Technical leadership in injection molding escalations

One-day course of the SEM Academy, guided by SEM

One-day course on an escalation with an existing mold: take over the situation, check the defect pattern, work several mechanisms side by side, plan findings that separate them and the follow-up mold trial, classify interventions, and hand over the status. Afterward, you deepen the material in the app.

The course day

Technical leadership in injection molding escalations

For everyone who leads an escalation on the existing mold technically or decides on it.

You take over an escalation with a commitment you can keep, work several mechanisms side by side, obtain findings that separate them, plan and evaluate the follow-up mold trial, classify interventions by their criteria, and hand over the reasoned path to a solution so that decisions can be made.

Sample question

One question from the practice round “Obtaining findings”.

An appearance cover shows sink marks on its visible surface. The mold has two cavities. At the first mold trial, a weighing series determined after which hold time the part weight stops rising. This weighing series ran on only one cavity. Both cavities are now to run with the values from this series.

What does the weighing series show?

Choose an answer.

  1. AIt applies to both cavities, because the mold is the same and both were made alike.
  2. BIt applies to neither cavity, because a single series can never prove anything.
  3. CIt applies to this cavity; the other one needs a series of its own.
  4. DIt applies only to the cycle time, not to the weight of the parts.

Show the solution

The correct answer is C: It applies to this cavity; the other one needs a series of its own.

The cavities can differ, and the defects turn out differently in each cavity. A finding holds for the parts on which it was obtained. That is why the series is run for each cavity.

This was a practice question from the one-day course on technical leadership in injection molding escalations. This is how participants keep learning in the app after the course day.

Who it is for

The one-day course is for project managers, process and mold owners, quality, development, and technical leadership (project management, development, manufacturing, quality, and leadership).

The one-day course belongs to the SEM Academy and requires no knowledge of simulation. It works on the same appearance cover as the one-day course on simulation. There you assess the calculation; here you lead the escalation on the existing mold. The two courses complement each other. The work follows SEM, the method of the SEM Academy.

Sequence

  1. Course dayAn appearance cover with sink marks guides through the day: taking over the situation and getting to know the SEM loop, defect pattern, inspection and workspace, gate freeze point and dome, planning and evaluating the follow-up mold trial, explaining and fixing the dent at the runner separation, classifying interventions, defending the solution and handing over the status. The day consists of practice blocks, and the group has up to eight people. Please bring your own anonymized case for the follow-up work.
  2. Practice in the appAfter that, the app guides each participant for four weeks through the topics of the day: read, deepen, refresh, with knowledge questions, practice rounds and Challenges on the course case. It runs in the browser without an account; the learning status stays on the device.
  3. CertificateWhoever completes the learning path reports the result to the instructor and receives the Certificate of Completion.
