Injection molding system
An injection molding system includes a first unit in which an injection molding machine is disposed and an option unit. The injection molding machine is configured to be attachable with a stationary die and a movable die that moves with respect to the stationary die. The option unit includes at least one of a second unit in which a robot that moves a molded article molded by the injection molding machine is disposed and a third unit in which at least one of a material dryer that dries a material supplied to the injection molding machine and a material supply section that supplies the material to the injection molding machine is disposed. The first unit is configured to be detachably attachable with the option unit.
