injection mold machine custom gui

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

I did a hydrauic press brake without conventional axes of G-code some time ago. I am not sure that was worth the trouble in the end, as with axes you get homing and speed control for free.

There might be some reusable ideas there though.
