Abstract

Recently, on-line process monitoring systems using sensors are being extensively used to produce highquality products. However, the difficulty in installing the sensors within the mold in the cases of micro-molds, optical molds, and molds with complex structures is a serious disadvantage of such process monitoring systems. In this study, the quantitative index of a process monitoring system was evaluated with the mold cavity pressure and the nozzle pressure for the injection molding machine. In order to evaluate the effect of the nozzle pressure, we performed correlation analysis for the weight of the molded product. We also examined the control characteristics of the injection molding machine by analyzing the effect of multistage injection speed, holding pressure, and injection pressure limit on the process monitoring data.

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.
