Injection Moulding Operator

You run two or three presses at once: you start the cycle, watch the first pieces, cut the sprue and place the part in the gauge to check the critical dimensions with a caliper. Every hour you record cycle time, scrap and cavity temperature on the machine sheet. You feed the hopper with granulate and colour, dry the material to the written recipe and call the setter for a mould change or a cycle fault. Shifts rotate weekly across morning, afternoon and night, with weekend cover in the fifth shift pattern.
