Common Measuring Tools Used in Plastic Mold Processing
In plastic mold processing, measuring tools are essential to ensure accurate mold dimensions, proper functionality, and production efficiency.
1. Vernier Caliper
Features: Widely used, simple structure, portable.
Applications: It measures outer diameter, inner diameter, depth, and step dimensions. It is suitable for medium-precision measurement tasks.
2. Micrometer
Types: Includes outside micrometer, inside micrometer, and depth micrometer.
Applications: Used for high-precision length measurement, particularly for mold components requiring small tolerance verification.
3. Height Gauge
Features: Operates on a flat plate and has a scribing device.
Applications: Measures the height of workpieces and performs precision scribing.
4. Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM)
Features: High-precision, automated measuring equipment.
Applications: Suitable for complex surfaces and high-precision mold components. Measures geometric shapes and positional tolerances.
5. Projector
Features: Magnifies the contour of a workpiece for measurement.
Applications: Inspect contour dimensions and shape deviations of workpieces, especially for small, complex parts in molds.
6. Optical Measuring Instrument
Features: Non-contact, ideal for high-precision requirements.
