Optimisation of Mould Design for Injection Moulding – Numerical Approach

Performance Evaluation of Purely Mechanical Wireless In-Mould Sensor for Injection Moulding

In this paper, the influencing parameters of a novel purely mechanical wireless in-mould injection moulding sensor were investigated. The sensor is capable of detecting the melt front at predefined locations inside the mould. The sensor comprises a movable pin which acts as the sensor element generating structure-borne sound triggered by the passing melt front. Due to the sensor design, melt pr...

Internet-Based Collaborative Design for an Injection-moulding System

Nowadays, the globalization of the manufacturing enterprises requires collaboration across frontiers. In order to attain effective collaboration, the information about the product life cycle must be captured and administrated in a way that supports the decision taken during the product development. In this context, the manufacturing process information needs to be shared between manufacturers. ...

Simulation Tools for Injection Moulding

In this paper the concern is certain simulation tools for the lling phase of injection moulding of plastics. A mathematical model, called the distance model, of the injection moulding process has been developed by Professor Gunnar Aronsson at the University of Linkk oping. From this model one can nd the lling pattern (i.e. ow fronts) of the molten polymer as it enters the mould, by solving a sh...

Investigation on the Achievable Flow Length in Injection Moulding of Polymeric Materials with Dynamic Mould Tempering

A variety of parts in microsystems technology are manufactured by injection moulding of polymeric materials. In Particular the high cooling velocity affects negatively the process and the resulting part properties. The scope of this paper is to investigate the influence on the reachable flow length in injection moulding of different polymeric materials. The results indicate that the mould tempe...
