Designers are frequently faced with multiple quality issues in injection molded parts. These issues are usually In conflict with each other, and thus tradeoff needs to be made to reach a final compromised solutions. The objective of this study is to develop an automated injection molding design methodology, whereby part defects such as warpage and weld line are optimized. The features of the proposed methodology are as follows: first, Utility Function approach is applied to transform the original multiple objective problem into single objective problem. Second is an implementation of a direct search-based Injection molding optimization procedure with automated consideration of process variation. The Space Reduction Method based on Taguchi's DOE(Design Of Experiment) is used as a general optimization tool in this study. The computational experimental verification of the methodology was partially carried out for a can model of Cavallero Plastics Incorporation, U. S. A. Applied to production, this study will be of immense value to companies in reducing the product development time and enhancing the product quality.

The light-weight of the research and development materials is actively carried out by overseas automobile companies and technology development continues in Korea. For the sake of fuel efficiency, the development of lightweight technology by improving the manufacturing method has been very effective. Recently, to maximize the effects of light weight, automotive interior parts have been applied by the micro-cellular injection molding using supercritical fluids and we call the Mucell manufacturing. This technique causes a problem in the quality of the surface of the products, because the shooting cells are revealed as the surface layer of the products by forming micro cells at the center of the products during injection molding. To overcome these phenomenon, we increased the temperature of injection molding using joule heating until critical value. In this study, we have predicted the problem of Mucell injection molding through the finite element analysis as changed the temperature by joule heating. From the result of finite element analysis, we have determined the optimized process and made the injection mold included electric current heating system with Mucell manufacturing analyzed the surface characteristics of the injection product according to changing mold temperature.

최근 고품질 제품 생산을 위한 방법으로 센서를 이용한 사출공정모니터링 시스템이 적용되고 있다. 그러나 마이크로 금형, 광학용 금형 및 구조가 복잡한 금형에는 센서 설치가 어렵기 때문에, 공정 모니터링 시스템이 적용되기 어려운 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 금형과 사출성형기 노즐의 압력 을 측정하여 공정 모니터링 데이터의 정량적 지수를 정의하고, 성형품 중량에 대한 상관분석을 수행하여 노즐에 설치된 압력센서의 공정모니터링 적용성을 알아보았다. 또한 공정모니터링 데이터를 분석하여 다단사출속도, 보압 및 제한 사출 압력의 영향에 따른 사출성형기의 공정 제어 특성도 알아보았다.

대부분의 플라스틱 제품은 사출성형을 통해 생산된다. 사출성형에서 성형수축은 피할 수 없으며 이는 제품에 휨이나 뒤틀림을 유발하여 제품의 치수정밀도를 떨어뜨리는 요인으로 작용한다. 사출성형 시 발생하는 휨이나 뒤틀림은 성형조건이나 제품의 형상에도 영향을 받지만 수지의 물성에 따라서도 다양하게 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 제품의 휨을 제어하기 위해 폴리카보네이트를 유리섬유로 보강하여 물성을 예측하였으며, 이를 이용하여 사출성형해석을 실시하였다. 사출성형해석을 통해 유리섬유로 보강된 수지에서 제품의 휨이 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구방법의 타당성과 신뢰성을 검증하기 위하여 사출실험을 실시하여 수지의 물성에 따른 휨 값을 분석하였으며 해석과 실험에서 유사한 경향의 휨이 발생하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 결론적으로 본 연구에서 수행한 바와 같이 해석 프로그램을 통해 수지의 물성을 설계하고 이를 통한 휨의 제어가 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다.

사출 성형 방법은 금형내부에 가소화된 수지를 높은 압력으로 사출한 후 경화시켜 제품을 만드는 방법으로 자유로운 형상제조가 가능하며 수 만개의 제품생간이 가능한 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 사출성형 해석을 통하여 차량용 도어래치 공정조건을 결정하는 것이다. 적합한 사출성형 공정의 사출 유량을 선정하기 위하여, 사출 시간, 압력, 유동 패턴, 고화영역, 전단응력, 전단률, 웰드라인을 비교한1차 해석과 금형 온도 안정화 및 보압과 냉각 공정 조건 결정을 위한 2차 해석을 진행하여, 사출성형 특성과 제품 품질에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 이에 따라 선정된 사출 성형 공정 조건으로 금형을 설계하고, 제품을 생산하였을 때 성형품의 외관을 관찰한 결과 웰드라인과 기공들이 존재하지 않음을 알 수 있었고, 시제품과 변형량을 비교하였을 때 문제가 없음을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 선정된 조건으로 제품을 생산하였을 때 기존 제품에 비해 불량률을 줄일 수 있으며, 제품 생산 시간의 손실을 최소화 하여 경쟁력을 확보할 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.

