  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MOLDING AN OBJECT ACCORDING TO A COMPUTATIONAL MODEL
    Publication number: 20190005164
    Abstract: A method of molding includes providing a physical mold having a plurality of physical sensors at sensor locations and providing pressure, volume, and temperature curves for a desired flow rate profile of an injection material at the sensor locations. The method also includes injecting the injection material into the physical mold at a physical flow rate corresponding to the desired flow rate profile and monitoring pressure, volume, and temperature of the injection material by the physical sensors. The method further includes controlling the physical flow rate when the monitored pressure, volume, or temperature of the injection material deviates from the pressure, volume, and temperature curves.

  • Injection molding machines and methods for accounting for changes in material properties during injection molding runs
    Patent number: 9643351
    Abstract: A method and a machine account for changes in material properties of molten plastic material during an injection run. A change in a control signal is calculated by a controller during the injection molding run. If the change in the control signal indicates a change in material flowability, the controller alters a target injection pressure to ensure that molten plastic material completely fills and packs a mold cavity to prevent part flaws such as short shots or flashing.

  • Injection molding machines and methods for accounting for changes in material properties during injection molding runs
    Patent number: 9481119
    Abstract: A method and a machine that account for changes in material properties of molten plastic material during an injection run. If viscosity of the molten plastic material changes during an injection run, a controller alters a step time of the injection cycle to ensure that molten plastic material completely fills and packs a mold cavity to prevent part flaws such as short shots or flashing.
