The present invention relates to a system and method for monitoring maintenance and lubricating of a toggle bearing of an injection molding machine. The system includes a vibration sensor for detecting a vibration change of the toggle bearing, in which the vibration sensor outputs a vibration signal according to the detected vibration change; a smart machine box configured to receive the vibration signal and converting it into a digital vibration signal for output; a control unit configured to receive the digital vibration signal, comparing the vibration change with a vibration standard value, and outputting a lubrication command when the vibration change exceeds the vibration standard value; and an oiling unit configured to receive the lubrication command and applying an oiling action to the toggle bearing. The method is implemented together with the system. Thereby, the best time point when the toggle bearing needs to be oiled can be found.
