International Conference on Engineering and Natural Science (ICENS 2016), Sarajevo, Bosnia And Herzegovina, 25 - 28 May 2016
This study has been done to increase the effect of
the cooling stage which is one of the most critic stages during plastic
injection moulding. A practical way for conformal cooling canal has been
presented to increase the production quality and reduce the production
time. Firstly, a conformal cooling canal
surface to the cavity surface has been created to produce this system. The roots which have been created by
offsetting the edge of surface have been converted to cooling canals. An
algorithm has been developed to preserve the distance between the canals and
the distance between mold canals for the plastic parts which have a complicated
geometry. The cooling performance of
these cooling canals has been examined by conducting numerical analysis. It has
been noticed that the cycle time has decreased by increasing the cooling effect
with conformal cooling canals
