System Analysis and Morphological Classification of Procedures and Molds for Injection Molding

Abstract The theoretical foundation of system analysis is given after historical development of the problem. The key concepts and the technical systems of things are discussed. Based on investigated procedures of injection molding of polymers and other matters a general definition of injection molding is given. This enables us to work out the general model of injection molding of matter, as well as the system analysis of molds for injection molding. From this analysis, it follows that the mold has different functions: primary shaping of the product as well as structuring on the molecular and supramolecular level. The mold is at the same time a very complicated and complex technical system of things. The morphological classification of different systems gives the basis for better process control.
