Description
図1は、実施形態に係る射出成形機1の良否判定システム200の構成例を示す模式図である。なお、以下の説明では、射出成形機1の通常の使用状態における上下方向を、射出成形機1においても上下方向として説明し、射出成形機1の通常の使用状態における水平方向を、射出成形機1においても水平方向として説明する。
本実施形態に係る射出成形機1は、射出装置10と、型締装置30とを有しており、射出装置10と型締装置30とは、射出成形機1における下端に配置されるフレーム2上に載置されている。射出成形機1は、射出装置10で成形材料を溶融して可塑化材料にし、射出装置10から射出された可塑化材料を、型締装置30によって冷却・固化することにより、所望の各種の成形品を製造することが可能になっている。
射出成形機1は、射出成形機1の各種制御を行う制御装置100と、オペレータが射出成形機1への入力操作を行う入力部160と、各種情報を表示する表示部170とを有している。入力部160と表示部170とは、共に制御装置100に接続されており、入力部160は、入力操作された情報を制御装置100に伝達する。また、表示部170は、制御装置100から伝達された情報を表示する。入力部160と表示部170とは、別体で構成されていてもよく、または、いわゆるタッチパネル式のディスプレイによって構成されることにより、一体に形成されていてもよい。
本実施形態に係る射出成形機1の良否判定システム200は、以上のような構成を含み、以下、その作用について説明する。射出成形機1は、1回の射出・成形動作を1サイクルとして、この射出・成形動作のサイクルを繰り返し実行する。各サイクルは、成形材料の射出、及び製品の成形のために複数の工程を含む。各サイクルは、例えば、型閉工程、昇圧工程、充填(射出)工程、保圧工程、計量工程、型開工程、押出工程を含む。
まず、モニタリングデータが所定値を満たしているか否かの判定の制御に用いる、表示部170に表示するモニタリングデータ判定画面50について説明する。図3は、モニタリングデータ判定画面50の説明図である。モニタリングデータが所定値を満たしているか否かの判定は、図3に示すようなモニタリングデータ判定画面50を、表示部170に表示しながら制御装置100で行う。図3に示すモニタリングデータ判定画面50は、モニタリングデータ名称表示部51と、基準値入力部52と、許容値入力部53と、アラーム選択部54とを有している。
次に、射出成形機1による成形品の成形時に、モニタリングデータが所定値を満たしているか否を判定しながら射出成形機1の動作の状態を監視する際の制御の流れについて説明する。
成形品に不良品が発生したか否かをモニタリングデータに基づいて判定する際には、まず、当該判定方法のベースとなる基礎データの生成を行う。
図6は、成形品の良否判定に用いるパラメータを設定する手順を示すフロー図である。図7は、良否判定のパラメータを設定する際に用いる良否判定設定親画面60の模式図である。基礎データを生成した後、成形品の良否判定に用いるパラメータを設定する際には、まず、図7に示すような良否判定設定親画面60を表示部170に表示し、良否判定設定親画面60を用いて行う。良否判定設定親画面60は、入力部160を用いて制御装置100を操作することにより、良否判定設定親画面60に関するプログラムを呼び出して表示部170に表示する。
図8は、良否判定設定子画面70の模式図である。良否判定設定親画面60で設定ボタン62を押すと、制御装置100は、押した設定ボタン62に対応する良否判定設定子画面70を表示部170に表示する。良否判定設定子画面70は、例えば、図8に示すように、不良情報表示部71と、抽出期間入力部72と、良否判定用データ表示部73と、サンプルショット数表示部74と、不良時パラメータ表示部75と、判定用パラメータヒストグラム表示部76と、判定推奨値表示部77とを有している。
影響度=(良品時モニタリングデータの平均値-不良時モニタリングデータの平均値)/良品時モニタリングデータの標準偏差σ・・・(1)
また、高影響度モニタリングデータ抽出部123は、不良種類に対する影響度が高いモニタリングデータを抽出する際には、相関係数の高いモニタリングデータ同士が同じグループになるようにグルーピングし、同一グループからは最も影響度が高いモニタリングデータ1つのみを抽出する。
次に、射出成形機1で成形した成形品に不良品が発生したか否かをモニタリングデータに基づいて判定する制御に用いる、表示部170に表示する良否判定画面80について説明する。図10は、良否判定画面80の説明図である。射出成形機1で成形した成形品に不良品が発生したか否かの判定は、図10に示すような良否判定画面80を、表示部170に表示しながら制御装置100で行う。図10に示す良否判定画面80は、不良名称表示部81と、判定閾値入力部82と、アラーム選択部83とを有している。
良否判定設定親画面60と良否判定設定子画面70とを用いて、成形品の良否判定を行う際におけるパラメータを設定することにより、判定閾値が定まったら、成形品に不良品が発生したか否かの判定を行う制御が可能となる。次に、射出成形機1で成形した成形品に不良品が発生したか否かの判定をモニタリングデータに基づいて行う制御について説明する。
以上の実施形態に係る射出成形機1の良否判定システム200は、製品となる成形品を成形する前に、成形品が良品であるか不良品であるかの判定結果とモニタリングデータとが紐付けられた基礎データから、良品時モニタリングデータと不良時モニタリングデータとをそれぞれ複数抽出し、抽出したモニタリングデータのうち、不良品の不良種類に対する影響度が高いモニタリングデータである高影響度モニタリングデータを抽出する。その後、射出成形機1によって製品となる成形品を成形する際に、高影響度モニタリングデータと同じ種類のモニタリングデータの判定用パラメータである成形時パラメータを算出し、算出した成形時パラメータと、成形時パラメータに対する閾値である判定閾値とを比較することにより、射出成形機1で成形した成形品に不良品が発生したか否かの判定を行う。
なお、上述した実施形態では、基礎データは、基礎データの生成を行う手順において成形品の検品をユーザが目視で行い、成形品が良品であるか不良品であるかを制御装置100に対してユーザが入力することにより基礎データの生成を行っているが、射出成形機1で成形を行った際に、制御装置100が自動的に基礎データを生成するようにしてもよい。
