Eliminate guesswork. Now you can prevent defects before they occur, save countless hours of downtime and thousands of dollars in wasted time and materials. This new videotape series shows 24 of the most troublesome defects, explains possible cause(s) and also suggests how to remedy the defects. As a visual troubleshooting tool, this video helps empower front line personnel. Once they solve a problem, the solution and any necessary system setting modifications can be documented and referenced to the video so staff on the next shift don’t have to troubleshoot the same problem all over again! Live shopfloor footage of simulated molding problems, along with animation sequences, are presented to enhance understanding. You’ll gain valuable troubleshooting techniques that will help you solve problems and stay a step ahead of your competition. Three 25 minute tapes come with an illustrated 64 page video reference guide to supplement shopfloor troubleshooting. Each of the 24 defects (cross referenced to the videotape set) are detailed in the video guide along with tables of suggested melt and mold temperatures for various plastics.

Troubleshooting Injection Molding Problems

Description
Injection molding is the most common method of producing parts out of plastic material. It is an extremely versatile process that is capable of producing parts with a wide range of attributes. Using shop floor footage and animated sequences this video focuses on the injection molding machine and the injection mold to illustrate the injection molding process. The injection machine section covers in detail both the machines’ injection system and the clamping system. In step by step progression, plastic material is followed from it’s raw material state through the melting process and onto it’s injection into the mold. Throughout the sequence, various components of the injection machine are explained. The mold section continues this examination, allowing clear definition of mold terms as the molten material is formed, cooled, and ejected as the final part. also featured in the mold segment are the common mold types, including the two-plate cold runner mold, three-plate cold runner mold, the hot runner mold, and the insulated runner mold. this tape concludes with a section on injection machine controls. Here, the role of computers in daily shop floor activities is augmented with an examination of computer aided injection mold and part design.
