  • Page 80 3) Mould work has to be correct first time, bearing in mind the cost of the product. RD-11M provides the world's first practical "SHRINKAGE CALCULATION" function to help the mould maker calculate the shrinkage and verify the calculated expanded/ reduced dimension.

  • Page 81: Shrinkage Calculation

    It is normally used in a case where incomplete shrinkage calculation have been made, ie some dimensions have been forgotten to be marked onto the drawing. Using the RD-11M during the machining process, the operator can calculate the shrinkage dimensions directly with the readout. RD-11M also provides an easy method of verifying the calculated dimension marked on the drawings.
  • Page 82 Technologies 3. Shrinkage Compensation When the operator is familiar with the shrinkage function of RD-11M, instead of calculating all the shrink dimensions and marking them onto the drawing, the operator can use the shrinkage compensation features of the RD-11M which actually expand or reduce all display dimension acccording to the multiples of the shrink factor, thereby, the need to calculate all the working dimensions one by one.
