HOT RUNNER MOLDING SOLUTIONS

Course Description: This course uses the latest in 3-D technology and digital video imaging to go inside the mold and hot runner and examine the many components that make up the system. In addition to examining the parts of the hot runner and how plastic flows through the hot runner system, this program also demonstrates effective set-up and operating techniques and procedures when hot runner molding.

To make the course more hands-on for the molder, the later lessons review recommended troubleshooting and safety techniques and explore, in detail, proper hot runner set-up, start-up and shutdown procedures. As a bonus, the final lesson in the course identifies common molding problems and describes procedures to help your personnel maintain and optimize your hot runner injection molding system.page1image2696

Developed in conjunction with leading manufacturers of hot runner systems, this fully interactive five-lesson course provides more than 9 hours of training using full motion digital video and detailed 3-D animations and graphics.

This technology takes the employee inside the hot runner system to examine the many hot runner components including the manifold, nozzle and gate. Important start- up and steady-state operating techniques specifically for the hot runner system are demonstrated, including ways to optimize the production run and how to work safely around a molding machine equipped with a hot runner system.

Recommended For: Personnel who maintain and optimize your hot runner injection molding system
