SIMULASI DESAIN COOLING SYSTEM DAN RUNNER SYSTEM UNTUK OPTIMASI KUALITAS PRODUK TOP CASE
Abstract
Optimization is a process to achieve ideal result of a product. Even though
from many result of the process of injection molding there still many defect of the
product like Sink mark and shrinkage which is it can be influencing the quality of
the product. Product of the plastic was made in so many ways to avoid negative
effect for the result such as, sink mark and shrinkage. The two defect that
mentioned before caused by filling time and cooling.
This research is computerized based on simulation software Autodesk
Moldflow Insight to predict two failure and to optimize the quality of the product.
Because the insufficient of the plastic product for the engine in motorcycle, so the
researcher doing the study case of the spare part of motorcycle that is top case.
The research begin with 4 experiment, the first step is comparing from the 4
experiment with analyzing fill time. After analyzing the fill time, the next step is
comparing between cooling baffle and cooling conformal. After that the best
result from the comparison was analyzed with Taguchi’s Analyze, the result from
the Taguchi’s Analyzed should be randomizing using matrix orthogonal L9 (33) so
there is 9 experiment with 3 level.
In this case the optimization parameter that used Taguchi’s method already
proven that could minimalized the sink mark and shrinkage. In the other hand
optimization with Taguchi’s method could be used for the parameter for the
product manufacturing that fabricated using injection molding such as top case
product.
