thank you for your very interesting presentation dealing with image based control of the fiber injection molding process.
In your presentation, the effectiveness of the image based process control has been confirmed by the increase of the fabricated preform weight reproducibility when the process control is applied to the fiber injection molding.
Are you considering also to carry out a verification of the mechanical properties obtained for the fabricated preform material, when using the process control system, in order to make sure that the quality of the product is in line with the product specifications?
Indeed the pictures from the process monitoring system are used to do an evaluation of the preform uniformity and fiber orientation. These properties affect the mechanical properties and can therfor be used as a quality control. As a standard no tensile tests e.g. are performed but have been in the past to qualify the process and material.
