The network "WinInMo" develops solutions for a sustainable and permanently reliable injection moulding process. Goals include energy savings, optimmalization of heating and temperature control circuits and the operational reliability of cooling water circuits. This requires a new conception and development of the thermal installation space, the cooling water treatment and online monitoring of all process parameters. Developments with new biogenic plastics open up additional future market opportunities. CAVITY EYE provides the visualization of the process parameters and supervises the entire injection moulding process.

In industrial environment viscosity measuring is extremely useful, because it gives a lot of data in a short amount of time for the engineers to launch the production easier. Thanks to the measurement a decision can be made about the condition of the raw material and its preparation. In this blog article you can learn about the theoretical background and the procedure of the measurement. We show the viscosity dependence on the temperature with PA6-GF30 material.

During the production of injection moulded products one of the most important and - cycle point of view - longest part is the cooling process. Determines the quality of final product and efficiency of the production (cycle time).

A fairly common problem in injection moulding that there are scrap products because of short shot. Even if only one faulty product is not identified, it can endanger the whole shipment and cause customer complaint resulting profit loss. The Cavity Eye system can help you identify when there is a problem with product, so it can be separated.

The number of the used plastic products are increasing day by day, and with the development of the technical polymers it became possible to replace some of the metal and other (non-polymer) material products. At the moment the automotive industry has the most definitive effect on the market, especially because of the appearance of electric vehicles. In the last 50 years the weight of the polymer product used in vehicles increased about 10-15%, a modern car contains more than 400 kg polymer-based material. These are mostly injection moulded parts, and to be able to ensure better quality, new technical solutions in process control and production are necessary.

In our next article we want to show you by using waterflow monitoring, what kind of data can be obtained and what conclusions can be drawn from them. For this we performed experiments on two identical tempering device with different operating times, and then we compared the results.

In industrial environment viscosity measuring is extremely useful, because it gives a lot of data in a short amount of time for the engineers to launch the production easier. Thanks to the measurement a decision can be made about the condition of the raw material and its preparation.

In the second part of the article we focus on the viscosity measurement process.

In industrial environment viscosity measuring is extremely useful, because it gives a lot of data in a short amount of time for the engineers to launch the production easier. Thanks to the measurement a decision can be made about the condition of the raw material and its preparation.

In the third part of the article we evaluate the measured data.
