Quality department in manufacturing process

As manufacturers strive for six sigma manufacturing processes, and zero defects, the roll of the quality department has significantly changed. Quality departments must now become actively involved in the manufacturing process from engineering to product packing and shipment.

Optical inspection technology

One of the major traditional faults of an optical inspection instrument is the subjectivity of the operator. It has a very drastic consequence on the measurement. The differences between the operators are commonplace as it is up to the device operator to determine where the feature being inspected begins and ends.

Types of optical inspection instruments

Optical inspection instruments can be put into four basic categories. Optical comparators, microscopes, video and laser systems. Optical comparators utilize traditional optics to magnify and project the image of an object onto a glass screen. This type of optical inspection instrument is by far the most widely used and is also the least expensive method of optical non-contact inspection in use today.

History of optical inspection instruments

The basic principle of an optical gaging instrument is to provide a method to inspect a desired feature with versatile way of non-contact gaging. This enables manufacturers the ability to inspect a wide variety of parts without the need for complex fixtures. This non-contact method of inspection allows an inspector to view a desired feature using the magnification ability of optics.Optical inspection instruments allow to determine characteristics such as  size, shape, location or surface finish.
