ToolingDocs’ Mold Repair Certification Series gives attendees tools that can be put to use immediately, with a clear and tangible profit payback.

Listed below are ToolingDocs' Certification Course offerings for the remainder of 2010.

TOOLING COMPONENT REPAIR CERTIFICATION TRAINING

Every day, tool repair technicians run into situations in which they need to either direct the replacement of an expensive piece of tooling to get a mold up and running or—if they have the foundational knowledge and skills—they do it themselves. Many times tooling that could easily have been repaired is instead replaced—often at great expense.

ToolingDocs will show your mold maintenance technicians how to repair tooling quickly and accurately versus replacing it or sending it out, saving you thousands of dollars and enhancing your technicians’ skill levels.

Attendees will learn how to rework typical tooling issues such as worn edges, dings, scuffs, and scratches with typical tooling found in most molds (injection, blow, compression, etc.) through actual bench work. The rework techniques will include: Laser Welding, TIG Welding, Brazing, Stoning Tooling, Bluing and Fitting Tooling, and Polishing Tooling.

Students are encouraged to bring samples of their own tooling from their own shops to rework.

HOT RUNNER REPAIR CERTIFICATION TRAINING 

Repairing and maintaining a typical hot runner system takes mold maintenance skills to the next level. Not every repair technician wants to tear into one, knowing that disaster could be just a wrench slip, pinched wire or forgotten bolt away. Adding to the challenge is processing techniques, which can have a huge effect on the performance and condition of a hot runner system.

In today’s lean tool rooms, companies can’t take chances on success. Through this course, repair technicians will learn solid hot runner maintenance principles that can be applied immediately.

Attendees will learn through hands-on bench time how to test, handle, repair, clean and maintain several types of hot runner manifolds. They will learn common design and production issues along with useful bench techniques that include:

  • Electrical testing for shorts, connectivity, heater size verification

  • Disassembly techniques—tooling handling and cleaning

  • Assembly techniques----how flat is flat—how clean is clean---
    how tight is tight

  • Plastic Leakage---dealing with the Achilles Heal

  • Repair Traps---What am I getting into?

  • Typical problems created through bad work habits

  • How to set up a hot runner PM program

  • Wiring how-to, splices, repairs, replacement
