Injection process data

A team of researchers wants to use data from an injection molding process to study settings for machines that maximize one type of strength of a plastic part. The variables include controls on the machines, different plastic formulas, and the injection molding machines.

You can use this data to demonstrate Discover Key Predictors with TreeNet^® Regression.

Machine	The machine that created the insulation: 1, 2, 3, or 4
Formula	Formula1 or Formula2
Injection Pressure	Injection pressure: 75 or 150
Injection Temperature	Injection temperature: 85 or 100
Cooling Temperature	Cooling temperature: 25 or 45
Melt Temperature Zone 1	The temperature at zone 1 of the injection nozzle
Melt Temperature Zone 2	The temperature at zone 2 of the injection nozzle
Melt Temperature Zone 3	The temperature at zone 3 of the injection nozzle
Melt Temperature Zone 4	The temperature at zone 4 of the injection nozzle
Melt Temperature Zone 5	The temperature at zone 5 of the injection nozzle
Mold Temperature	The temperature setting for inside the mold during the injection process
Change Position	The distance of the screw when the process changes from flow control to pressure control
Screw cushion	The amount of material in the barrel in front of the screw
Screw Rotation Speed	How fast the screw rotates during the process
Hold Pressure	The hold pressure setting on the injection machine
Back Pressure	The back pressure on the screw
Drying Temperature	The temperature inside the dryer for the part
