In-House Inspection

Our Inspection and Calibration Lab

Mantz Automation provides in-house inspection for injection mold tooling, contract-machined parts, plastic parts, and electrodes. Our inspection lab was built in 2025 and includes CMM equipment and 3D scanning technology.


With advanced ZEISS inspection equipment and in-house expertise, we can verify critical dimensions, geometries, and tolerances throughout the manufacturing process, helping you catch issues early, maintain quality, and move confidently into production.


Our in-house inspection capabilities include:


  • Injection mold tooling inspection
  • Contract machining inspection
  • Plastic part inspection
  • Electrode inspection
  • CMM measurement
  • 3D scanning
  • Inspection documentation

Zeiss 12/18/8

The Zeiss 12/18/8 is Mantz’s larger coordinate measuring machine. Its expanded measurement envelope and higher weight capacity make it suitable for inspecting larger tooling, components, and parts that require additional measurement space.


  • X-axis: 1,200 mm
  • Y-axis: 1,800 mm
  • Z-axis: 800 mm
  • Weight capacity: 2,645 lb.


A coordinate measuring machine measures points on a part along multiple axes to document dimensions and geometry.

Zeiss DuraMax CMM

The Zeiss DuraMax is a coordinate measuring machine for inspecting parts and components within a 500 mm measurement envelope. Its 220-pound weight capacity allows it to accommodate a variety of smaller tooling, machined parts, plastic parts, and electrodes.


  • X-axis: 500 mm
  • Y-axis: 500 mm
  • Z-axis: 500 mm
  • Weight capacity: 220 lb.


The DuraMax gives Mantz an additional CMM option for projects that fit within its measurement range.
