    摘要: For each of different resins R, a zero shear viscosity ηo of each resin R is obtained by using a conversion function expression whose parameters are a melt flow rate (MFR) and a set temperature of a heating cylinder and is registered. Also, a purge resin required amount Wu corresponding to a viscosity difference ηd between the zero shear viscosity ηof of a former resin Rf and the zero shear viscosity ηos of a succeeding resin Rs is registered. When resin switching is performed, the zero shear viscosity ηof of the former resin Rf and the zero shear viscosity ηos of the succeeding resin Rs are obtained by inputting the MFR of the former resin Rf and the MFR of the succeeding resin Rs to a molding machine controller, the viscosity difference ηd between the zero shear viscosity ηof of the former resin Rf and the zero shear viscosity ηos of the succeeding resin Rs is obtained, an amount of a purge resin required for resin switching is obtained as a purge resin required amount Wu, and at least the obtained purge resin required amount Wu is displayed.
