380V Vector Motor Control of AC Drives for Plastic Injection Molding
Injection molding is a manufacturing technique for making parts from plastic material. Heated, fluid plastic is injected at high pressure into a mold, which is the inverse of the desired shape. The steel or aluminum mold is machined with the contours of the final product. Injection molding is used for create a variety of parts, like plastic milk cartons, containers, bottle caps, automotive dashboards, pocket combs, and most other plastic products available today. Injection molding is the most common method of part manufacturing. AC drives will commonly be used to power the hydraulic oil pressure pump for operating the mold works of an injection-molding machine. Servo drives can be used to operate the injection screw, as precision control is often required for the injection step. Significant energy savings are often realized by replacing hydraulics with electric drive systems on injection molding machines.
Application Challenges
· High cost for initial tooling
· Energy savings
· Durability for continuous operation
· Cyclical load conditions
· Protection of expensive molds and screws
· Quick restart in the event of power loss

Tips:
A variable-frequency drive (VFD) is a system for controlling the rotational speed of an alternating current (AC) electric motor by controlling the frequency of the electrical power supplied to the motor. A variable frequency drive is a specific type of adjustable-speed drive. Variable-frequency drives are also known as adjustable-frequency drives (AFD), variable-speed drives (VSD), AC drives, microdrives or inverter drives. Since the voltage is varied along with frequency, these are sometimes also called VVVF (variable voltage variable frequency) drives.
