Abstract
The mixture ratio of two-component liquid silicone is important for the inherent physical characteristics of the finished product. Therefore, it is necessary to uniformly control the ratio of the main material and the sub-material. In this paper, a mixing-ratio control system was designed, which consists of a digital flow meter and a flow control system to measure the flow rate of the raw materials and a pumping system to maintain constant pressure and transfer of the raw materials. In addition, a program was developed to control the organic interlocking and mixing ratio. For the verification of the developed system, we compared the actual weight of raw material with the value measured by the flow meter during pumping, and we measured the physical properties of the mixed material by making test samples with and without the application of the mixing-ratio improvement algorithm. The measured value was close to the reference value with a hardness range of 46-47 and tensile strength of 9.3-9.5 MPa. These results show that the mixing ratio of the liquid silicone is controlled within an error range of ${\pm}0.5%$.
