Who should attend this class?
High-level technical experts in an injection molding facility, including engineers and production supervisors.
Course Summary:
ProMolder 3 is an intense two-week certification program for molders with expertise who wish to learn and implement the latest in cavity pressure and cavity temperature processing techniques. The class involves 50% machine time and 50% classroom & simulation time. Attendees must pass multiple machine and written exams for certification.
This course will cover the following topics:
Injection Molding Economics
- Cavity Pressure Instrumentation & VPT Processing Methods
- Cavity Temperature Instrumentation & VPT Processing Methods
- Combining Cavity Pressure and Cavity Temperature Methodologies
- Data Interpretation - Cavity Pressure & Cavity Temperature
- Four Primary Plastic Conditions effects on Molded Part Properties
- Controlling Molded Part Dimensions
- Injection Molded Part Problems & Solutions:
 |
– Voids |
– Splay |
|
– Sinks |
– Jetting |
|
– Flash |
– Burn |
|
– Shorts |
– Warp |
|
– Weldlines |
|
Plastic Drying Fundamentals
- Hot Runner Technology
- Process Control & Process Monitoring
- Understanding Cracks & Part Breakage
- Universal Processing Parameters: Scientific Based Solutions
- Machine Benchmarking
Attendees must apply these techniques by developing robust processes using cavity pressure and temperature VPT techniques. Certified attendees will gain a solid understanding of part breakage, developing universal processing parameters, hot runner technology, process control and process monitoring using injection molded instrumentation. |
