Dimension Out of Tolerance

Problem Phenomenon
The actual dimensions of the part exceed the tolerance range. When this defect appears in parts of Process No. 1, it is usually related to specific process parameter ranges or equipment conditions. If it persists, it will directly affect the part qualification rate and production cycle, increasing material loss and rework costs. Timely diagnosis and elimination is a basic requirement for ensuring stable production.
Cause Analysis
1. Process parameter factors: holding pressure fluctuation, mold temperature fluctuation, inaccurate shrinkage rate setting, unstable screw metering.
Solution
1. Process parameter optimization and adjustment: stabilize holding pressure, control mold temperature fluctuation, correct the shrinkage rate setting, check the sealing of the check ring. 2. Systematic troubleshooting method: troubleshoot item by item in the order of "parameters -> material -> mold -> equipment". First adjust the parameters that are easiest to change, such as injection pressure and temperature, and observe the effect; if there is no improvement, check the drying and fluidity of the raw material; further check mold venting and gate design; finally check the mechanical condition of the equipment (check ring, screw). Change only one variable at a time to determine the root cause. 3. Preventive management: establish standardized process parameter cards and quality control limits for each mold/product, and regularly conduct process capability index (CPK) evaluation. For recurring problems, use fishbone diagram or 5Why analysis to trace the root cause, and fix the countermeasures as PFMEA control points.
Key Takeaway
This problem is a typical manifestation of dimension out of tolerance in '2079851475616104452; the core of the solution lies in eliminating the root cause of the defect through systematic optimization of process parameters (temperature, pressure, speed) and rationality checks of mold design. It is recommended to start with process parameter adjustment and gradually go deeper into the equipment and mold levels.
