Control System of an Injection Mold
Control System:
Apart from the Micro Processor based control provided on the injection molding machine the Mold also needs limit switches/Sensors, thermocouples, Alignment scales, Pressure Gauges etc to Control the Mold operation at various stages thru the life of the mold to ensure better quality products from the Mold and longer mold life.
Hope as mold designers we can always take care of the six above systems to Design Better Molds.

Step 1: Control system of an Injection Mold
Apart from the Micro Processor based control provided on the injection molding machine the Mold also needs limit switches/Sensors, thermocouples, Alignment scales, Pressure Gauges etc to Control the Mold operation at various stages thru the life of the mold to ensure better quality products from the Mold and longer mold life.
Control System on the molding machine:
Control system of the Plastic injection molding machine formed by electric relays and switching valves has many shortcomings, such as complexity wiring, low control accuracy, inconvenience maintenance and lack of flexibility, using the simulation assessment of the actual application method, this paper designs the injection molding machine control systems based on PLC controller, the new control system is composed by PLC, inverter, sensors and other components, with the help of PID control, which according to the given screw barrel temperature deviation value and measured value, automatically adjust and stabilize of the entire control system. Simulation experimental results show this new control system can achieve better performance is effective, which will decrease energy consumption of the stabilization system; the research achievements have certain theoretical and practical value to the design of injection molding machine control system.
The Design of the Injection Molding Machine Control System Based on PLC Controller. Available from: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/271572436_The_Design_of_the_Injection_Molding_Machine_Control_System_Based_on_PLC_Controller [accessed Aug 12 2018].
Hope as mold designers we can always take care of the six above systems to Design Better Molds.
"Suiting the mold to the smallest tonnage Molding Machine and Providing Better Cooling for a Mold is the
Premium a Mold Designer can offer to the Molder. "
"Using as little material as possible and reducing the machining complicity is the premium the designer
can offer to the Mold Maker"
All the Best Friends,
Wish you all better Mold Designs and a nice time.
