MOLD TEMPERATURE CONTROL BY PULSED COOLING PROCESS

Abstract

In recent years, there are many new technologies which are applied in injection molding field. One of them is the pulsed cooling method, which is used to improve the cooling process, as well as reduce the molding cycle of plastic part. However, due to the complex of mold structure and the influence of cooling step on the product quality is still not investigated clearly, the pulsed cooling method still has many troubles for the operator. In this paper, by simulation, the effect of mold temperature on the pulsed cooling process is studied. Furthermore, by experiment, simulation results will be verified by the experiment measurement.
