API precision measurement service helps customers successfully complete the acceptance of large molds

Large mold
Mold is the general name of molds and tools used in industrial production to make various molded articles. According to its different uses, the material and shape of the mold have diverse characteristics. However, no matter how its material and shape change, the essence of the mold is a precision tool, so it has high requirements for its processing accuracy. The size of large molds used in high-end industrial production can exceed 100 meters (such as wind turbine blade mold), but the processing accuracy requirements are still strict.
Machining accuracy test of large mould

Based on the characteristics of large size and high machining accuracy requirements of large molds, it is difficult to achieve accurate evaluation of machining accuracy by using conventional inspection methods. The Laser Tracker, as a representative instrument in the field of large size and high precision 3D measurement, has the characteristics of large scale, high precision, flexibility and portability, which makes the high-precision detection of large molds no longer a problem; The detection technology of laser tracker is also more and more widely used in the field of mold detection.

Large mold acceptance
When purchasing new large molds, users need to check and accept the molds delivered to the site by the manufacturer, and the check and acceptance of whether the processing accuracy meets the user's requirements is particularly important.
However, as mentioned in the previous article, in the process of large mold machining accuracy detection, without professional tools, it is difficult to achieve accurate evaluation of complex surfaces and structures, resulting in poor acceptance effect.
API Precision Measurement Service Solution
API, as a leader in the field of precision dimension measurement, in addition to providing the sales of precision measuring instruments of its own brand, has also established a team of high-quality measurement service engineers worldwide, which can provide customers with long-term and short-term equipment leasing and contract measurement services.
In this case, API was invited to provide and implement a solution for the acceptance of large molds. API measurement service engineers use a Radian Core Laser Tracker to realize the entrance acceptance of large molds based on the comprehensive consideration of mold characteristics, user's actual acceptance needs and other factors.
During the measurement, as shown in Figure 4, using the ultra-high measurement accuracy of the Radian Core laser tracker at the micron level and the ultra-fast data acquisition rate of 1000 Hz, API engineers quickly acquired multiple points in the form of spatial point scanning, and carried out the best fit in the Measurement Software with sufficient amount of data, which basically restored the data state of the large mold during the factory inspection, and successfully completed the site acceptance. The entire inspection process took less than 20 minutes.
