Utilization of cluster analysis in the multi-dimensional evaluation of mould surface quality in product correlation

Abstract

Quality assessment of mould surfaces, of the products they produce is often done in both scientific and industrial practice separately and without considering the links of the individual descriptive parameters. The present article will describe how to find amplitude, frequency parameters that will be grouped into so-called parametric sets. Each parameter set will be characterised by its values for both the mould and the product it produces. The final step is to apply cluster analysis and to determine the similarity of the individual sets of parameters between the form and its product. Therefore, the presented methodology will provide complex correlation evaluation of products and mould not by individual parameters but within the whole set of parametric sets. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
