Abstract: We have developed a plasticating simulation program for injection molding machines based on Chungs melting model. We compared the simulation results with the results of experiments which employed a visualization cylinder. The visualization cylinder has sight glass windows through which we can observe the melting phenomena in the cylinder. We established the temperature of resin in the cylinder by using infrared thermograph. The temperature of resin obtained by the simulation was close to experimental one. On the other hand, the solid-bed ratio deviated from the experiment results especially in the compression zone when the screw rotation speed was low. This suggests that the calculation of heat in the melting process should be improved.

Abstract: Based on the mechanism of processing and molding of multivariate polypropylene composite system, this paper studies the effect of the screw length-to-diameter ratio and the wedge angle of the helix angle of the twin-screw extruder on the properties of elongation at break of polypropylene composite. The relationship between injection temperature and injection pressure of injection molding machine is also analyzed. Experiments show that when length-to-diameter ratio is 30, and wedge angle is 16±5^o, the elongation at break of test sample reaches its maximum value and tends to be stable. When melting pressure is 40 MPa and the injection temperature at 190 °C-220 °C, injection molding machine can improve the process flowing property of composite materials.

Abstract: This article analyzing the importance of PID in the design of the temperature process controller for hybrid injection mould machine. The injection mould machine is a basic requirement of plastic. Its process to mould the items through adjustment of proper temperatures realized desired shapes. And it is very indispensable to maintain these desired temperatures. PID controller is used as an industrial process controller. It may not get satisfying results when used as a temperature process controller. The temperature process has the characteristics of non-linearity, large inertia and time variations. To solve these problems, this article put forward an effective controller design by introducing PID in the designing of temperature process controller. The paper drafted the performance analysis of PID controller versus based controller designs.

Abstract: The weight of platens accounts for about 70% of the entire clamping device of injection molding machine. The reduction in the weight of platen means the reduction in the cost of injection molding machine. UG NX8.0 was adopted to conduct the parametric design, and UG NX8.0 Advanced Simulation module was adopted to conduct the finite element analysis and the topology optimization design for the front platen of injection molding machine so as to obtain the quantitative conclusions that the volume of platen is reduced and the stiffness as well as the strength is improved. The maximum deformation of platen is decreased by 6.2%, the volume is decreased by 6%, the maximum stress is decreased by 6.6% and the average displacement of all the nodes in the mold mounting plane is decreased by 9.1%. The effect of optimization is obvious.
