Understanding RJG Decoupled Molding
RJG Decoupled Molding is an advanced injection molding technique that focuses on separating and controlling the three key phases of the injection molding process: fill, pack, and cool. By isolating these stages, RJG allows molders to make precise adjustments to each phase without affecting the other phases. This results in greater control over the molding process, leading to improved consistency, reduced variation, and enhanced part quality.
How Vital Plastics Uses RJG Technology
Vital Plastics utilizes RJG’s scientific molding practices, incorporating decoupled molding techniques into our processes. We recommend that all new tool builds incorporate RJG’s technology to ensure optimized performance from the start.
At its core, decoupled molding relies on detailed real-time data to monitor critical factors such as cavity pressure, temperature, and material flow. RJG’s technology, including their eDART system, tracks these parameters throughout the production cycle. This allows Process Engineers to focus on optimizing one variable at a time. The results of this technology are immediately evident. With greater control over each phase, it’s easier for technicians to detect and address issues early, reducing the chances of defects and minimizing scrap rates.
Benefits of RJG Scientific Molding
Another benefit to utilizing RJG scientific molding technology is the reduction in manual quality process checks. In a typical injection molding process, quality technicians are required to periodically pull a “shot” from the production run and measure it in the lab. When processing with an RJG-equipped tool, every injection cycle is measured against the approved sample cycle developed by a Process Engineer and tracked through an RJG user interface. When inconsistencies are detected, the system alarms and stops the production cycle. Quality personnel no longer need to periodically check shots because every injection cycle is being monitored for consistency.
By leveraging RJG decoupled molding, Vital Plastics ensures the highest levels of precision and efficiency, ultimately leading to better quality, lower waste, reduced human error, and increased customer satisfaction.
