Scientific Molding

As a leader in Scientific Molding utilizing the decoupled 2 process with eDart process controllers, P&P Industries can provide a decrease in scrap, cycle time, and field failures.  This allows P&P to offer more competitive pricing and a higher level of quality by using actual data that the machine and mold output for analysis by our processing engineers. 

The purpose for Scientific Molding is to use a scientific approach to gather actual values to build a robust molding process that will account for external variation of raw materials and equipment.

At the heart of Scientific Molding is the scientific ability to detect in which area problems lie and document the problems with data, not personal opinions. From the beginning of any new project each component is represented and the hard compromises made early. This keeps the program on track and on time with fewer revisions in the prototype or production stages. In each area decisions are made that affect the other three; often a compromise must be made.

Scientific molding holds each component accountable, which results in true concurrent engineering. All designs and decisions are professionally reviewed in the early stages of a project to make all parties successful.

 With an average of 20% productivity gain, scientific molding
is the cost effective solution.

 

Scientific Injection Molding
Scientific Approach to Establishing Molding Variables
  • Understanding of four critical components
    • Material
    • Part Design
    • Tooling
    • Processing
  • Every decision is backed by scientific data
  • Increased efficiency, improved quality and earlier failure detection

Cycle Time Reductions = Cost Savings

  • Reducing 30s cycle time by 1 second = $
    • 2 seconds per minute
    • 2 minutes per hour
    • 10,000 minutes per year or 166 hours saved
  • Decoupled 2 molding practices
  • Transducers built in the tool for accurate data collection
