FPT Courses - Injection Moulding 3

Cost: €1,100 (10% discount for Plastic Ireland members) 

Inclusive of course manual, lunch and refreshments.



This Injection Moulding course focuses on techniques used to understand and "map" the injection moulding process, reducing moulding inconsistency by understanding its causes and effects. A strong emphasis is placed on giving participants the practical skills to apply both SPC and troubleshooting techniques.



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



Course Content Day 1:

Introduction and recap on prior knowledge

Troubleshooting and common faults/ discussion

Troubleshooting software (PICAT)

Machine, Mould, Material familiarisation



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



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.
