Revolutionizing Injection Molding: ZYGO’s LS 650 Transforms Surface Characteristic Assessment with Unprecedented Precision and Data Completeness

The injection molding process is a delicate ballet of precision and accuracy. At the heart of this process are two meticulously machined mold plates, the surface characteristics of which are crucial for ensuring the production of high-quality parts. Yet, a pervasive challenge that often plagues the industry is assessing these surface characteristics without damaging the part or compromising on the data’s completeness.

Recognizing this, ZYGO presents its novel solution: the LS 650, an innovative tool specifically designed for mold plate applications. The uniqueness of the LS 650 lies in its non-contact feature, which leverages white light interferometry and coherence scanning interferometry. These advanced technologies provide exceptional vertical precision over the entire surface, reaching an impressive sub-nanometer precision for every stitched tile. This approach bypasses the pitfalls of contact-based techniques, ensuring that the part remains undamaged during the measurement process.

Traditional techniques often lack comprehensive data coverage, focusing on sparse points and potentially overlooking critical details that could result in inferior products. In contrast, the LS 650 takes a more holistic approach, capturing a million or more data points in a single field of view. Stitching together several fields of view provides millions upon millions of data points, offering an unmatched level of detail.

The outcome of utilizing ZYGO’s LS 650 is nothing short of transformative. This innovative solution leads to a significant reduction in production errors, driving higher-quality outcomes and improved efficiency in the injection molding process. It delivers detailed insights that were previously missed, enabling manufacturers to mitigate issues before they impact the final product.

Ultimately, ZYGO’s LS 650 goes beyond providing a solution; it revolutionizes the approach to surface characteristic assessment in injection molding, leading the industry towards a future where precision, efficiency, and data completeness are the norm. With ZYGO’s LS 650, manufacturers can now experience unmatched application capabilities and consistently deliver superior-quality products, thereby enhancing their competitiveness in the marketplace.
