The mixture ratio of two-component liquid silicone is important for the inherent physical characteristics of the finished product. Therefore, it is necessary to uniformly control the ratio of the main material and the sub-material. In this paper, a mixing-ratio control system was designed, which consists of a digital flow meter and a flow control system to measure the flow rate of the raw materials and a pumping system to maintain constant pressure and transfer of the raw materials. In addition, a program was developed to control the organic interlocking and mixing ratio. For the verification of the developed system, we compared the actual weight of raw material with the value measured by the flow meter during pumping, and we measured the physical properties of the mixed material by making test samples with and without the application of the mixing-ratio improvement algorithm. The measured value was close to the reference value with a hardness range of 46-47 and tensile strength of 9.3-9.5 MPa. These results show that the mixing ratio of the liquid silicone is controlled within an error range of ${\pm}0.5%$.

In this paper, in order to compare the mixing ratio according to the feeding method, the input error of the main material and the sub material was measured and analyzed for 100 cycles using raw material having the same viscosity. As a result of the piston pump method, the input error of main material and sub material varied greatly from 0g to 3g, and the maximum error ratio was 10.3%. In the dual-screw rotation method, the input error varied from 0.01g to 0,4g, and the maximum error ratio was 0.41%, and almost no input error occurred. As the process cycle increased, it was found that the feed was almost uniform. The dual-screw rotary two-component mixing system was used to measure and analyze the inputs of the main and sub materials for 100 using three types of liquid silicones with different viscosities of the raw materials. As a result, the average error was 0.75g and the error rate was less than 1% regardless of the viscosity of the applied raw materials. When rae materials having the same viscosity were used, the average error ratio of the piston pump method was 4.09%.
