Welcome to RJG®, Inc. eLearning!

Troubleshoot like a C.H.A.M.P! After developing robust processes, managers and engineers depend on production staff to be able to keep them making quality parts with minimal downtime. Introduction to Troubleshooting is designed for the shop floor’s frontline “firefighters” – junior technicians or those on their way to becoming technicians – that need to deal with issues that interrupt production. Think like a C.H.A.M.P! Utilizing RJG’s C.H.A.M.P. framework (Cooling, Heat, Air, Material, Process), you'll follow a mental checklist to verify key factors before making making process changes that might complicate or worsen problems. Practice Making Decisions: Through a series of scenarios collected from the real-life backgrounds of seasoned molding professionals, you'll experience the consequences of your actions in a safe, virtual environment to prevent suffering through them on the job. You'll be given feedback on the appropriateness and effectiveness of your choices, so you build confidence to efficiently and independently resolve molding issues. Benefits: Reduce downtime Reduce reject and scrap rates Improve quality Expand problem-solving capabilities Maximize profits through efficient, defect-free techniques Think like a higher-level, more experienced technician Course Highlights: Follow a structured approach (C.H.A.M.P.) to identify, analyze, and resolve issues related to Cooling, Heat, Air, Material, and Process Address normal material viscosity variations that result in dimensional issues (short or flashed parts) in Decoupled Molding II processes Identify 14 of the most common and costly plastic molded part defects: Black specs Burn marks Color streaks Discoloration Ejector marks Flash Gate marks Knit lines Shorts Sink marks Splay Unmelted pellets Voids Warp Read more

**This course is now accessible using mobile devices such as smart-phones and tablets.** The Math for Molders course is intended for anyone who struggles with mastering the math skills needed to successfully complete injection molding processing courses. Students will better grasp the math techniques taught, and the knowledge provides a better math skills foundation for future RJG courses. Course Highlights: - Calculating area for various shapes to understand square inches at the parting line - Clamp tonnage requirements to understand using square inches with plastic pressure to establish clamp force requirements - Ratios to calculate intensification ratio, screw design - Using a formula triangle to understand how force, pressure, and area affect the process - Speed versus time to verify the machine is capable of delivering the plastic to the mold - Activities for solving real mathematics problems with the molding process Read more

The Area module of RJG's Math for Molders course includes lessons on how to use specific mathematic formulas to calculate the area of the most common shapes (squares and rectangles, triangles, circles) as well as irregular shapes and total projected area. The lessons feature practical examples related to plastic injection molding, opportunities for practice, and an assessment. Read more

The Averages section of RJG's Math for Molders course focuses on how to calculate averages that help molders understand what is typical in a process, and possibly lead to making well-informed adjustments that lead to consistent, quality parts. The lessons feature practical examples related to plastic injection molding, opportunities for practice, and an assessment. Read more
