RJG’s Decoupled Molding℠
These online courses convey many of the concepts and theories covered within the RJG Decoupled Molding℠ training seminars.
This four-part training program starts with the major components of the molding process, and progresses to systematic troubleshooting.
The Decoupled Molding℠ system is an ideal processing method intended for anyone interested in optimizing an injection molding process.
Part 1 - Introduction to Decoupled Molding℠
- Discusses polymerization, crystallinity, additives, regrind and degradation
- Lists necessary components of a proper part design
- Describes the injection molding process in depth; from filling to cooling
- Covers molding machine components and their functions in depth
Part 2 - Decoupled Molding℠ Techniques
- Compares traditional and Decoupled Molding℠
- Defines the three Decoupled Molding℠ techniques
- Covers transducers and proper transducer placement
- Introduces signal conditioners and display devices
Part 3 - Reading and Interpreting Data
- Provides participants with an understanding of graphs and scaling
- Explains how to identify different types of graphical curves
- Introduces the various integrals used in Decoupled Molding℠
- Compares ideal and inconsistent pressure curves
Part 4 - Systematic Troubleshooting
- Discusses the importance of proper process documentation
- Explains the appearance and symptoms of defects
- Introduces logical steps involved in troubleshooting defects
- Describes common processing defects, their causes and corrective actions
Intelligent Molder
These courses were produced for technicians and process engineers that want to thoroughly evaluate both the capability and repeatability of a given injection molding machine, injection mold, or injection molding process.
Each course references three in-depth tests and will greatly benefit any participant of RJG’s classroom-based, Master Molder℠ Certification Series – either as a primer or as follow-up training.
Part 1 - Machine Evaluation
- Dynamic Check Ring Repeatability Test
- Load Sensitivity Test
- Platen Deflection Test
Part 2 - Mold Evaluation
- Dynamic Cavity Imbalance Test
- Mold Deflection Test
- Tonnage Calculation Worksheet
Part 3 - Process Evaluation
- In-Mold Rheology Test
- Gate Seal Worksheet
- DECOUPLED II℠ Process Sheet
RJG’s eDART™
This course was created for production personnel that monitor and optimize injection molding processes equipped with RJG’s eDART™ process controllers. This course will greatly benefit setup personnel, process engineers, machine operators, and managers that use, or plan on using, an eDART™ system.
Participants will be better prepared to establish the following:
- Improved processing methods
- Increased operation efficiency
- Machine and process analysis
- Automated quality control
- Improved process stability
