2023 Processing Training Schedule

Course Descriptions

Mosaic Processing I, Control Utilization & Cycle Development

This class is a comprehensive hands-on study of Mosaic control capabilities. Students will learn how to maximize the features of the Mosaic control system as they build robust processes. Sessions include solutions for fill and packing related defects, velocity and pressure setup, alarm, and fault menus, shot traces and SPC menus. The role of tooling and plastic materials in developing efficient, profitable cycles will also be discussed.

Course Outline

• Control overview, setup & capabilities
• Shot traces, process monitoring & SPC
• Control operation, screens & diagnostics
• Process diagnostics & troubleshooting
• Injection transfer mode options
• Injection velocity control & filling
• Solutions to fill & packing related defects
• Plastic materials & their characteristics

Hands-On Exercise 

Tasks include machine start up, short shot corrections and process diagnostic and troubleshooting exercises.

Recommended For

Staff involved in machine setup and operation
Production and Quality Assurance staff

Other support staff, including sales, purchasing, accounting, etc. interested in learning how the molding process works and how to better communicate about the process and processing issues.

Mosaic Processing II, Process Optimization and Troubleshooting

This class is designed to “Improve the Process” by reducing cycle time and scrap rate. Sessions include machine setup and processing techniques, processing parameters relating to part quality to optimize each portion of the process and troubleshooting molded part defects.
