Decoupled Molding Workshop

Approximately twice per quarter

This three-day workshop is designed to provide participants with valuable hands-on machine time to reinforce the methodologies they learned in Injection Molding Essentials. It offers the same exercises as Master Molder I, but with half the practice time and none of the testing.

Attendees will acquire the knowledge they need to dissect and rebuild the process using data driven methodologies, then document the return on investment and indicate potential improvement areas using the current condition of the machine and mold. The end result will be the most robust process possible with the current conditions.

Course Highlights

• Machine Qualification Tests
  • Load Sensitivity
  • Pressure Response
  • Injection Speed Linearity
  • Dynamic Check Ring Repeatability Test
  • Clamp/Mold Deflection Study
• Mold Performance requirements and weakness identification
  • Pressure Loss test
  • Perform a gate seal study to determine optimal hold time
  • Identify the cavity balance at all injection speeds
  • Create a temperature map of the mold
• Validate machine and mold capabilities
• Build and document a robust Decoupled process with the current machine and mold conditions
