Abstract
Development of Rubber Mould Inline and Offline Process Inspection reduce lead time and increase the quality of mould inspection in terms of accuracy. For this study with two available methods selected: CNC control (Touch probe on machining centers) and hand-control (Portable arm Coordinate measuring machine), these equipments are used along with specialized software which is capable of measuring the three-dimensional coordinate as well as analyzing the result. Online process inspection is done on the machine during production of which the adjustment is made. Offline process inspection is examined after production which involves rechecking the dimensions before sending to the customer. The experiment results show that there is no significant difference between the two measurement methods. Nevertheless from operation point of view, the Portable Arm Coordinate measuring machine has an advantage in its simplicity, and require less operation lead time.
