Automated Vision Inspection System for a Plastic Injection Mould Component
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an automated vision based defect inspection and sorting system for a plastic injection mould component called a Retractor Retaining Bush, which is an automotive safety critical component. The system identifies defects which usually occur in a plastic injection mould component. Various types of sensors and actuators were interfaced with the vision hardware and the part handling mechanism, to complete the total automated vision based inspection system.

A Model of the Injection Moulding Process
This paper is concerned with the injection moulding process, in which hot molten plastic is injected under high pressure into a thin cold mould. Assuming that the velocity and temperature profiles across the mould maintain their shape, a simple steady state model to describe the behaviour of a Newtonian fluid during the rilling stage is developed. Various phenomena of the process are examined, ...
