On completion of the course the delegates will be able to:
- Demonstrate an understanding of safety requirements for injection moulding and use safe working practices
- Describe the construction of an injection moulding machine, the function of component parts and process parameters
- Set up clamping units on a range of injection moulding machines
- Demonstrate an understanding of mould tool design, quality systems and machine control methods
- Carry out initial set-up of the injection unit using a systematic procedure
- Start-up and shut-down an injection moulding machine safely and efficiently
- Recognise common product faults
- Demonstrate an understanding of plastics material technology
- Recognise a range of product faults, identify possible causes and select appropriate remedies
- Carry out a complete set-up from zero
- Undertake machine condition setting in a logical and systematic manner
