Abstract

An injection molding machine is a machine that uses an injection process into a mold to make a product according to the shape of the mold. In this study the aim was to apply the injection molding machine control system method which is still conventional at CV. Guna Teknik, where the previous method was no longer effective to be applied today. The design involves 2 core processes of an injection molding machine, namely the heater and injection processes. In this process, the heater has the role of melting/heating plastic materials, while in the injection process, the process of injecting thermoplastic material into the mold occurs with the help of a hydraulic arm and screw rotating in a barrel containing a heat band element and a product is formed in the mold. Before finally the product can be taken and used. In running this automatic injection molding machine, we add a control system component in the form of a thermocouple sensor which is used to control the heater process and add a limit switch which is useful for controlling the injection process. In addition, we use a PLC (programmable logic controller) to control all existing components. on injection molding machines and implementing HMI (Human machine Interface) which is useful for operating a machine and also for monitoring the process flow of injection molding machines when running production processes. By following the process flow, a PLC-based injection molding machine design program is created, it is hoped that it will be more efficient in the control and repair process so as to save time and operational costs when damage occurs.
