Injection Molding IS/IS NOT Matrix

One tool that is always sought after by the newer process technicians in the injection molding industry is the good old fashioned "injection molding process troubleshooting" matrix or what is also known as a process IS/IS NOT matrix. The purpose of this matrix is to give you a starting point, especially when you are new and learning the ins and outs of injection molding process troubleshooting.

These should not be mis-construed as the answer to all your problems, because in many cases your particular problem will require that you do a much more in-depth problem search and resolution than one of these lists will provide. But again, for the brand new process technician or engineer it can shorten the process of troubleshooting injection molding problems by eliminating some of the more obvious items that could not be. Hence the term IS/IS NOT. This matrix will help you define what your problem "IS" or "could be" and what your injection molding problem "IS NOT" or "probably won't be" when deciding what to do to solve your problem.
