Abstract

The cavity pressure in the injection molding process is closely related to the quality of the molded products, and is used for process monitoring and control, to upgrade the quality of the molded products. The experimental platform was built to carry out the cavity pressure experiment with a micro spline injection mold in the paper. The process parameters were changed, such as V/P switchover, mold temperature, melt temperature, packing pressure, and injection rate, in order to analyze the influence of the process parameters on the product weight. The peak cavity pressure and area under the pressure curve were the two attributes utilized in investigating the correlation between cavity pressure and part weight. The experimental results show that the later switchover allowed the injection to proceed longer and produce a heavier tensile specimen. By comparing different cavity pressure curves, the general shapes of the curves were able to indicate different types of shortage produced. When the V/P switchover position is 10 mm, the coefficient of determination (R2 value) of part weight, for the peak cavity pressure and area under the curve, were 0.7706 and 0.8565, respectively. This showed that the area under the curve appeared to be a better process and quality indicator than the peak cavity pressure.
