Ensuring stringent medical part quality is challenging, but with the right vision system, manufacturers can utilize powerful technology to help determine that the challenges are being met. Vision systems are crucial to minimizing waste and saving time and money throughout the manufacturing process.
Quick inspection checks are often used in-process to determine that design specifications are being met. Tolerancing can be used to confirm that intricate features are being produced accurately, within an acceptable range. When placed in a walkup metrology scenario, often directly on the shop floor, vision systems can be used by virtually any employee involved in a manufacturing process to perform an inspection check, eliminating quality control bottlenecks. Errors can be caught in real time and adjusted in-process, so that the finished product is right the first time, preventing costly rework or scrap.
