In-line process measurements for injection moulding control. In-line rheology and primary injection phase process measurements for injection moulding of semi-crystalline thermoplastics, using instrumented computer monitored injection moulding machines, for potential use in closed loop process control

In-line rheological and process measurements are studied, during the primary injection phase, as a potential aid to closed loop process control for injection moulding. The feasibilities of attaining rheological and process measurements of sufficient accuracy and precision for use in process control are investigated. The influence of rheological and process measurements on product quality are investigated for semi-crystalline thermoplastic materials. A computer based process and machine parameter monitoring system is utilised to provide accurate and precise process data for analysis
