| Summary: | Injection molding is probably the most important method of processing of consumer and
industrial goods, and is performed everywhere in the world. In this paper, Taguchi Methods was
used to define the optimization of process parameter for an injection molding machine to produce a
dumbbell product from High-density Polyethylene (HDPE) + natural fiber (Kenaf). Taguchi
Methods with L9-34 approaches will be used in this work where two different formulation of
material will be tested to find the best formulation and its parameter setting. Here, an orthogonal
array (OA) and signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio are employed to analyze the effect of injection molding
parameter. The significant of formulation and parameter setting from injection molding will be
evaluated through the strength value of the specimen. Standard ISO R527-2 test method will be
used. Results show that changes in the parameter setting will give different tensile strength value.
The optimum parameter setting was set based on the S/N ratio. For each formulation, optimum
parameter setting has been achieved by using highest mean S/N ratio and it can be calculated
manually or by using Minitab software. |
