우리나라는 신발 생산 특히 부품소재 부분에서 세계적인 경쟁력을 갖추고 있는 것으로 평가되고 있으며, 이 중 E.V.A midsole은 가볍고 충격흡수성 등과 같은 특성이 매우 우수하여 샌달의 midsole 부품으로 널리 사용되고 있지만 현재의 midsole 제조방식은 생산성의 한계에 직면하고 있다. 즉, 패턴 갑피(upper)와 Phylon mold를 각각 생산한 후 별도의 공정에서 두 제품을 접착하여 샌달을 만들기 때문에 두 제품을 따로 생산하므로 현재와 같은 방식의 제조에 의한 기존 방식의 샌달은 제작비용의 증가 및 생산성 저하 등의 여러 가지 문제점을 가지고 있어 보다 새로운 일체형 자동화 사출 mold에 의한 샌달 제조방식의 필요성이 절실한 실정에 있다.(중략)

Mold-marking industries currently demands to reduce the tooling costs and time in mold making and to improve the productivity and quality in injection molding process. These problems can be easily solved by the laminated injection mold which is made by laser cutting metal sheets and bonding them by the brazing. Comparing with the conventional mold making technology which mainly depends on the machining, the new thchnology enables an arvitary design of cooling circuit whithout any restrictions of geometry. Therefore, it will offer high production tata of the injection molding processes. This paper evaluates the conventional and laminated injection mold making processes with a simple molding geometry, and also the cooling efficienty of the kinds of mold with the filling and cooling analyses. The results show that the laminated injection mold process takes much shorter time in tooling and cooling, and distributes temperatures more uniformly than the conventional one.

The design of injection molded polymeric parts has been done empirically, since it requires profound knowledge about the moldability and causal effects on the properties of the part, which are not available to designers through current CAD systems. An interactive computer-based design system is developed in order to realize the concept of rational design for the productivity and quality of mold making. The knowledge-based CAD system is constructed by adding the knowledge -base module for mold feature synthesis and appropriate CAE programs for mold design analysis in order to provide designers, at the initial design stage, with comprehensive process knowledge for feature synthesis, performance analysis and feature-based geometric modeling. A knowledge-based CAD system is a new tool which enables the concurrent design with integrated and balanced design decisions at the initial design stage of injection molding.

기어는 중요한 핵심 기계요소 중 하나로서 기계적 물성이 강화된 엔지니어링 플라스틱의 개발과 제품의 성능 향상 및 소형화, 경량화, 저소음화 등의 소비자 요구를 만족시키기 위한 노력에 편승하여 정밀도가 높은 플라스틱 기어에 대한 생산 요구가 증대되고 있는 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 시력 측정 장치인 자동굴절검사기용 디스크 기어에 대하여 변형을 최소화하기 위한 성형조건 최적화를 수행하였다. 사출 공정의 주요 공정변수를 사출온도, 충진시간과 보압압력, 금형온도로 정하고 다구치 방법에 의해 성형 해석으로 예측된 변형량을 분석한 결과 사출온도와 보압압력이 원판형 기어의 Z방향 변형에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다.

물체공간의 한점에서 출발하여 광학계에 입사한 광속은 전부 상공간의 한점에서 집속되고 물체공간의 점 과 상공간의 점은 1:1로 대응해야 하나 현실의 광학계는 필히 수차가 존재하기때문에 이상 결상을 맺지 못다. 이러한 원인으로 생기는 수차를 통상의 방법으로 제거 할 수 없을때 비구면 LENS를 사용한다. 비구 면 LENS는 축대칭성을 갖고 단면형상이 다항식으로 표현되는 곡면을 갖는 LENS로 종래의 구면체로 구성 된 광학계에서 보정될 수 없었던 수차를 근본적으로 제거한다. 또한 비구면 LENS를 사용하므로써 화질 의 향상을 기할 수 있고 LENS 매수를 줄임으로써 LENS계 전체의 COMPACT 화, COST DOWN, 중량경감이 가능한 잇점이 있다. 지금까지 이러한 장점이 있는 비구면 LENS가 사용되지 못했던 것은 설계기술보다는 생산기 술에 있었는데, 최근 비구면 LENS 가공이가능한 기계와 LASER를 이용한 측정기술, MOLD MASTER에 의한 사출기술이 발전함에따라 PLASTIC LENS의 양산이 가능하게 되었다. 본 고에서는 신 제품 개발능력 확보와 제품경쟁력 향상을 목적으로 개발한 비구면 LENS 금형의 초정밀가공 정도 (비구면 가공정도 : FORM ERROR 0.2 .mu. m 이하) 달성방법과 측정평가에 대해 논했다.

The shrinkage and the warpage of the moulded part are influenced by the design of the product and injection mould. In a flat part with a partly thick volume, the warpage of the flat part is created from the difference of the shrinkage between thin and thick regions. The warpage of the flat part with a partly thick volume can be reduced by a proper design of the cooling system in the injection mould. The goal of this paper is to design properly cooling channels of injection mould to manufacture a flat part with a partly thick volume. The conformal cooling channel is adopted to improve cooling characteristics of a region with the thick volume. The linear cooling channels are assigned to the other region. The proper design of the conformal cooling channels is obtained from three-dimensional injection molding analysis for various design alternatives. The moulding characteristics of the designed mould with both conformal and linear cooling channels are compared to those of the mould with linear cooling channels from viewpoints of temperature, shrinkage and warpage of the moulded part using numerical analysis. Injection mould with both conformal and linear cooling channels for the flat part with a partially thick volume is fabricated. In addition, injection moulding experiments are performed using the fabricated mould. From the results of the injection moulding experiments, it has been shown that the designed mould can successfully fabricate the flat part with a partially thick volume.

Ftheta Lens, whose image height is proportional to its field view angle, is one of the most important parts in Laser Scanning Unit(LSU). In this paper $f{\theta}$ lens design, mold production and modification method of lens design and mold are introduced. Lens design was carried out with Zemax and Special Toric surfaces were applied for lens surfaces to minimize distortion both in main and sub scanning directions. And a high precision machine with 1nm resolution was used to fabricate lens mold cores. After injection the lens was evaluated and the difference from design was examined. This difference was compensated by modifying lens design and new lens mold cores were made according to modified lens design to obtain the quality of original design.

The molding process can be divided into five separate steps: plastification, injection, holding, cooling, and finally ejection. In the plastic injection molding, the effect factor such as mold temperature, injection speed, packing pressure and inhomogeneous cooling under packing process affects both the article dimension and physical characteristics. Especially, the packing pressure is the most critical factor to affect molded articles quality among the packing parameters. In this paper, the CAE simulation considering the molding condition is performed to predict the faulty cause which appears in the packing process between cavities of injection molding machine. From the results of CAE simulation, the packing phenomena according to the product form and the gate position was investigated to improve the article quality and minimize the various molding defects. The effect of packing pressure and gate number on the injection molding was discussed.

This study aims to develop an efficient mold structure for the injection molding of a subminiature lens, using shell-type runners instead of traditional cylindrical runners. While the shell runner has the advantage of shorter cooling time due to its thinner geometry, this smaller thickness causes an increase in injection pressure. In this study, the design of the shell runner was modified to contain multiple holes for the purpose of reducing injection pressure. Numerical analyses were performed for shell runners of various hole-shapes, and the resulting filling and cooling characteristics were discussed; the rhombic hole showed the best result for both filling and cooling characteristics. Subsequently, injection molding experiments were performed using an injection mold fabricated based on the rhombic design. The lens parts were successfully molded with highly-reduced cycle time and without degradation of part quality.
