This excerpt demonstrates basic hydraulic print reading and some common symbols for hydraulic components found on injection molding machine diagrams. This course demonstrates the importance of hydraulics in the injection molding process. Machine operators will learn ways to reduce wear on hydraulic components, while more advanced employees concentrate on hydraulic print reading and theory. – Basic hydraulic theory – The role of hydraulics in injection molding – The function and purpose of hydraulic components – Recognition of hydraulic symbols – Directional valves and flow controls – Hydraulic pumps and motors – Proportional valves and servo valves – Hydraulic fluid management A.

This is an excerpt from the third program in our Injection Molding Basics Series, “Mold”, that uses 3D animation to illustrate the basic components of the A-half of a typical 2-plate mold assembly, including the clamp plate, leader pins, cavity retainer plate, sprue bushing and locating ring. Our Injection Molding Basics series provides participants with a general understanding of the three major aspects of injection molding; the injection molding machine, the molding process, and the injection mold. These programs use 3D animation to demonstrate the inner workings of the machine and mold and to easily convey otherwise complex concepts. Important safety precautions are stressed throughout these training programs. A. Routsis Associates – Complete Training Solutions for the Plastics Industry.

This excerpt illustrates the injection molding process with 3D animation showing how the reciprocating screw injection molding machine melts, injects, fills the closed injection mold, cools the plastic and ejects the plastic parts from the mold. This course provides participants with a general introduction to the plastics industry. The primary focus of this training program is the day-to-day operations of a typical injection molding facility. An Introduction to Injection Molding was created for newcomers to the injection molding industry or anyone that would like to learn more about plastics. A.
