Effect of process parameters on cavity pressure in injection molding

In this study, an experimental work is performed on the effect of injection molding parameters on the polymer pressure inside the mold cavity. Different process parameters of the injection molding are considered during the experimental work (packing pressure, packing time, injection pressure, mold temperature, and melt temperature). A set analyses are carried out by combining the process parameters based on the L16(45)Taguchi orthogonal design. The cavity pressure is measured with time by using Kistler pressure sensor at different injection molding cycles. The results show the packing pressure is significant factor of affecting the maximum of diverse spline cavity pressure. The results obtained specify well the developing of the cavity pressure inside the mold cavity during the injection molding cycles.
