Abstract

A method of collecting molding data and obtaining a molding condition releases an operator from test shot operations and improves operation efficiency. A rough molding condition obtained by a condition setting operation is modified with a pitch which is set for respective molding condition items and a plurality of analogous molding conditions are created and stored in a host computer. A set of the analogous molding conditions and the set number of test shots are transferred to a controller of an injection molding machine to continuously carry out the test shots. Molding data detected in the test shots are transferred to and stored in the host computer. An optimal molding condition is obtained by evaluating the molding data under the respective molding conditions.
