사출금형 공정계획이란 금형설계를 완료한 후에 설계된 금형을 경제적, 효율적으로 생산하기 위하여 수행하는 제조공정에 대한 계획이다. 이러한 공정계획은 전문가의 수작업에 의한 수립에 의한 문제, 전문가의 양성과 부족현상, CAD/CAM 시스템 보급 및 생산형태의 다품종소량화 현상에 의해 자동화가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 사례기반추론(Case-Based Reasoning)을 이용하여 IIMPPS(Intelligent Injection Mold Process Planning System)라는 사출금형 공정계획시스템을 개발하였다. 사출금형 공정계획을 자동화하기 위해서 사례기반 추론을 사용한 이유는 사출금형이라는 제품은 금형의 종류와 구조 등에 따라 공정계획이 매우 다양하게 수립되지만, 성형품의 용도나 품명이 같은 경우에는 공정이 거의 유사하여, 과거에 수립된 공정계획이 새로운 금형의 공정 계획에 매우 유용하게 사용될 수 있기 때문이다. 그리고 본 연구에서는 IIMPPS의 타당성을 평가하기 위하여 전문가의 정성적인 평가와 공정계획의 정확도 평가를 수행하였다.

Temperature control of a rubber injection mold is important for the dimensional accuracy of product. The main objective of this paper is to optimize the arrangement of heaters by FEM and optimal design method. Firstly, 3-dimensional transient heat transfer analysis was carried out for a square specimen mold. Results of FE analysis are a good agreement with the experimental results, showing about 1.22~7.22% error in temperature distribution. Secondly, we suggested the optimal method about an arrangement of heaters of rubber injection mold by using the optimal design technique. Distances between heater's center and the contact surface of mold, distances between heater's center and symmetric surface were considered as design variables. And the variances between the temperatures of cavity surfaces and their average temperature were used as the objective functions. Applying the optimal solution, the temperature variation was improved about 52.9~88.1 % compared to the existing mold. As a result of sensitivity analysis for design variables, design variables parallel to the direction of the split plane in mold affect the largest on the surface temperature variation in mold cavity.

This paper describes in detail the life prediction models and simulations of thermal fatigue under different mold compounds and chip sizes for wafer-level embedded SiP. Three-dimensional finite element models are built to simulate the viscoplastic behaviors for various mold compounds and chip sizes. In particular, the bonding parts between a mold and silicon nitride (Si3N4) are carefully modeled, and the strain distributions are studied. Three different chip sizes are used, and the effects of the mold compounds are observed. Through the numerical studies, it is found that type-C, which has a relatively lower Young's modulus and higher CTE, has a better fatigue life than the other mold compounds. In addition, the $4{\times}4$ chip has a shorter life than the $6{\times}6$ and $8{\times}8$ chips.

Manufacturing technologies of micro spur gear and micro mold by micro PIM were studied with stainless steel feedstock. For molding of gears, micro mold with gear cavity of 1.2 mm in diameter was produced by wire EDM. The proper injection pressure was selected to 70bar by observation and measuring of shapes and shrinkage of gears before/after sintering. For fabrication of micro mold, a tiny polymer gear was produced by injection into the mold. Then, 316L feedstock was again injected/compressed on the polymer gear and debinded together with polymer gear followed by sintering. As a result, another metal mold with gear cavity reduced to about 20% was fabricated and through repetition of this process chain, micro gear mold with cavity about below 800 um was finally obtained. In reduction of size by injection/compression molding, height of gear tooth was shrunk more and the effort for decrease of roughness of micro cavity were carried out ultrasonic polishing and as a result, the roughness in cavity decreased from 3-4 um to about 200 nm.

