Patent ID: 8116903

Claim:
A control system for controlling display of an injection molding machine (IMM), the control system comprising: a human machine interface (HMI); a driver configured for driving the IMM to perform a plurality of operations in an injection molding work cycle of the IMM, wherein the plurality of operations comprises at least one chip operation, wherein the at least one chip operation is an auxiliary operation selectively combined with each of the plurality of operations for changing working times of the combined operations, and the HMI transmits an instruction to the controller for changing working time of the combined operations in response to receiving a chip operation parameter amending instruction at the end of each work cycle; a controller configured for controlling the driver; a timer configured for timing and recording working time of each of the plurality of operations in real time; and a time display module configured for controlling the HMI to simultaneously display the working times of the operations that have been done and the operation in process of the current injection molding work cycle in a graphical way to correspond to the timing and the duration of each of the plurality of operations, wherein the working times of the operations are graphically distinct from each other, and wherein the working time of the operation in process is displayed in real time.
