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.
