Sampling of Injection Molds - Structured and Analytical Process

This is the first book focusing on the subject of injection mold sampling.

A standardized, structured, and systematic procedure for sampling injection molds is essential for a successful injection molding process. This work provide everything you need to know, guiding you from the placing of an order for a mold sampling to the transfer to series production. With the complete sequence of the individual sampling steps, lots of background information, notes, practical examples and tips, and a colorful, well-illustrated design, the sampling procedure is conveyed in a reader-friendly way.

The main topics covered are the structured procedure of a mold sampling, taking into account energy efficiency, documentation, and communication; a mold sampling analysis; optimum machine setup using strategic procedures and methods on the injection molding machine; process optimization with subsequent investigation of process capability; and a Run@Rate process.

This book is ideally suited for practical users working at the injection molding machine as well as serving as a textbook at vocational schools, further education institutions, and universities.
