Description
A Practical Approach to Scientific Molding
This easy-to-understand guide provides the necessary information to implement a scientific molding program. It is a hands-on reference for people on the molding floor, including those previously lacking theoretical background or formal education.

The book covers how the injection molding machine prepares the plastic and understanding of plastic flow. The functions of the main machine components are explained and understanding of correct procedures and testing is developed. Each step of the process is clearly explained in a step-by-step manner, and simple examples of important calculations are provided. The practical approach is augmented by useful guides for troubleshooting and machine set-up.

The 2nd edition has a new chapter covering the effects of making specific changes to the process, as well as a number of other improvements throughout. Bonus download included: Excel spreadsheet with tests for process and machine performance.

Contents
1. Injection Unit: Screw
2. Injection Unit: Barrel
3. Clamping Unit
4. Ejectors/Controllers, Human Machine Interface (HMI)
5. Machine Performance Testing
6. Process Development Test

Eine sehr gute Einfuhrung im Wissen und Verstehen von Kunststoff Spritziessen.

Sehr gutes Buch zum kennen lernen von die Parameter welche von ein Kunststoffteil beim Spritzgiessen ein Gutes Erfolg ergibt.

Super für Troubelshooting und für's schnelle Nachschlagen

Das Buch ist nicht sehr ausführlich in Bezug auf die Basics, aber ein gutes Nachschlagewerk für Anwender und Vorgesetzte. Besonders die Kapitel "Process Troubleshooting" und "Effects of Making Specific
Changes to the Process" sind für die Anwendung wichtig und helfen vor allem Neulingen die Prozesse besser zu verstehen.
Einige Grafiken könnten allerdings besser beschriftet und erläutert sein, da es so schnell zu Missverständnissen kommen kann. Auch der ständige Wechsel zwischen den metrischen und imperialen Einheitensystem ist teils etwas verwirrend.
Alles in Allem ein solides Buch mit konkreten und zielführenden Anweisungen, Ratschlägen und Hinweisen.
