The injection molding process itself is a complex mix of time, temperature and pressure variables with a multitude of manufacturing defects that can occur without the right combination of processing parameters and design components. Determining optimal initial process parameter settings critically influences productivity, quality, and costs of production in the plastic injection molding (PIM) industry. Most production engineers have used trial-and-error method to determine initial settings for a number of parameters, including melt temperature, injection pressure, injection velocity, injection time, packing pressure, packing time, cooling temperature, and cooling time which depend on the engineers’ experience. The method for finding the optimized solution would involve use of Mini tab 17 software and for analysis Taguchi method is used. The use of this software would highlight the recommended values of the parameters for Injection Molding for the specified component design. Defect prevention coupled with minimum cycle time results in optimization of the process.
