Practical and easy to understand, this fifth edition of the book describes the injection moulding process, the settings of the injection moulding machine and the production of high-quality injection moulded parts. The book is intended as a guide for machine setters and provides clear instructions for process optimisation. Experienced setters are familiar with the problem that a decisive improvement in the process is not necessarily achieved even with targeted changes to the machine settings. Nevertheless, it is possible to test the process with standard settings on the machine and optimise it by changing the process parameters. The common special processes are described in detail and the necessary additional physical principles are explained. The chapter "The final steps to quality" describes how quality can be documented and which tools are available for quality optimisation. This also includes artificial intelligence (SPC, EVOP). How does injection moulding work, how do you set up the machine, how do you produce a high-quality injection moulded part? - The book conveys all this in a simple form. New in the 5th edition are the use of recyclates and necessary measures to ensure quality when material batch changes inevitably occur, as well as measures to reduce energy consumption during injection moulding, particularly with regard to process settings.
