An injection molding machine for manufacturing plastic moldings contains a plurality of hydraulic loads for individual subassemblies including a closing unit, an injection unit, an ejector and cores. A plurality of the pumps are respectively connected to the hydraulic loads. At least one alternating-current servomotor is provided for driving the pumps. In a method of controlling hydraulic drives of the foregoing machine, the measured value of a subassembly is detected and compared with a desired value; any deviation detected thereby is converted into a desired velocity value. The speed of rotation of an associated motor is then adjusted, via a servodrive module, in response to the mentioned desired velocity value.
