IntelliMold Process Control for Plastic Processes
IntelliMold is ...
- A Process control method that provides real-time, automated closed-loop, integrated melt control to plastic molding processes.
- The first injection molding technology to measure and control via pressure and temperature inside the mold cavity.
- A technology having broad application in plastic molding as in medical products, telecommunications, computer, aerospace, laminate injection molding, automative, ...
- A molding method based on the principle that you cannot control what you cannot measure, this technology uses pressure transducers inside the mold cavity and nozzle to measure and control the molding process in real time through closed-loop control. Every two milliseconds or less, data is taken to ensure a pre-determined flow behavior.
The IntelliMold process is currently used by many manufacturers including Collins and Aikman, the largest injection molder in North America.
Capabilities:
- Improves process repeatability
- Enhances surface appearance
- Increases part quality
- Reduces internal molding stresses
- Reduces warp
- Increases mechanical strength
- Reduces flash
- Reduces cycle time
- Decreases scrap rate
- Can be used to produce a range of low-cost, soft-touch plastics
