Application of a capacitive transducer for online part weight prediction and fault detection in injection molding
This article extends the applications of in-mold capacitive transducer to packing stage for on-line part weight prediction and check-ring failure detection for injection molding. Experiments under various conditions show that the proposed on-line part weight prediction is robust and effective, which may pave the way for on-line closed-loop part weight control.
