Abstract :
Injection molding is an iterative manufacturing process entailing low operational costs. Quality control plays an important role in this process. To improve the efficiency of quality control measures, we propose a model-free optimization (MFO) method as a replacement for traditional model-based techniques. The simplex search method is incorporated in the MFO, and part weight and dimension are separately used as quality indices. Efficient performance is verified by a number of demonstrative experiments on an industrial injection molding machine.
