The article presents scenarios that demonstrate the successful application of large mold inspection and measurement. Triangle Tool Corp. of Milwaukee, Wisconsin inspects molds that weigh 100,000 pounds or more with onboard measuring software by swapping the cutter with a touch probe and uses the mill as Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) after finish machining. The Portable Coordinate Measurement Machine (PCMM) approach is used by Delta Tooling of Tacoma, Washington while Wilbert Plastic Services, Inc. also uses a PCMM during incoming inspection.
