We acquired data of injection molding machine in operation and stored the data in database. We acquired the data of injection molding machine for fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) continuously and estimated the fault results with a fuzzy algorithm. Many of FDD are applied to a huge system, nuclear power plant and a computer numerical control(CNC) machine for processing machinery. But, the research of FDD is rare in injection molding machine compare with computer numerical control machine. We appraise the accuracy of the FDD and the limit of the application to the injection molding machine. We construct the fault detection and diagnosis system based on fuzzy algorithm in the injection molding machine. Data of operating injection molding machine are acquired in order to improve the reliability of detection and diagnosis.

The cycle time and power saving effect of a hydraulic hybrid injection molding machine using a servo motor are considered in this paper. In order to verify control characteristics, such as pressure and speed, experiments were performed with the hydraulic hybrid injection molding machine, clamping force of 110 ton. The power consumption and production cycle time of a conventional hydraulic injection molding machine were measured to compare its performances with the hydraulic hybrid injection molding machine. An injection molding machine with a clamping force of 1300 ton was used as the conventional machine, the hybrid machine was implemented by replacing its induction motors with servo motors. In the remodeled hybrid machine, experiments were performed to investigate how the displacement of the mold clamping pump affects the power consumption and production cycle time. The results showed that the production cycle time of the hybrid injection molding is similar to a conventional hydraulic injection molding machine but with a significant energy saving of about 40%.

Injection molding has been widely used for the mass production of a plastic product. With the development of the relative technique, various injection molding techniques have been developed and we could get more precise plastic product. The temperature of a melting resin is an important factor in the injection molding and this temperature has direct influence on the quality of a plastic product. In the present injection molding machine, the deriation of a temperature controlled by PID control method is within 2$^{\circ}C$ in the injection molding machine but PID control method takes too much time to stabilize after preheating and its overshoot is so big. We applied fuzzy control to alleriate the problem. In this research, we experimented the fuzzy temperature control with the usage of PC based PLC.

Because of steep rise of international energy cost in recent years, high efficiency has been emphasized in energy policy. As far as injection molding machine is concerned, hybrid method using hydraulic and electric systems became the key to this energy saving. The energy saving and molding reproducibility of hybrid injection molding process were shown experimentally. The power consumption of hybrid injection molding machine is reduced to 38% as compared with that of hydraulic machine. Furthermore, the molding reproducibility was shown for both methods.

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a fusion method that combines the design of experiments (DOE) and machine learning to optimize the bias of plastic products. The study focuses on the plastic motor housing used in automobiles, which is manufactured through plastic injection molding. Achieving optimal molding for the motor housing involves the optimization of various molding conditions, including injection pressure, injection time, holding pressure, mold temperature, and cooling time. Failure to optimize these conditions can lead to increased product deformation. To minimize the deformation of the motor housing, the widely used Taguchi method, which is one of the design of experiment techniques, was employed to identify the injection molding conditions that affect deformation. Machine learning was then applied to various models based on the identified molding conditions. Among the models, the Random Forest model emerged as the most effective in predicting deformation amounts. The validity of the Random Forest model was also confirmed through verification. The verification results demonstrated the excellent prediction accuracy of the trained Random Forest model. By utilizing the validated model, molding conditions that minimize deformation were determined. Implementation of these optimal molding conditions led to a reduction of approximately 5.3% in deformation compared to the conditions before optimization. It is noteworthy that all injection molding outcomes presented in this paper were obtained through robust injection molding simulations, ensuring both research objectivity and speed.

This study presents the stress safety analysis of a cylinder, which is manufactured by a tempered ASTM D2, tempered SM45C and normalized SM45C materials, respectively. The inner diameter of three cylinder models are 85mm, 95mm, and 11 Omm and the total length of a cylinder is 2,365mm for a high pressure injection molding machine. The FEM computed results show that the inner diameter of 85mm with a thick thickness of 62.5mm may produce the injection pressure of 325MPa and the inner diameter of 110mm with 50mm thickness reduces up to the injection pressure of 220MPa because of a reduced thickness of a cylinder. These injection pressures are enough for a high pressure injection molding machine assembled by ASTM D2 cylinder. And also, an injection cylinder manufactured by a tempered SM45C material in which is low priee may produce 225MPa injection molding pressure and this may sufficiently endure stress safety compared to that of ASTM D2 cylinder material. Thus, this study recommends that tempered SM45C cylinder is appropriated for a mild injection molding machine as an alternative cylinder material when the safety strength and low prices are considered. But the normalized SM45C cylinder material does not meet a stress safety of yield strength in general.
