Futaba Corporation - In-mold Measurement System, Futaba MMS

A sensor installed inside the mold of an injection molding machine, along with a dedicated amplifier, measures the pressure, temperature, and flow rate of the resin, as well as the surface temperature of the mold.

[Measurement items]
◾️Pressure, temperature, and flow rate of the resin
◾️Surface temperature of the mold
◾️Mold opening measurement
◾️Flow front detection

[Utilization]
◾️ Detecting molding defects
◾️Preventing molding defects
Prevent defects caused by burrs and gases by setting appropriate “mold clamping force” and “injection pressure”
◾️When molding conditions change
If conditions change due to the replacement of the molding machine or a change in installation location, saved waveform data from successful production runs can be used to adjust the molding conditions to reproduce similar waveforms, ensuring consistent product quality.
◾️Setting a mold maintenance schedule based on data
◾️Reducing defects such as short shots
◾️Setting optimal molding conditions
