사출성형은 다양한 형태의 제품을 대량 생산할 수 있는 플라스틱 성형 공법중의 하나이다. 플라스틱 제품을 만들기 위해서는 고상의 재료를 액상으로 녹인 후 다시 고상으로 굳히는 과정을 거치는 데, 이 과정 중에 많은 문제점들이 발생을 하게 된다. 과거에는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 성형 후 금형 설계 변경 등의 시행착오적 방법을 사용하였으나, 성형과정에 대한 사출성형 CAE(Computer Aided Engineering)를 적용함으로써, 사전에 문제점을 파악하는 기술이 도입되었다. 플라스틱 제품의 큰 문제점 중 하나가 치수안정성이다. 특히 박막사출성형품은 게이트의 위치, 냉각채널과 온도에 따라서 변형량이 크게 달라진다. 본 연구에서는 현재 Stackmold방식으로 4개의 Cavity에 4개의 Hot-Runner가 설치된 금형을 통해 생산중인 DVD Tray 박막사출제품의 생산 원가 절감을 위해서 Cavity하나에 한 개의 Hot-Runner를 설계하기 위해서 CAE 해석을 통해 게이트의 위치, 냉각채널과 온도에 따라 비교하여 해석해 최적의 제품 설계를 하였다. CAE 해석에는 상업화된 CAE 프로그램인 Moldflow를 사용하였고, 수지는 PC+ABS를 사용하였다.

Plastic gears are more and more widely used in many industrial machine elements. Plastic gear has higher properties such as light weight, wear resistance, and vibration absorbing ability than metallic gears. But, in case of using an inaccurate plastic gear, its tooth breakage happen and fatigue life is shortened due to increase of applying load and temperature rising on the tooth flank. Inaccuracy of plastic gears such as pitch circle roundness and tooth profile generates vibration and noise. In this study, an internal plastic gears which is molded by a new injection mold structure are developed. The new mold structure is called the HR3P(hot runner type 3plate mold) that has an improved runner system in order to have good filling balance. As a result from this study, an internal gear with very accurate roundness was developed by using design of experiment.

핫 러너를 이용한 사출 공정에서는, 색교체가 중요한 문제이다. 이 연구는 열가소성 수지의 색교체 특성을 평가할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 캐필러리 다이를 이용하여 색교체도를 평가할 수 있는 방법을 고안하고 구현한다. 캐필러리 다이로부터의 토출물을 영상화하여, 회색음영으로 정량화하였다. 그 음영도를 기반으로 하여, 색교체도를 결정하였다. 주어진 온도와 토출 속도에서, 색교체도가 토출회수에 따라 변화하는 추이를 얻어 내고 분석하였다.

Injection Molding is the most effective process for mass production of plastic parts. The injection molding process is composed with several steps such as Filling, Packing, Holding, Cooling, Ejecting. Among them, filling and packing process should be considered carefully to improve accuracy of dimension, surface quality of plastic parts. Usually the quality above-mentioned is managed with weight of part after molding on the field. In this paper, a series of experiment for molding automotive front bumper was conducted with cavitity temperature sensor to optimize switch-over time(V-P switching), hot runner vale gate sequence time during filling and packing step for the purpose of uniform quality, weight at every molding. As a result, it was found that it is effective method to use temperature sensor in injection molding for quality control of plastic molding.

In this study, we design the feed system and process conditions for a lamp garnish lens of an automobile. For this purpose, four design alternatives are presented and injection molding simulation analyses are performed. The optimal feed system is selected by considering the formability of the product and the cost of mold manufacture. The product formability is assessed by the weld line, warpage, sink mark and the maximum injection pressure, whereas the mold-making cost is estimated by the number of valve gates in the hot runner system. To improve the product formability, process conditions are optimized using an experimental design approach named one-factor-at-a-time. No weld line is generated as a result of the optimization. In addition, it is found the warpage and sink mark are reduced while the maximum injection pressure is increased, compared with those before the optimization.

The position of the gate is one of the important factors for optimal injection molding. This is because inappropriate gate positions cannot fill the cavity uniformly, which can lead to defects such as contraction. In this study, CAE was performed on hot runner injection molding of the washing machine base and plasticity was compared by changing gate position from existing gate position. A total of two alternatives have been applied to compare the plasticity of the washing machine base according to its optimal gate position. The gate position of the improved molds and the gate position of the current mold is analyzed by injection molding analysis. The results of the fill time, the pressure at V/P switchover, clamping force, and deflection were compared. In washing machine base injection molding, the deflection was reduced by about 3.76% in the improved mold 2. In improved mold 1, the fill time during injection molding was reduced by 3.32% to enable uniform charging, and the clamping force was reduced by 31.24%. We have confirmed that the position of the gate can change the charging pressure and the clamping force and affect the quality and cost savings of the molded product.

In this study, the optimum gating system was designed, and the two zinc alloy worm gears were manufactured in single process by applying a symmetrical gating system with 2 runners. The SRG ratio is set to 1 : 0.9 : 0.6, and the cross-sectional shapes such as sprue, runner and gate are designed. In order to determine whether the design of the gating system is appropriate, casting analysis was carried out. It takes 4.380 s to charge the casting 100%, 0.55 to 0.6 m/s at the gates and solidification begins after the casting is fully charged. The amount of air entrapment is 2% in the left gear and 6% in the right gear. Hot spots occurred in the center hole of the gear, and pores were found to occur around the upper part of the hole. Therefore, the design of the casting method is suitable for worm gears. CT analysis showed that all parts of worm gear were distributed with fine pores and some coarse pores were distributed around the central hole of worm gear. The yield strength and tensile strength were 220 MPa, 285 MPa, and the elongation rate was 8%. Vickers hardness is 82 HV.

LCD 프레임은 중 대형 TFT-LCD BLU의 기본형상을 유지시켜주는 중요한 부분이다. 중 대형 LCD 프레임을 효율적으로 생산하기 위해 1 캐비티에서 2 캐비티 사출 공정으로의 개선이 필요하다. 2 캐비티 금형 구조는 콤팩트하게 되었고 핫 런너 존이 증가되었기 때문에 사출온도를 조절하기 어렵게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 2 캐비티 사출성형공정으로 생산된 프레임에 대한 품질을 평가하기 위해서 유한요소해석 프로그램을 사용하여 사출해석을 수행하였다. 1 캐비티와 2 캐비티 공정에서 계산된 사출압력과 최대 변형량은 각각 41.13 MPa과 1.62 mm, 40.49 MPa과 1.66 mm이다. 1 캐비티 프레임의 측정된 최대 굽힘 하중, 표면거칠기가 140 N, 0.13 ${\mu}m$, 인데 비하여 2 캐비티 중 좌, 우 프레임의 측정값들은 209 N, 0.08 ${\mu}m$와 193 N, 0.10 ${\mu}m$이다. 열화상은 2 캐비티 금형 중 좌 우 금형 온도의 최대 표준 편차값은 $1.23^{\circ}C$임을 나타내고 있다. 시뮬레이션과 측정은 전체적으로 2 캐비티 사출공정의 프레임 품질이 1 캐비티 품질보다 나쁘지 않다는 것을 보여주고 있다. 그러나 2 캐비티 공정에서 프레임의 최대 굽힘 하중값은 1 캐비티 공정의 하중값보다 매우 증가되었다.
