Basics of thermoplastic foam injection molding (TSG)

Demands for more sustainable solutions and increased functional integration can be met by foaming thermoplastics. The resulting lightweight construction due to the lower density is also a topic that is more topical than ever. This seminar will provide an overview of various processes, the associated machine and tool technology, the special process engineering features of foaming compared to classic injection molding and welding as a subsequent process.

WEBINAR: Compounding as the key to upcycling

Kunststoff-Zentrum in Leipzig gGmbH (KUZ) uses the newly developed additive SCONA TPPET 4214 PA from Byk-Chemie GmbH for the reactive compounding of post-consumer rPET. The increase in the property level enables the reliable processing of technical lightweight components. The aim of processing the flakes is to increase the meltability as a prerequisite for a homogeneous foam structure and to increase the impact strength to the level of virgin material.

Injection molding defects: avoidance + elimination

Unfavorable settings and fluctuations in the process parameters during injection moulding result in constellations that can lead to moulded part defects and cause high economic losses. We will provide you with comprehensive knowledge in recognizing and systematically eliminating faults in injection moulded parts. In the practical part, we will deepen the process engineering correlations with you.

Injection molding defects: Recognition + assessment

Injection molding is comparatively complex due to the many processing parameters. Unfavorable settings and fluctuations in the process parameters result in constellations that can lead to quality defects and damage to injection molded parts. In this seminar, we will give you an overview of error patterns and their causes and discuss the background and possible remedial strategies with you.

24.09. - 25.09.2024

Optimization of the injection moulding process 4.0

How do you achieve the optimum quality component? We will teach you strategies for time- and cost-efficient adjustment and optimization of the injection moulding process, taking into account defined boundary conditions. These strategies will be applied in the subsequent workshop. Further information on the agenda, travel, parking and an insight into the script can be found in our download box at the top right.

Certified specialist for plastic injection molding

Due to the increasing shortage of skilled workers, companies are increasingly having to recruit employees from other areas or even specialist fields and qualify them for the tasks in their own company in the shortest possible time. The modular seminar provides compact basic knowledge of the injection molding process combined with comprehensive training on the injection molding machines. Participants thus acquire the ability to work consciously on the machines. With this in-service training in accordance with the qualification standard of the GKV/TecPart the graduates receive a qualification certificate that is classified below the vocational training as a process mechanic for plastics and rubber technology.
