Closed-Loop Process-Control Systems for Injection Molding Based Upon Melt-Front Detection

Presented by: Susan Montgomery, Priamus System Technologies, LLC, February 4, 2009

$99.00
Description:
The basis for making consistent parts is identifying where the physics and chemistry of plastics processing come together--inside the mold cavity. This is where the PVT relationships occur. To make consistent parts, the PVT relationships from cavity to cavity must be consistent. Cavity pressure, the “P”, is the best signal for process optimization, but it is only part of the story. Coupled with cavity temperature, “T”, the location of the melt front is ascertained directly. Case studies and examples of closed-loop process-control applications based upon melt-front detection will be presented.

Scientific Processing for Injection Molding

Presented by: Suhas Kulkarni, FIMMTECH, March 19, 2008
$99.00
Description:
The molding process consists of several variables. Each of these variables has an effect not only on the final quality of the part but also on the efficiency of the production run. It is imperative that the molding process parameters be optimized to produce an acceptable part. The final goal in any molding operation must be to have (i) Shot to shot consistency and (ii) Run to run consistency. A process that needs constant tweaking from shift to shift and/or run to run is an unstable and unoptimized process. Mold trial iterations not only cost a lot of money but also take away valuable time.

Shear Induced Imbalances and MeltFlipper® Technology

Presented by: John P. Beaumont, Penn State Erie & Beaumont Technologies, Inc., April 28, 2004
$99.00
Description:
Shear induced melt imbalances, developed in cold and hot runner molds, may be the single most significant contributor to spoilage in injection molding. Numerous studies have revealed that the industry standard geometrically balanced (commonly referred to as “naturally balanced”) runner designs regularly result in melt and filling imbalances exceeding 30%. This imbalance results in a small processes window, increased clamp tonnage, injection pressure and cycle time. Resultant product variations within a single shot include the size, weight and mechanical properties of the molded parts.

The Investigation of Flow Behavior of Polymeric Melts in Water Assisted Injection Molding

Presented by: Dr. Chao-Tsai Huang, CoreTech System Co., Ltd., March 24, 2005
$99.00
Description:
During the past decades, the industry has been looking for several media as the assistant for injection molding. Among them, water assisted injection molding (WAIM) has been proven to be a pretty good way to fabricate hollow or more complicated parts. Water is chosen because of its low cost. Further, water has significant thermal conductivity that can provide more effective cooling to reduce the cycle time of the process. In addition, it is similar to gas assisted that water also can provide packing/holding effect to reduce the shrinkage and warpage to yield good quality products.
