A KNOWLEDGE- BASED SYSTEM WITH FUZZY LOGIC FOR THE TUNING OF INJECTION MOULDING MACHINES

摘要

The proposed system aims at a) helping injection moulders to tune the process parameters of an injection moulding machine, b) storing knowledge and experience that can be used later and c) creating an integrated tool with information on materials, process parameters so it etc. The system is based on general guidelines coupled together with expert rules from the users and a fuzzy logic system which is responsible for the intelligent communication with the users. Results show the way the system operates in an industrial environment.
