AUTOMATIC INSPECTION

SINCE THE ADVENT OF MASS PRODUCTION AND THE INTRODUCTION OF DIMENSIONALLY CONTROLLED PIECE PARTS, QUALITY CONTROL HAS REQUIRED INSPECTION DEVICES CAPABLE OF KEEPING PACE WITH PRODUCTION. ORIGINALLY, MULTIDIMENSIONAL MANUAL AND SEMIAUTOMATIC GAGES WERE CAPABLE OF THIS. PRESENTLY FULLY AUTOMATED GAGES ARE REQUIRED TO SATISFY THE CONTINUAL DEMAND FOR 100% INSPECTION OF MASS PRODUCED PARTS.
