Optimization of Process Parameters for Injection Molding Based on Taguchi Technique

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, Taguchi and CAE technique are combined to study the influence of process conditions on the warpage of injection molding parts through twice orthogonal design experiments, and the injection process parameters are optimized according to the warpage. For the parameters selected, melt temperature and packing pressure have effects on the warpage of injection molding parts are highly significant, injection time is significant, other parameters have little effects. Within the range of experiments, the warpage decreased with the rise of the melt temperature and packing pressure. At last, the optimum process parameters of injection are that the mold temperature is 60°C, packing time is 10s, melt temperature is240°C, packing pressure is 115MPa and injection time is 0.4s.
