Injection-molding process control?A review

Precision Injection Molding PRECISION PROCESS CONTROL OF INJECTION MOLDING

1 INTRODUCTION The technical requirements of precision injection molded components demand a heightened level of process performance, and with corresponding process monitoring and control technologies. To obtain the desired critical to quality attributes (CTQs) of the molded products, the injection molding process must be consciously designed such that the key process variables (KPVs) are observ...

Finding efficient frontier of process parameters for plastic injection molding

Product quality for plastic injection molding process is highly related with the settings for its process parameters. Additionally, the product quality is not simply based on a single quality index, but multiple interrelated quality indices. To find the settings for the process parameters such that the multiple quality indices can be simultaneously optimized is becoming a research issue and ...

Modelling and Simulation for Micro Injection Molding Process

1.1 Micro injection molding process Since end of 60s’ last century, with the booming of the semi-conductive materials processing technologies related to IC (Integrated Circuits) industry, parts or components in micro-scale which is hard to see with naked eyes stepped into the attention of scientists. Thereafter, the various functional micro systems were rapidly widely used in different areas, s...

Acoustic Emission Crack Detection at Injection Molding Process

This paper presents the experimental results regarding acoustic emission signals measured during the injection molding of those standard test specimens commonly used for examining the shrinkage behaviour of various thermoplastic materials. In daily industrial production of different plastic products we often have to deal with various errors that practically occur on the mold primarily as a resu...
