This training is in no way endorsed by RJG, Inc.

Mold Deflection Sensor
The new Mold Deflection Sensor captures valuable information that allows you to:

  • Establish truly Machine Independent Process Templates
  • Resolve issues with parting line flash
  • Minimize part dimensional issues which are a result of changes in mold deflection
  • Allow analysis of differences between deflections in various machines and develop a systematic procedure for normalizing them
  • Resolve clamp force adequacy issues
  • Resolve mold robustness issues
  • Insure correlations of part characteristics to key molding variables

2.5mm Flush Mount Sensor Installation Kit
Verify your flush mount sensors are properly installed with RJG's 2.5 mm Flush Mount Sensor Installation/Check Kit. This kit contains all the tools and documentation needed to perform and check installations of RJG digital (LP-F-25-30k) and analog (6159) 2.5 mm flush mount pressure sensors. Sensor accuracy is dependent on proper installation. Undersized or non-concentric sensor pockets can cause preload, inaccurate readings or damage to a sensor. RJG designed this new kit to avoid these problems thus ensuring reliable sensor performance.

Monitor Cavity Pressure on Cores and Ejector Sleeves
RJG's new piezoelectric load washers monitor cavity pressure on cores and ejector sleeves. For ejector sleeves, the core pin extends through the load washer so that only pressure from the ejector sleeve is monitored. For cores, water or bubblers can flow through the hole in the load washer. A variety of sizes are available to suit most applications. To find out which load washer will work best for you, contact customer support.
