ELECTRIC INJECTION MOLDING MACHINE COURSE
Electric molding machines now account for over 50% of new machine sales. There are several reasons for their popularity; more precise control, lower electricity consumption and potentially faster cycles are among the reasons. But along with these and other advantages are potential problems. These machines require an understanding of this new technology by the operating personnel to gain the benefits and avoid very expensive mistakes. In short, they require more knowledgeable personnel at all levels. This requires electric injection molding machine training.
Course Description: Paulson offers a three-lesson Electric Injection Molding Machine course. This course integrates into Paulson’s The Technical Injection Molding Levels One and Two training courses.
Molders who already have The Technical Injection Molding courses and are interested in Electric molding machines will want to integrate this new course into their training program. Others may just want to start out with just the All-Electric course.
