How to Master Complex Part Challenges with the Plastics Point of View
Life for an injection molder would be a whole lot easier if troubleshooting or solving part production problems was simple. Well it can be. By focusing on just four plastic variables, you can simplify problem solving and increase production efficiencies.
Join us in our latest, FREE, technical webinar where we will explore the causes and solutions to common injection molding problems. Every complex part can be reduced to a series of relatively simple design choices. In this webinar we’ll take a close look at warp. Warp is caused by uneven shrinkage in different areas of the part and is directly related to plastic cooling. If the cooling rate differs on each side of a wall, the warmer side will shrink more, creating warp. Our expert instructor, Todd Bryant will discuss how the four plastic variables of pressure, temperature, cooling rate and flow rate can cause molding problems like warp and show you how to solve this problem by employing the “Plastics Point of View,” the foundation to all molding strategies.
Watch an animation explaining injection molding warp in a brief video clip from our popular online course, Injection Molding Part Problems & Solutions.
This means understanding the concept that all machine controls affect one or more of the four plastic processing variables. Paulson’s entire approach, from starting up a machine for a production run, to problem solving an existing run is to examine the situation from the “plastics point of view”.
Key topics covered:
- Tackle a complex part defect like warp
- Identifying the root causes
- Learn which of the “four plastic variables”, particularly plastic pressure, affects part defects and how to adjust it to fix the problem
- Learn how to use SimTech as a powerful learning tool that can help you become a confident molder
Join in to discover how training can bring you practical thinking skills to tackle any molding problem that will increase your plants efficiencies and profitability. Plus! It’s FREE.
