In recent, the demands of household cases and disposable products is increased significantly because a living standard of newly-emerging nations was risen. Therefore, multi-cavity mold and stack mold for the realization of high-productivity have been researched in forefront nations. In this paper, CAE analysis for minimizing the mold core deformation was performed. Finally, 64 cavities injection mold for molding cap which has the insert-type core was fabricated according to the result of CAE analysis.

Almost all injection molds have multi-cavity, which are designed with geometrically balanced runner system in order to made filling balance between cavity to cavity during injection molding. However, filling imbalance has been existed in the geometrically balanced runner system. In this study, we made an experiment and surveyed that are filling balanced variation according to molding condition with thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV). Also, we conducted experiments in order to know the influence of filling balance for runner core pin (RC pin).

Transfer Molding is currently the most widely used process for encapsulation integrated circuits(;IC). Although the process has been introduced over 20 years ago, generating billions of parts each year, it is far from being optimized. With each new mold, epoxy mold, epoxy mold compound, and lead-frame, lengthy period and expensive qualification runs have to be performed to minimized defects ranging from wire sweep, incomplete fill, and internal voids etc. This studies describes how simulation can be applied to transfer molding to yield acceptable design and processing parameter. The non-isothermal filling of non-newtonian reactive epoxy molding compound(;EMC) in a multi-cavity mold is analyzed. Sensitivity analysis is conducted to investigate the influence of process deviations on the final molded profile. This study trend is carried out by following some heuristic process guidelines.

Plastic parts are molded for the purpose of mass production in injection molding. Therefore designer is usually designing molds that has geometrically balanced hot runner lay-out for filling balance at cavities. Although, mold is manufactured with geometrically balanced runner lay-out, there are actually filling imbalances in cavities. These filling imbalances phenomenon are caused by complicated interaction between melt and mold. In this paper, filling imbalances for internal gear based on injection molding in hot-runner mold were investigated by CAE and injection molding experiences.

Electrical discharge machining(EDM) is an important process of machining the injection mold. This paper includes efficient design processes of electrodes for EDM. Based on the solid modeler, electrodes can be created by boolean and offset operations with core/cavity models. The built-in offset operations of the solid modeler may occur unexpected results due to the limitations of the solid modeler. We proposed the multi-step and moving-face offset processes in order to apply the EDM clearances. The proposed design processes are implemented with Unigraphics Vl5 API functions and C language and tested on Windows NT 4.0.

Recently, the study for filling imbalance in thermoplastic polymer has gradually been increased. However, it is hard to find the researches for filling imbalance of thermoplastic elastomer(TPE). The experiment of filling imbalance was conducted for the three kinds of thermoplastic vulcanizes(TPVs) in the mold with geometrically balanced runner system. In this experiment, the effects of the melt temperature and injection speed on the filling imbalance were investigated. To solve the filling imbalance, Runner Core pin(RC pin) in the experimental mold was adopted and it's effects was tested. In this paper, we present that the insert length of RC pin is dependent to each polymers for optimal filling balance.

Family injection molding of plastic is widely used to enhance productivity. Runners for molded products in fami-ly injection molding have to be balanced so that each of the producs is filled completely at the same time,. In this study computer simulations were performed to determine balanced circular section runners in family injection molding with two cavities where each of he cavity shapes is like a case. It was found from the computer simula-tions that runner balance could be fulfilled only by modifying runner diameters. But in order to get more quality molded products other process factors such as flow length flow resistance shapes of products and etc, should be taken in to consideration for the design of a family injection molding process.

In resin transfer molding, the preform similar to product shape is placed into a mold cavity. Rapid flow front without void formation is important for the composites processing. Multi-layered preform of sandwich is selected. Experiments is carried out using redial flow. An analytical modeling is performed and compared with experimental results. Accurate prediction of flow advance in the preform is of use for reducing the time consumption in the process and enhancing product properties of the final part.

The injection molding process has been developed as a very important technology for the automotive and electric industries in recent years. But, in the injection molding products with rib-web structures, partial deformation by thermal volumetric shrinkage called Sink Mark, is occurred. In this study, to make explicitly characteristics of sink mechanism, an experimental approach was taken by using multi T-shaped mold cavity and FEM simulation. As a result, pressure on the packing process and the rib thickness are the most effective on sink mark depth. On the other hand, melt temperature has no effect on sink mark depth fot the same rib thickness.

Flip top cap은 경량성, 가공성, 내식성 우수하여 최근에 생활 용기 뚜껑으로 많이 활용되고 있다. Flip top cap은 사출성형에 의해 제작 되며 사출성형 과정에서 힌지부분에 웰드라인(Weldline)이 형성되어 기계적 강도가 떨어지게 된다. Flip top cap은 생활용기에 사용되며 실제생활에서 많은 작동을 요구하기 때문에 힌지부분의 웰드라인은 제품불량에 큰 원인이 된다. 또한 Flip top cap은 생산성을 높이기 위해 멀티캐비티(Multi-cavity) 사출방식을 선호한다. 멀티캐비티 방식은 높은 사출압력을 요구하기 때문에 사출품의 불량과 사출기에 많은 부하가 예상된다. 본 연구에서는 게이트 위치를 조정함으로써 사출품 힌지부분에서 발생할 수 있는 웰드라인을 품질에 영향이 없는 곳으로 이동시키고 최적의 사출 압력을 찾기 위한 유동해석을 통해 최적의 사출조건을 도출함으로써 Flip top cap의 기계적 품질과 제품생산성 향상을 위한 연구가 수행되었다.
