Training in the diagnostics and operation of hydraulic injection moulding machines
PMSS training programme
From machine operating fundamentals to independent fault diagnosis
Our training programme is structured in two complementary stages. Participants first consolidate their knowledge of hydraulics, electrical systems and technical documentation, and then move on to the practical diagnosis of real faults.
This structure allows participants to develop their skills step by step: from understanding the injection moulding machine as a whole, through schematic analysis, to planning corrective actions and reducing production downtime.
Two levels of development
- UR1 – system fundamentals, operating cycle and schematic analysis.
- UR2 – diagnostics, fault scenarios and corrective actions.
- The programme provides a complete training path for technical teams.
Programme scope
Two parts, one coherent learning process
Part I – UR1
System fundamentals and schematic analysis
The first stage focuses on building a solid foundation. Participants learn how hydraulic and electrical systems work and how to interpret technical documentation.
The training explains how an injection moulding machine operates as a whole – from power hydraulics and the machine operating cycle to the fundamentals of schematic analysis.
This stage prepares participants to work with the machine confidently and provides a foundation for developing further diagnostic skills.
Part II – UR2
Fault diagnosis and troubleshooting
The second stage is advanced and practice-oriented. Participants work with real fault scenarios and fault simulators, learning a systematic approach to diagnosis.
The training develops skills in problem analysis, the use of diagnostic functions and the planning of corrective actions. Participants learn to identify the causes of failures, analyse system operation, including pumps and proportional valves, and rectify faults effectively.
The programme also covers maintenance and keeping machines in good working order.
Participant pathway
The programme takes participants from understanding systems to making service decisions
1. Systems
Hydraulics, electrical systems and key components of an injection moulding machine.
2. Schematics
Interpreting technical documentation and the relationships between systems.
3. Faults
Working with fault scenarios and problem simulators.
4. Diagnostics
A standardised approach to analysing and rectifying faults.
Overall programme outcome
After completing both stages, the team works with greater confidence, speed and consistency
- understand how hydraulic and electrical systems in injection moulding machines operate,
- analyse technical diagrams confidently,
- diagnose and rectify faults effectively,
- follow a standardised diagnostic process,
- reduce downtime and improve machine reliability,
- plan maintenance and corrective actions more effectively.
Who is this programme for?
The training is designed for maintenance personnel, technicians, service engineers and anyone responsible for keeping hydraulic injection moulding machines operational in manufacturing plants.
UR1 provides a structured foundation, while UR2 offers practical development for teams that want to move from recognising symptoms to identifying the causes of failures with confidence.
The complete pathway delivers the best results
Combining UR1 and UR2 helps establish a shared technical language within the team and then apply it to hands-on machine diagnostics.
