US 11,230,043 B2 · Method for setting molding conditions of injection-molding equipment

Abstract

A system for setting injection-molding conditions and a method for setting actual molding conditions of an injection-molding machine are disclosed. The system includes a computer and an injection-molding equipment. The computer is configured to simulate, via computer-aided simulation software, a virtual molding using a plurality of design parameters to generate a plurality of provisional molding conditions. The injection-molding equipment is associated with the computer and configured to perform at least one trial molding using the provisional molding conditions to obtain a plurality of intermediate molding conditions. The computer optimizes the provisional molding conditions to obtain actual molding conditions in accordance with the intermediate molding conditions.

Dependent claims

A method for setting actual molding conditions of an injection-molding machine, comprising:

conducting a virtual molding to generate a plurality of provisional molding conditions;
after conducting the virtual molding, performing at least one trial molding using the plurality of provisional molding conditions to obtain a plurality of intermediate molding conditions;
and
after performing the at least one trial molding, optimizing the plurality of provisional molding conditions generated in the virtual molding, to obtain the actual molding conditions, by taking into consideration the intermediate molding conditions obtained in the at least one trial molding if at least one of the intermediate molding conditions is not between an upper threshold and a lower threshold derived from the corresponding provisional molding condition.
