification information of the injection device; wherein

the data acquisition unit is configured to acquire the operation data stored in the operation data storing unit, the count value of the injection molding number counted by the injection molding number counting unit, and the identification information of the injection device stored by the injection device identification information storing unit, and
the injection molding number setting unit is configured to set the count number of the injection molding number stored in the injection molding number storing unit of each injection device composing the plurality of the injection devices to be same number, when the injection molding system restarts injection molding after any injection device that forms the plurality of the injection devices interrupts the operation.

2. The injection molding system according to claim 1 , wherein the injection molding system further comprising:
a central management device configured to manage the plurality of the injection molding device, and
the central management device comprises the data acquisition unit and the injection molding number setting unit.

3. The injection molding system according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a data display unit configured to display the operation data of each injection device composing the plurality of the injection devices in association with the count value of the injection molding number stored in the injection molding number storing unit of each injection molding device.

4. The injection molding system according to claim 1 , wherein the operation data of the injection device includes at least one of
a physical quantity detected when the injection device performs the injection molding,
content of change of molding condition of the injection device and day and time when the change is performed, and
content of operation of the injection device and day and time when the operation is performed.
