Automatic lubricator for injection molding machine

摘要

An automatic lubricator for an injection molding machine, capable of performing proper lubrication in accordance with operation environment of the injection molding machine. A lubrication interval Ls is controlled according to length of cycle time S of the injection molding machine so that the lubrication interval Ls is increased when the cycle time S is long and it is decreased when the cycle time S is short. Further, when a ball screw temperature t1 is high the lubrication interval Ls is accordingly decreased by DELTA DL, and when the ball screw temperature t1 is low the lubrication interval Ls is accordingly increased by DELTA DL. Also, when the ambient temperature t2 is high the operation time Tp of a lubricating pump 2 is decreased, and when the ambient temperature t2 is low the operation time Tp is increased to stabilize the lubrication quantity.
