Patent ID: 8457775

Claim:
A method for defining a uniform injection molding interface for use with a plurality of injection molding machines supplied by different manufacturers, the injection molding machines being configured with a plurality of common control parameters, and each comprising an original interface to set control parameters from which the common control parameters are selected and a control device to control the injection molding machine in response to the control parameters, the method comprising: selecting at least one of the common control parameters from the injection molding machines supplied by different manufacturers; setting at least one standardization page; establishing a uniform injection molding interface via configuring the at least one of the common control parameters into the at least one standardization page, wherein the uniform injection molding interface provides a uniform platform associated with each of the injection molding machines, the uniform platform configured with the at least one of the common control parameters; storing the data related to the uniform injection molding interface into a storage unit of each of the injection molding machines; and connecting the uniform injection molding interface to the control device via an input control device of each of the injection molding machines to enable the control device to control the injection molding machines in response to the control parameters set via the uniform injection molding interface.
