DETERMINATION OF THE INFLUENCE OF PARAMETERS OF INJECTION MOLDING USING THE TAGUCHI METHODS
Injection molding is one of the most popular polymer processing methods due to its high production rate as well as its ability to produce very complex geometries at very low cost and within few seconds. In this the paper, optimal injection moulding conditions for minimum shrinkage during moulding are found by technique (Taguchi method). Taguchi method has two main instruments, which are signalto-noise (S/N) ratio and orthogonal arrays. S/N ratios were used for determining the optimum combinations of the process conditions for shrinkage. Finals, optimum levels of the input parameters that minimize shrinkage, for both materials are determined
