Troubleshooting
In any process there are inherently many variables that could lead to problems or issues with the production of molded composite parts. These troubleshooting guides are intended to be processing aids to assist manufacturing and processing engineers with troubleshooting any process related issues they may encounter when molding with our materials. The action steps listed herein are simply logical suggestions that should be viewed as such. They should not be viewed as a cure-all to every problem. Due to interactions between variables, it is possible that a combination of variables will have to be changed in order to correct a problem.
AZDEL engineers are available to help you with any processing related issues that you may experience. Please don't hesitate to contact us should you require assistance.
Typically, the following actions should be followed when analyzing problems;
-
Determine frequency and location of problem.
-
Determine and record the current process set-up.
-
Determine and record the current oven and mold temperatures.
-
Determine material temperature (Outer surfaces and center of sheet) at oven exit.
-
Implement interim containment or temporary corrective action plan.
-
Determine root cause.
-
Implement permanent corrective action plan.
-
Record new process set-up.
