injection mold machine custom gui was created by Philip Lydin
Hi everyone,I'm planning to build an automatic desktop injection molding machine and I'm considering using LinuxCNC to control it. The machine would have a few coordinated axes (like mold open/close, injection plunger, ejector, etc.) and a handful of I/O for heaters, sensors, and safety systems.I'm wondering how difficult it would be to create a custom GUI tailored specifically for this application, something more user-friendly than the standard CNC interface, and focused on things like , mold settings, heater status, and injection parameters.

Sounds interesting project
Will be looking out for build progress etc as this interests me , I have a few machines with old controls , they are no more than fancy plc inside with custom hydraulic servo valve control boards
All travel distances read by from transducers .. so I can see hal and ladder maybe few custom hal comps to drive valves all you need , so a nice gui you can see parameters , live data like injection pressures so can tweak mold run . Load and save part setup is key
Hope you make progress on this
