     Goals of this Course:

    • Learn to process from the plastic’s point of view

    • Understand what scientific molding really means

    • Reduce scrap rates, downtime and cycle times

  • Lessons Included:

    Lesson 1 – Molding Machine Parts and Operation

    • In this lesson we describe the basic parts and operation of an injection molding machine. Both electric and hydraulic machines are covered.

    Lesson 2 – Mold Types and Components

    • Injection molds produce the finished part. They are often complicated and expensive. This lesson covers the parts and operation of the three most common types of molds: two plate, three plate, and runnerless molds.

    Lesson 3 – Plastic Behavior in Molding

    • Plastic has some unique characteristics. An understanding of plastic behavior is critical to becoming an expert molder. This lesson explains plastic behavior during molding.

    Lesson 4 – Machine Fill and Pressure Controls

    • Understanding the fill, pack and hold phases of the molding cycle are critical to good molding. Today’s machines are highly capable of speed and pressure control during molding. This lesson explains how these controls operate.

    Lesson 5 – Machine Timer, Temperature and Clamp Controls

    • In this lesson we continue our molding machine controls descriptions by explaining the timers, the temperature controls and the clamp controls of the machine.
