Is your tooling safe? Safe for production Safe for the operator Safe for machine and equipment The first thing to consider is having open/close tracking on the mechanicals of your tool Making sure bits are where there are supposed to be before the next action takes place As a planning guide, apply limit switches to . . . tricky mechanical sequences delicate moving elements expensive tool components Be safe Be successful #furro #tooling #toolingtales #manufacturing #molding

You got a molding issue A cosmetic defect You think you have checked everything Starting to lose your mind What do you do? This is one of these situations where You need take a step back Take a look at the full system Full system? Tell me more Check out the runners Top and bottom sprue diameters The machine nozzle Engineers can get too focused on the PART when stuff’s not working Root cause analysis sounds like . . . “The part, the part, the part. Need to look at the part. It’s the part! “ Take a step back #furro #tooling #manufacturing #molding
