Cycle Time Build-Up: Injection, Holding, Cooling and Mould Moves
This lesson is part of the course
In this lesson
You build the cycle time of five parts from injection, holding, cooling (from a fictional wall-thickness table) and mould moves, see how much of the cycle is cooling, estimate cooling for a wall between table rows and turn a thinner wall into machine hours saved.
