Injection Moulding Module 3 - Using SPC

Day 2:
Practical 1:
7-Point plan to set up clamp/injection end
discussion re: problems at set up/ Ways of solving
Moulding cycle optimisation
Using SPC
Case Studies

Practical 2:
SPC monitoring of m/c to gather data for day 3
A spec. sheet will be provided with tolerances/ cycle times etc.

Day 3:
Discussion on Day 2 outcomes
Cp/Cpk

Practical 3:
Optimise mould, calculate Cp/Cpk again
Review to improve output
Optimising machine cycle
Case Studies

Practical 4:
Change mould and repeat optimising exercise
Calculate Cp / Cpk

Day 4:
Discussion and Feedback
Case Studies

Practical 5:
Start same machine up from cold and note differences in set-up, i.e.sizes,weights, pressures, etc. If time permits zero and start again. Analysis of SPC in classroom.

There will be home study on most nights to check understanding.

Our training centre has three Injection Moulding Machines:
Demag NC4 25 ton
Fanuc All Electric Roboshot 100 ton
Krauss Maffei 100 ton

Where possible we restrict Injection Moulding course numbers to just six places using three machines.

Our courses can be run in-company if required, or we can modify any course to your needs. FETAC (NCVA/ CEDEFOP) certification is included in the course costs - The FETAC approved examination conducted at the end of the course counts as one credit towards our Vocational Certificate in Polymer Processing.

Who Should Attend?
This course is designed for technical staff with a good working knowledge of injection moulding equipment and troubleshooting techniques. It will be of most benefit to those who strive to understand and increase their control of the moulding process to increase part quality and consistency.
