Category: Injection Moulding of Plastics: Online Courses

From understanding the process to eliminating the causes of defects

Every defective moulded part costs raw material, energy and machine time. This series shows how the injection moulding process works and how to find the real cause of a defect, so that it does not come back on the next shift.

• You understand what happens in the barrel, in the mould and during each stage of the moulding cycle.
• You link the values on the controller screen with the quality of the part.
• You find the cause of a defect with a fixed method instead of changing several parameters at once.

Two courses, one path

Part 1, IM-001: Injection Moulding of Plastics: Introduction to the Technology. Plastics used in injection moulding, design of the injection moulding machine and the mould, the moulding cycle, production preparation, part inspection and typical defects, health and safety at the machine.

Part 2, IM-002: Injection Moulding of Plastics: Defect Diagnosis and Troubleshooting. The logic of diagnosis, raw material and process stability, filling and surface defects, shrinkage, warpage, stresses and cracks, the machine and the mould as sources of problems, cases from production and the diagnostic card.
