    Course Description

    This workshop follows a new product from part design, thru tool build, thru process development, thru optimization of the process, including auxiliaries. It is intended for engineering level personnel that are involved in transferring/start-up molds from the tool shop to the production floor. Attendees will learn about the levels of risk involved in launching any new tool and how to reduce those risks to create a mold that will produce quality parts soon after introducing it to the plant floor. Students will leave this course with a complete understanding of qualifying a mold on a machine independent basis using data.

    The goal of this course is to demonstrate how to prevent bad part designs and bad molds from going into production. This can be achieved by challenging the mold early and hard so that its weaknesses can be quickly defined and corrected before it must produce parts in a production environment.


    Course Highlights

    • Learn to evaluate process capability from the part design
    • Perform machine qualification tests: Load Sensitivity, Pressure Response, Injection Speed Linearity, Dynamic Check Ring Repeatability Test, and Clamp / Mold Deflection Study
    • Identify mold performance requirements and actual machine performance and learn how to select the best machine for the mold
    • Develop machine independent process conditions
    • Establish alarm limits for ongoing process monitoring
    • Learn to evaluate a mold before the build phase to identify weaknesses
    • Build and document a robust DECOUPLED II and DECOUPLED III process and process template that can be repeated/matched on any properly sized, production capable injection molding machine
    • Perform a melt temperature test
    • Perform a shear-rate viscosity study for any mold / material combination to determine desired injection speed (plastic flow rate)
    • Perform a gate seal study to determine optimal hold time
    • Perform a dynamic check ring repeatability test
