Delivered in partnership with Paulson
This webinar draws on Paulson Training's science-based plastics methodology, trusted by processors worldwide and now supported by the Certus family of training brands.
Why attend
The problem is not always where the setpoint says it is.
Processors can spend hours adjusting machine settings to correct problems that are actually caused by changes in what the plastic is experiencing.
In this live webinar, Paulson Training instructor Eric Dawkins introduces a practical way to separate machine activity from plastic reality, so teams can troubleshoot with more confidence.
Before
Chasing settings, symptoms and one-off fixes that are hard to repeat.
After
Understanding the plastic variables that actually shape part quality.
What you will learn
A practical framework for more stable and repeatable processing
The session follows a clear progression from establishing the right foundations to understanding the variables that govern the moulding process.
Part Two
Read the plastic
Explore the four variables that influence the quality of every moulded part.
- Melt temperature
- Plastic flow
- Plastic pressure
- Cooling rate
Part Three
Make it repeatable
Use Universal Variables to monitor and reproduce successful conditions.
- Process monitoring
- Process duplication
- Process transfer
Takeaways
Practical ideas you can apply on the shop floor
- Why machine settings alone do not define a stable process
- How to approach problems from the Plastic's Point of View
- How to distinguish symptoms from the source of variation
- How the four Plastic Variables influence part quality
- How to monitor and duplicate successful processing conditions
- How to transfer processes between machines with greater confidence
Who should attend
For the people responsible for process performance.
Relevant to anyone involved in injection moulding production, troubleshooting, quality or process improvement.
Best suited to machine operators, process technicians, process engineers, manufacturing engineers, production supervisors and production managers.
