Analysis of Injection Moulding Process Parameters on PVC Material via Taguchi-ANOVA

Abstract

This paper deals with the development of prediction model for injection moulding machine

using Taguchi. In this work, all the process parameters namely filling time (FT), refill time

(RFT), tonnage time (TT) and ejector retraction time (ERT) are modeled using Taguchi

method. PVC (polyvinylchloride) taken as process material in this experimental work under

optimal working conditions. The influence of filling time (FT), refill time (RFT), tonnage time

(TT) and ejector retraction time (ERT) on cycle time (CT) is examined in the process. The

experimented result is examined through ANOVA. From the basis of experimented result via

Taguchi method, it is found that filling time (FT=23 sec) and tonnage time (TT=.68 sec) have

significant effect on output parameter (CT) and the other parameters refill time (RFT) and

ejector retraction time (ERT) have insignificant effect.
