Abstract

This invention relates to a method and apparatus for the control of injection molding and, in particular, for determining a suitable time for transfer from injection velocity control to packing pressure control. The invention uses a derivative of, preferably the nozzle pressure, and inputs this to a fuzzy inference system. The fuzzy inference system uses said rules and knowledge to provide a suitable transfer time as an output. It is preferred that the sample pressure is filtered prior to calculation of the derivative.
