Three coordinate measuring machines are crucial for the development of the mold industry - our company has purchased three coordinate measuring machines

   Three coordinate measuring machines have become an important means of design, development, manufacturing, and quality assurance in modern manufacturing, especially in the mold industry, due to their high precision, flexibility, and excellent digital capabilities.

   Firstly, coordinate measuring machines can provide quality assurance for the mold industry and are the best choice for mold manufacturing enterprises to measure and inspect. The flexibility and high precision of a coordinate measuring machine in handling different tasks make it an arbitrator. While providing dimensional data for process control, coordinate measuring machines can also offer additional features such as incoming product inspection, customer quality testing, gauge inspection, and mold workpiece inspection. Highly flexible coordinate measuring machines can be configured in workshop environments and directly participate in various stages of mold processing, assembly, trial molding, and repair, providing necessary inspection feedback, reducing the number of rework and shortening the mold development cycle, ultimately reducing mold manufacturing costs and bringing production under control.

   The second and third coordinate measuring machines have strong reverse engineering capabilities and are an ideal digital tool. By combining the measuring head of a coordinate measuring machine with different structural forms of coordinate measuring machines, it is possible to quickly and accurately obtain three-dimensional data and geometric features of the workpiece surface, which is particularly useful for mold design, sample replication, and repair of damaged molds. In addition, the contact type scanning probe of the coordinate measuring machine can use the powerful scanning function provided by the measurement software to complete the replication of complex CAD models of free-form surface shape features. Without any conversion, it can be directly recognized and programmed by various CAD software, greatly improving the efficiency of mold design.

   Specifically, when using coordinate measuring machines to complete design and testing tasks in mold manufacturing enterprises, close attention should be paid to various factors such as the selection of measurement benchmarks, calibration and selection of measuring heads, planning of measuring points and positions, establishment of coordinate systems, and environmental influences. Each of these factors is sufficient to affect the accuracy and efficiency of the measurement results. It can greatly improve the design efficiency of molds, and the accuracy will also be greatly improved.
