In this study the dynamic behaviour and vibration parameters of Injection Moulding Machine Base Structure was performed by analysing the structure numerically as well as experimentally. Modal analysis and FRF analysis performed numerically to find the mode pattern, natural frequencies and critical points. Vibration parameters are measured by performing experimentation using FFT analyser and the data was taken by using BK (Bruel & kjaer) Connect software. The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analyzer is used to transform the continuous time domain data to continuous frequency domain data. The experimental results show that structure is vibrating high at clamping unit location along x-direction. Vibration level can be controlled at that particular location by increasing the stiffness of the structure.
