Thin-walled moulding technology has attracted increasing attention, particularly in electronic packing applications. The injection moulding of shallow, thin-walled parts with a thickness of 0.7 mm was performed using three types of materials from polypropylene, PP (PP, PP + 50 wt% wood composite, and PP + 10 wt% glass fibre composite). The highest deflection resulting from PP + 50 wt% wood does not occur in the critical area of the thin-walled part compared with PP + 10 wt% glass fibre. In addition, the results revealed that the warpage at the midpoint of the part surface injected using PP + 50 wt% wood is 0.04 mm lower than the value of 0.08 mm obtained when injected using PP + 10 wt% glass fibre. The warpage was hypothesised to result from the residual stress caused by nonuniform volumetric shrinkages formed during the solidification phase.

Injection Moulding Process

Warpage deflection is one of the common pitfalls in plastic injection moulding which is always affected the quality and accuracy of the plastic products. It occurs due to the influences of mould temperature during injection moulding process and it is related to the number of cooling system existed in the mould. Therefore, this paper studies the effect of cooling channels on warpage of dumbbell plastic part having different number of cooling channel using Moldflow software. Warpage analysis was run using four and eight cooling channels. Parameters involved in this study are injection time, packing time, melt temperature and mould temperature. The result of warpage from simulation analysis was projected on the graphic having different colour which is presented the actual value of warpage. It is found from warpage simulation result that the maximum warpage for four cooling channels is 1.283mm and the maximum warpage for eight cooling channels is 1.280mm. It shows that the increasing of the number of cooling channel from four to eight channels in the injection mould reduces the warpage deflection about 0.2%. Thus, the result shows that the number of cooling system in the mould plays an important role on the quality of plastic part during injection moulding process.

This paper contains a description of tests including the simulation of the injection moulding of thin-walled products. The simulation was designed to analyse the potential impact of processing conditions and cooling conditions on the defects of thin-walled products of the body of the syringe. In order to obtain the correct results, the analysis was based on a simulation comparison with the data obtained after the injection mouldings were produced. Four cases were considered - parameters with reduced injection pressure and absence of pressure push, with a reduced temperature of the injection mould. The test results were analysed in conditions compliant with the recommendations of the production card and with the parameters optimised by computational algorithms of the computer programme. Simulations were carried out using the Simcon CadMould 3D-F programme. The paper describes the construction of a thin-walled body, which is the main segment of a medical instrument - a medical syringe. Also described in the paper are the process of injection of polymer materials and the characteristics of the production of medical syringes. In addition the computer programme software for the simulation of production processes was presented.

Material Input

The possibility of using Cadmould software to simulate the filling behaviour of a natural rubber compound during an injection moulding process was investigated. For the simulation process, the determination of required material input data involving the rheological and cure kinetics data of the designed rubber compound were conducted. It was discovered that the acquired data were able to function as reliable material input data as they were comparable with related data available in the Cadmould software materials database. Verification of the simulated filling profiles by experimental short shots specimens showed that the Cadmould Rubber Package was able to predict the realistic filling behaviour of the formulated natural rubber compound inside the mould cavity when the measured material data were utilized. Whereas, the usage of available material database from the software failed to model the mould filling progression of the intended natural rubber compound.
