Master Molder 2

The Master Molder® II certificate course is designed for those who want to use cavity pressure data to monitor (detect and contain suspect parts) and to control velocity to pressure (V→P) transfer to minimize the effects of normal viscosity changes.

Using multiple development and optimization studies at the press, participants make data driven decisions to build robust processes using both DECOUPLED MOLDING II and III strategies that consider the capabilities and limitations of multiple target machines where a mold may need to be scheduled for production. Participants will document processes using Machine Independent Variables and utilize cycle graph templates to transfer processes to other capable machines more efficiently.

Participants will get extensive hands-on practice with the RJG CoPilot® System and examine historical summary and cycle graph data utilizing The Hub® to identify and correct process changes.*
