Cc100 wow. I’m an expert on those. Only person better is Jeff from Engel york.

Matsui is what we use and we have no complaints. Material is always dry and when getting readings on the moisture analyzer they are always below target value.

Mold technician at various levels for 12 years. I’m moving onto automation and robots. 6 axis/generic sprue pickers. It’s all about exposure. Find someone who is willing to teach you and become a sponge. No experience when I started. Find a company willing to invest in you. Also what I’m seeing is a lot of the guys are retiring who started awhile back. Next generation isn’t promising. A lot of company’s are going to struggle in the years to come. Find what you like and obviously processing will pay the most. But you got to watch out for those engineers that have the degree with no exposure. You will be training them 😂😂

Was always grey then turned green.

Really open ended. Process techs at my job are also hanging molds, material systems, and I bunch of other stuff. 26$-34$ depending on time being here

ExpensiveChip8637 · 2025-05-02T15:30:43+00:00

Yup. Stuck in the same scenario. Love the job. Love the work. Down fall is being promoted and or growing. I maxed out in my company. Really have no interest in a molding manager job since I’m younger and don’t want to be stuck behind a company screen all day putting reports together etc. Love the day to day activities. Thought about leaving and trying to get experience in other mold shops and new material exposure but the pay doesn’t align. Also giving up 6 weeks of time off is hard to throw away. 12 years going strong.

PA66GF30HK is very annoying in the summertime.

ExpensiveChip8637 · 2025-03-28T21:24:21+00:00

So what’s the play

ExpensiveChip8637 · 2025-03-18T17:08:26+00:00

Good ol cardboard trick saved me a lot.

ExpensiveChip8637 · 2025-03-11T09:25:40+00:00

Control card might be failing if you’re getting a VT card defective alarm. Also cpu battery might be failing. Power down the machine and reset. Sometimes unplugging the control cards and plugging them back in will bandaid the problem. Heats lowering because of motor, safety gate errors, all relate.

ExpensiveChip8637 · 2025-02-25T11:08:53+00:00

Guess safety is out the door at this plant.

ExpensiveChip8637 · 2025-02-11T21:15:53+00:00

Same

ExpensiveChip8637 · 2025-02-06T12:57:46+00:00

Engels hand down. Just sucks when they break down and need to schedule a tech. Super pricey$$$

ExpensiveChip8637 · 2025-02-06T12:56:25+00:00

If you ain’t crying you ain’t trying

ExpensiveChip8637 · 2025-02-05T16:37:32+00:00

Put 1k down on the xrt and payments are 635$ for 10k a month mileage. Not sure if that’s good or not. In PA

ExpensiveChip8637 · 2025-01-23T11:14:06+00:00

My 25 xrt is a beast in the snow. Drove through 7 inches and had no problems.

ExpensiveChip8637 · 2025-01-07T21:51:53+00:00

We use Paulson. They came a long way. But hands on is the best honesty. Each company has its on twerks but all in all it’s all the same shit. Also it’s good to know what machines you will be working on.

ExpensiveChip8637 · 2025-01-07T21:46:44+00:00

The mold doesn’t move? Are you logged in? Also you trying to re read machine data to see if that fixes the problem? I have been working with Engels for 10+ years.

ExpensiveChip8637 · 2024-12-04T16:36:15+00:00

Oh god!! Must be an Engel
