 Attendance Prerequisite:
Passed ProMolder 1 or 75% or better on SkillCheck Level 1 and 60% or better on SkillCheck Level 2.
Fee:
$2,695 for five-day class
Who should attend this class?
Experienced molding technicians and molding engineers who want to achieve a higher level of expertise and can take complete responsibility for setup, operations and troubleshooting.
Course Summary:
ProMolder 2 combines classroom instruction with hands-on learning by conducting 50% of the class on the shop floor. The emphasis of this program is to establish solid molding practices and understanding of set-up, optimizing cycles and analyzing molding problems. As part of the certification, attendees must pass multiple machine and written tests.
Topics covered include:
- Nature of Plastics
- Inside the Injection Molded Part
- Four Primary Plastics Conditions: Processing from the Plastic’s Point of View
- Plastic Flow Behavior
- Inside the Molding Machine
- Inside the Mold
- Molding Machine Operations
- Universal Processing Parameters: Scientific Based Solutions
Attendees must apply these techniques by developing robust processes using screw-based VPT techniques. Graduates of this program will have a greater understanding of plastic behavior in the machine and mold and gain greater knowledge of the effects of each machine control. Valuable hands-on experience will be gained in developing robust processes for actual molding jobs using proven scientific based solutions. |
