Abstract

Injection molding has been widely used in producing plastic parts in large quantities. However, its productivity mainly depends on the expertise and experience of skilled workers because of the difficulty and complexity to determine a robust injection molding condition which is not influenced by the minor operational variation of an injection molding machine and produces good parts continuously. This study analyzes the defect types of the parts and proposes a support system to assist users in determining the robust process condition. The support system calculates the start condition from the information of an injection mold, the injection molding machine, the resin used, and the part. Through the iterative step which updates the condition using the defect information of the part tested, users can obtain the initial condition which produces the part without any problem for the first time. The support system also assists users in obtaining the robust condition from the initial condition using the technique of experimental design. To prove the validity of the support system, this study implements it in the control panel of the injection molding machine.
