Process Optimization and The Universal Setup Sheet
2.5 Days
This seminar concentrates on process optimization with hands-on, at-the-press instruction and defines the necessary variables to establish a “Universal Setup Sheet”. By the end of the course we will have established a setup sheet that can be used on any correct tonnage press that can accept the mold. Different barrel sizes, electric or hydraulic; the setup sheet will work on all. Having one setup sheet per mold rather than a separate setup sheet for each different press will not only improve consistency but also speed setups and bring back healthy profit margins.
Scientific Molding Overview: A Six Sigma Strategy
1 Day
An introduction to the strategy of molding from the plastics point of view. Machine variables vs. plastic variables are exposed as well as the basic core principles of this six-sigma strategy. One plant saved $200,000.00 after this 1 day course, a rare case but shows the potential. Supervisors, engineers, processors and corporate officers will benefit by obtaining a technical overview.
Scientific Molding For Six Sigma
3-4 Days
This seminar starts with a tough “knowledge survey” to document and establish the status of processing within your plant. The course is tailored to your needs. The course provides an industry overview as well as world class molding strategies with technical details to reach six sigma production. Supervisors, engineers, technical representatives, set-up, quality control, process technicians, production and maintenance personnel will benefit from practical at-the-press details. We will cover scientific, data-based molding with at-the-press training to set up, optimize and correctly document the process. All work can be verified by hydraulic and perhaps cavity pressure measurements and documented with a “Universal Set-Up Sheet”, one sheet for any press. Learn to work smarter, not harder, to be internationally competitive. At-your-press instruction has proven to be the most effective method for instructing proper molding techniques. Course may be shortened to two days without at-the-press training and mold/part cooling.
Troubleshooting Common Injection Molding Part Problems
2 Days
This covers a brief industry introduction of some basic processing guidelines and a hard hitting analysis with remedies of the industry's top 18 molding problems. The course is aimed at processors, but provides insight for customers, managers and designers. A tough 2 day seminar with a brief at-the-press session.
Coloring Plastic At The Press
1-2 Days
Designed for optimizing, use, and blending of colorant at the press; that is, in-plant coloring of plastic resins. Discusses machine requirements, screw design for melt uniformity and mixing elements, blending color concentrates, evaluation of concentrates, and typical problems with practical proven resolutions.
