The only book on the topic of sampling injection molding tools. A standardized, structured, and systematic approach to sampling injection molding tools is essential for a successful injection molding process.

Everything you need to know for sampling. The book guides you from the commissioning of a sampling to the handover to series production. The complete sequence of individual sampling steps, along with plenty of background information, tips, practical examples, and practical advice, conveys the sampling procedure in a straightforward manner.

The main topics include the structured approach to sampling with consideration of energy efficiency, documentation and communication, a sampling analysis, optimal machine settings through strategic approaches and methods at the injection molding machine, process optimization with subsequent examination of process capability, as well as a Run@Rate process.

The technical book is designed to be suitable for practical users at the injection molding machine as well as for use as a textbook in vocational schools, training institutions, and universities.

Now in its fourth edition:

• The topic 'Process engineering goes digital' is expanded in Chapter 12 and restructured according to the state of the art.
• Numerous graphics have been revised based on new findings.
• Chapter 1.2: The process of tool sampling has been updated.
• Chapter 1.5: Content has been expanded and includes practical examples.
