Abstract

Injection moulding machine is a machine produce varies type and size of plastic equipment’s. Plastic industries using this injection moulding machine for 24 hours to increased their productivity. Injection moulding machine have a moulding in it. This moulding will print out the plastic equipment with the type and size that have been set in it. The moulding is the important element in the injection machine which is so expensive. Chiller is a system that the release heat from a liquid or a system that absorption refrigeration cycle. These mouldings need a chiller to cool the system because the moulding releases high temperature heat. The injection machine will be monitored by the workers 24 hours because if the chiller have problem and does not supply enough water or does not supply water cool enough, the moulding will be crack in high pressure heat. This will cause high budget to replace it. There are no protections to the injection moulding machine in the industries now. The result with this new injection moulding protection system controller, the injection moulding machine and the chiller can work 24 hours without any monitoring and risk. This injection moulding protection system controller will stop the heater in the injection moulding machine which give the heat to the moulding if the chiller have problem and does not supply enough water or does not supply water cool enough. This system also will give an email alert to the technicians or to the engineers through their smart phones if the system has problem. This injection moulding protection system controller also shut down the chiller after 2 minutes the heater had been shut down. This will save the waste energy that will be used by the chiller after the heater is off. In methodology, first the hardware sketch has been developed and with the sketch, the stimulation circuit is been design in EKTS software. Next, the hardware system been implement and adds on with the Arduino email software coding to send email alert. In results, the hardware system and the Arduino software with the email alert massage is been shown. The analysis of the system is also been shown in graph. As conclusion, all the objective have been fulfil in this project and the future work of this project is to develop an addition coding to allow the Arduino to received signal from the mobile phone to on the backup chiller if the chiller have problem.
