On-line Model-Based Tuning of Simulation for the Control of Sheet Temperature Distributions in Thermoforming

Patrick Girard, National Research Council of Canada - Industrial Materials Institute, October 14, 2003
$99.00
Description:
This presentation proposes a two-step technique to tune the results of the simulation to the actual sensor outputs of the machine: First a simple but accurate model of the heating process is identified on-line. This fast response model can be applied to in-cycle control. Secondly this model is used to tune the simulation to the process in such a way that the simulation will output the sensor’s readings.

Plastic Conversion Processes: A Concise and Applied Guide

Eric Cybulski, 2009; 165 pages

$70.00
Description:

Many books describe a single plastic-conversion process, like injection molding, but until now, none has described and compared several processes. This book provides a basic overview of seven conversion processes used in the industry. These processes account for more than 97% of all plastic products. Each chapter begins with a process attribute table to serve as a quick guide. The particular conversion process is then briefly described, along with a short history. To better explain each process, sections detailing equipment, tooling, and materials have been added.

Technology of Thermoforming

James L. Throne, 1996, 882 pages
ISBN: 
1569901988, 9781569901984
$202.00
Description:
This handbook is intended to be a revision and update to the 1987 monograph by James Throne, a leading authority in this field. The result is this thorough and updated text of the thermoforming process and of thermoformed products. The editorial concept in each chapter of this handbook moves from a relatively simple approach to more technical, in-depth information with examples and guidelines to illustrate points made in the text.

The Process of Thermoforming: Where Are We? Where Are We Going?

Presented by: Jay Waddell, Plastic Concepts & Innovations, LLC, July 12, 2007
$99.00
Description:
As the world grows flatter, thermoforming has to be able to adapt to the fact that we are dealing in a global arena. To compete in a changing environment, thermoformers must look to alternative means to cut costs and focus on their core talents. Globalization is part of our future. How do we adapt and meet the challenges of the flat world? This presentation is an overview of the current status of the thermoforming process, both roll-fed and cut-sheet, with emphasis on the process controls and current technology.
