Processing Optimization of Optical Lens in the Injection Molding

Article Preview

Abstract:

The processing conditions during the manufacturing have critical effects on the optical performances of the molded lenses including the refractive index, isochromatic fringe order, and the fringed pattern. The objective of this work is to investigate numerically some effects of the molding conditions on the residual stresses of injection molded lenses, and then to optimal the processing parameters for reducing the residual stresses using the Taguchi method. The results show the optimal method is able to improve the residual stress and to produce a good fringed pattern.