Cold forging is a method in which molding is performed at room temperature. It has a high material recovery rate and dimensional precision and produces excellent surface quality, and it is mainly used for the production of bolted or housing products. The lifespan of cold forging molds is generally determined by the wear of the mold, plastic deformation of the mold, and fatigue strength. Cold forging molds are frequently damaged due to fatigue destruction rather than wear and plastic deformation in a high-temperature environment as it is molded at room temperature without preheating the raw material and mold. Based on the results analyzed through FEM, an effective mold structure design method was proposed by analyzing the changes in tensile and compressive stresses on molds according to the number of molds and reinforcement rings and comparing the product geometry and mold stress using three existing mold models.

Recently, the demand of high-productivity injection mold increases since the consumption of packaging grows in the world. Stack mold is composed of more than two molds and it has very high productivity and economic efficiency. In advanced country, stack mold which has was developed already but, in occasion of domestic mold industry, there is no study of stack mold. In this study, die and mold of in-mold labeling was developed for securing the technique of manufacturing high-productivity mold.

In this study, the vibration signal of the mold was measured and analyzed to monitoring the process time and characteristics during injection molding. A 5 inch light guide plate mold was used to injection molding and the vibration signal was measured by MPU6050 acceleration sensor module attached the surface of fixed mold base. Conditions except for injection speed and packing pressure were set to the same value and the change of the vibration signal of the mold according to injection speed and packing pressure was analyzed. As a result, the vibration signal had a large change at three points: "Injection start", "V/P switchover", and "Packing end". The time difference between "injection start" and "V/P switchover" means the injection time in the injection molding process, and the time difference between "V/P switchover" and "Packing end" means the packing time. When the injection time and packing time obtained from the vibration signal of the mold are compared with the time recorded in the injection molding machine, the error of the injection time was 2.19±0.69% and the error of the packing time was 1.39±0.83%, which was the same level as the actual value. Additionally, the amplitude at the time of "injection start" increased as the injection speed increased. In "V/P switchover", the amplitude tended to be proportional to the pressure difference between the maximum injection pressure and the packing pressure and the amplitude at the "packing end" tended to the pressure difference between the packing pressure and the back pressure. Therefore, based on the result of this study, the injection time and packing time of each cycle can be monitored by measuring the vibration signal of the mold. Also, it was confirmed that the level and trend of process variables such as the injection speed, maximum injection pressure, and packing pressure can be evaluated as the change of the mold vibration during injection molding.

자동차 타이어의 트레드는 노면과 직접적으로 접촉하며 제동력, 구동력, 소음 등 중요한 역할을 한다. 트레드는 많은 그루브로 이루어져 있는데 고무의 형상을 형성하는 가류 공정에서 불량이 발생하게 되면 트레드의 기능이 저하되어 자동차 성능의 문제로 이어지게 된다. 본 논문은 CAE 해석을 통하여 가류 공정 중 구체적인 고무의 흐름을 분석하였다. 트레드 형상에 따라 고무 흐름의 편차가 발생하기 때문에 형상에 따른 트레드의 고무가 금형에 접촉되는 순서와 속도 그리고 고무의 흐름을 관찰하였다. 트레드의 형상에 따라서 고무가 금형에 안착되는 양상이 다르게 나타났으며 고무의 흐름에 큰 변화를 주는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

This study develops an automation system for metallic mold design that is applicable in forging non-axial symmetric parts. The metallic mold design program is used to design the metallic mold using two-dimensional axial symmetric metallic molds and to predict the stress concentration using finite element analyses. Then, the program redesigns the metallic mold using variables such as the optimal split diameter, maximum allowable inner pressure, fit tolerance, and stress distribution, which are calculated using the metallic mold design program. When the involute spur gear is forged, stress concentration occurs on the tooth root bounded at the symmetric surface. The SCM4 material is suitable for metallic molds because the stress is less than the yield strength of the insert and it acts on the tooth root regardless of the inner pressure. The metallic mold for forging non-axial symmetric parts can be designed through adjusting the magnitude of the contact pressure. The program developed in this study can be applied to metallic mold designs in involute spur gears of forging, which is an ordinary non-axial symmetric part.
