Systematic Molding I - 3 Days

Course Prerequisites: None

Systematic Molding I is the first course in RJG's Systematic Molding Series. It is intended for anyone who wants to develop a systematic molding strategy within their organization. The material covered is designed to introduce systematic strategies of injection molding and assumes an understanding of the fundamentals of injection molding. A demonstration lab is included with this course.

What will we cover?

  • Mold and Part Design Considerations
  • The 4 Plastic Variables of Injection Molding
  • Economics of Injection Molding
  • The Molding System
  • The Molding Problem Simply Stated
  • Process Control from the Plastics Point of View
  • Introduction to Instrumentation Strategies
  • Introduction to Cavity Pressure Control
 

Systematic Molding II - 3 Days

Course Prerequisites: Introduction to Systematic DECOUPLED MOLDINGSMor Systematic I course previously offered by RJG, Inc.

Who should attend?

This course is designed for those who have begun the implementation of a systematic molding strategy at their facility and wish to increase their skills. The course content elaborates on the foundation of knowledge provided in the Systematic Molding I course, with increased emphasis on processing techniques. This course will cover the technology of data acquisition and the proper use of instrumented molds, in addition to advanced cooling, drying, and Rigorous Mold Tryout methodologies. A demonstration lab is included with this course.

What will we cover?

  • Instrumenting the Molding Process
  • Reading and Interpreting Graphical Data – Templates
  • Evaluating Molding Machines for World Class Molding
  • Process Control
  • Fundamentals of Drying
  • Mold/ Plastic Cooling
  • Rigorous Mold Tryout
  • Template Matching
  • Process Monitoring and Alarm Setting
 

Systematic Molding for Mold Builders & Tooling Engineers - 3 Days

Who should attend?

This course is specifically intended for designers, mold builders and tooling engineers who are looking to incorporate progressive strategies into the design and build of a mold to ensure robustness. This course has the goal of preventing bad part design and bad molds from getting into production. By challenging both designs and molds early in systematic ways, weaknesses can be quickly defined and corrected before they become costly problems.

What will we cover?

  • Basic part geometry related to processing concerns
  • Review part design complexities
  • Sizing of the mold geometry
  • How the mold design and build affects quality and total product costs
  • Find out how molds can be tried out systematically to hit the quality bulls-eye
  • How plastic behaves as it travels through the stages of a process
  • Systematic troubleshooting to separate material, process, design, and mold problems
  • Why hot runner molds are fundamentally different
  • Cooling capabilities
