manufacturing the best quality plastic parts,” says Peter Gardner, Business Director at LS Mtron Injection Molding Machine North America. The AI Molding Assistant learns the optimal conditions when setting the initial moulding process, automatically reducing the deviations in manufacturing efficiency that can occur due to human error. Once programmed it can set and repeat the most optimised moulding process while only requiring simple and intuitive operator intervention. In a recent lab test, LS Mtron showed that machine operators who used the AI Molding Assistant were able to set up the optimal condi- tions for good products 23% faster on average
factors in the quality of injection molded parts is maintaining constant weight, but several factors, including changes in temperature and humidity at the moulding facility or changes in the physical properties of resin can contribute to weight change in a moulded product. To correct a change in part weight Smart Weight Control alters the processing conditions in real time to correct the issue. The system can automatically correct for injection pressure fluctuations or resin or compound inconsistencies. Smart Weight Control uses the software of LS
Mtron’s injection moulding machine controller to calculate weight differentials. By calibrating product weight fluctuations and changing process
