The Use of the Taguchi Method in Determining the Optimum Plastic Injection Moulding Parameters for the Production of a Consumer Product
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study, the Taguchi method is used to find the optimal process parameters for an injection moulding machine that was used to produce a consumer product (plastic tray) from polypropylene (PP) plastic material. An orthogonal array (OA), main effect, signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were employed to investigate the bending characteristics of the tray under a constant load. Through this study, not only can the optimal process parameters for injection moulding process be obtained, but also the main process parameters that affect the bending performance of the tray can be found. Experimental results are provided to confirm the effectiveness of this approach.

Effect of Injection Moulding Process Parameter on Tensile Strength Using Taguchi Method
Abstract—The plastic industry plays very important role in the economy of any country. It is generally among the leading share of the economy of the country. Since metals and their alloys are very rarely available on the earth. Therefore, to produce plastic products and components, which finds application in many industrial as well as household consumer products is beneficial. Since 50% plastic...
