Summary
In the die/mold manufacturing process, uses measuring instruments and visual checks to inspect whether the die/mold's shape, dimensions, and surface condition conform to design specifications, ensuring quality.
Description
Die/mold inspectors are specialists who verify the finish of dies/molds after manufacturing. They understand product drawings and tolerances, and strictly measure dimensions and shapes using calipers, micrometers, 3D measuring machines, etc. They record and report inspection results, and if there are deviations from standards, analyze the causes and provide feedback to the processing department. High-precision die/mold inspection directly affects product quality and production efficiency, requiring meticulous attention and high expertise.
Future Outlook
The importance of quality assurance in manufacturing remains unchanged, and the introduction of 3D measuring machines and automated measurement systems will advance and specialize the role of inspectors.