As the consumer market in the cosmetic, vehicle manufacturing and aerospace industries grows, the demand for manufacturing industries using on injection mold technology. Also, such manufacturing technology of metal machining is expensive, and the shape is limited. Cosmetic cushion fact products are divided into outer relevant to the exterior of the product and inner containers containing the actual contents. In the case of the inner container, it needs to be combined with the upper and lower cases. As environmental regulations are strengthened internationally, the use of a large number of component parts can result in significant losses in recycling and economics. Therefore, this study aims to perform injection molding analysis through injection molding simulation to develop a cushion fact container that can be recycled through the unification of products and materials using polypropylene to cope with environmental regulations. In the case of injection molding conditions, Injection Time(sec): 4.5, Cooling Time(sec): 13, Resin Temperature($^{\circ}C$): 240, and Pressure(MPa): 30 were determined. The results of injection molding simulation according to the two design methods were compared with the sync mark which shows the problem of filling and injection molding.

The use of engineering plastic products in internal combustion engine and electric cars to improve stiffness and reduce weight is increasing significantly. Among various lightweight materials, engineering plastics have significant advantages such as cost reduction, improved productivity, and weight reduction. In particular, engineering plastics containing glass fibers are used to enhance stiffness. However, the stiffness of glass fibers can increase or decrease depending on their orientation. Before developing plastic products, optimal designs are determined through injection molding and structural analysis to enhance product reliability. However, reliable analysis of products with variable stiffnesses caused by anisotropy cannot be achieved via the conventional isotropic structural analysis, which does not consider anisotropy. Therefore, based on the previously reported study "the Effect of Impacted Fracture in Glass Fiber Orientation with Injection Molding & Structural Coupled Analysis," this study aims to investigate the structural analysis and degradation mechanisms of various polymers. In particular, this study elucidates the actual mechanism of plastic fracture by analyzing various fracture conditions and their corresponding simulations. Furthermore, the objective of this study is to apply the injection molding and structural coupled analysis mechanism to develop engineering plastic products containing glass fibers. In addition, the study aims to apply and improve the plastic fracture mechanism in actual products by exploring anisotropy and stiffness reduction owing to the unfilled polymer weld line.

If any of the set parameters such as the environment temperature, mold temperature are not maintained at a consistent level, the fail rate of injection molding products is increased. The price of the injection molding machine is very high, so in order to maximize the utilization of the machine that is required the production of a number of different products with minimum fail rate using a single machine. To prevent the defect products by an inspection process with perfect quality is very important to minimizing production of defect products in the molding process. Vision inspection systems are widely utilized in various manufacturing industries for quality assurance purposes. The vision inspection system consists of CCD camera and lighting system to capture the image of the subject of inspection, an image comparison algorithm using to determine the pass/fail of the products, and mechanical devices for the operation of the whole system. This research focuses on the development of the vision inspection system to process the inspection of an automobile parts. We developed a mechanical devices for the inspection of the injection molding products and an image comparison algorithm to determine the pass/fail result of the inspection based on the molding image and the accepted product image.

Recently, injection molding process became more popular than ever to produce large quantities of high precision products. Extensive studies have been conducted for reducing the residual stresses and birefringence in injection-molded optical products. Flow-induced and thermally-induced stresses and birefringence have been found as two main sources during injection molding process. Generally, quantitative value of birefringence can be measured with polarizing microscope using the compensator. However, it is difficult to measure low order retardation with microscope, so developing a measurement system for low order optical path difference is in need. In the present paper, a system using Photo Elastic Modulator (PEM) is demonstrated to measure low phase retardation in injection-molded products.
