AUTOMATICALLY OPTIMIZING THE OPERATING POINT IN INJECTION-MOLDING

Higher quality standards for plastics mouldings and increasingly more complicated moulds are making greater demands for optimization of the injection moulding process. A system for on-line quality feedback to the injection moulding process has been developed through the collaboration of a machine manufacturer with an injection moulder. It is based on the intelligent evolution strategy and automatically optimizes the process variables of the injection moulding machine.
