Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'The constant demand for diversified/personalised consumers' goods leads to decrease time-to-market, and to plastic injection molds with smaller batch production, with no stock acceptable for cost and quality reasons. This generates huge productivity losses in the molding industry: - Tool Tuning is too long for tool makers before delivery of a turn key mold. - New production run set-up time is too long and generate too much scraps, due to different “operator and machine” parameters. Many approaches are currently adopted to reduce mold design and production time, but none of them addresses directly the parts productivity enhancement, where “trial & error” is still the most employed engineering approach. The innovative approach of Mold4ProdE is to develop and assess a methodology to tool makers, for them to propose and deliver quicker turn key intelligent molds, to clients with a reasonable extra cost, and offering them significant productivity enhancement. Technically, it aims at applying modern data mining techniques for modelling polymer injection molding process, based on virtual data coming from virtual sensors implemented in a CAD model of the mold. The purpose is to: - optimize the number and position of sensors in the mold - implement and assess the concept “Virtual Mold Signature” by using the data driven models, built from experimental data collected during production runs with sensors embedded in process equipments. Mold4ProdE shall also provide dedicated and optimised components for tool instrumentation, data collection and treatment. The project results will deliver the basis to efficiently use the intelligent moulds. This will move the European mold makers to the knowledge based service industry, identified as the key factor to increase their competitiveness. Project duration is 3 years and involves 12 mold makers, 4 end users, 7 RTD and 2 equipment suppliers, spanning the whole supply chain in more than 5 different application areas with 14 SMEs'
Introduzione (Teaser)
Manufacturing is changing rapidly and plastic injection moulding must keep pace to remain competitive. A new design tool for mould makers will benefit both producers and end users alike with moulds that adapt quickly to new conditions.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
Rapid mass production of identical products has given way to demand for smaller batches of customer-defined pieces, yet customers do not want to wait longer or pay more for these items. Unfortunately, producing custom-made moulds and then setting up and controlling the process parameters to ensure parts that are of high quality and structurally consistent is no easy task. Further, with an increasing number of mould changes daily to accommodate production of small batches, much time and material is wasted in a trial-and-error set-up procedure.
Turnkey intelligent moulds with sensors in the moulding machine providing continuous monitoring and feedback would provide process optimisation and control seamlessly. With funding from the EU, the 'Intelligent mold for productivity enhancement' (http://www.mold4prode.org/ (MOLD4PRODE)) project developed a design tool to enable fast delivery of smart moulds that do the job quickly and effectively.
The knowledge-based system built on extensive process data suggests the optimal type and location of sensors within the mould for plastic injection. It applies data processing technology to information collected from virtual sensors implemented in a computer-aided design model of the mould. In this way, the system understands the way the mould behaves, producing a digital tool signature. It is available as a WebTool application on the project website, as are five training modules on its usage.
MOLD4PRODE has provided an important tool to help mould makers become part of a knowledge-based service industry, a key pillar of increased competitiveness. The end users of the moulds will benefit from decreased scrap, energy consumption and time-to-delivery of new products.
