1. Before conducting optical inspection, you need to prepare some necessary tools and equipment.
This includes high-precision microscopes, measuring instruments (such as micrometers, vernier calipers, etc.), light sources, and microscope moving platforms.
These devices will help us observe and measure various parts of the mold and accurately assess its quality.
2. Appearance inspection of the mold.
This step mainly involves observing the surface of the mold with the naked eye.
Check for obvious defects or damage such as cracks, scratches, corrosion, etc.
At the same time, it is also necessary to check whether the size of the mold meets the design requirements.
3. The next step is to use a microscope to observe and measure every detail of the mold.
First, you need to adjust the magnification and focus of the microscope to obtain a clear image.
Then, microscopic textures or defects on the mold surface, such as bubbles, depressions, distortions, etc., are observed through a microscope.
If an abnormality is found, it needs to be recorded and repaired in time.
4. In terms of measurement, tools such as micrometers or vernier calipers can be used to measure the size of the mold.
These measurements will be used to evaluate the accuracy and precision of the mold.
At the same time, optical comparison instruments can also be used to compare the differences between the shape and contour of the mold surface and the design requirements.
5. The choice of light source is also very important.
Different types of light sources can provide different lighting effects and angles to better demonstrate the features of the mold.
For example, side lighting can emphasize molding details and reveal hidden flaws.
6. When conducting optical inspection, you need to pay attention to the following points:
