A high quality of inspection is required today, even for small components manufactured in large batches. We find out how one manufacturer achieved 100% inspection of its mass produced components. Go or no go, good or bad, this can no longer be a subjective decision. Visual inspection carried out manually by human beings has a number of inadequacies which can not be tolerated in many manufacturing environments today. Schauerte Prazisionsdrehtechnik, a German manufacturer of small components, has improved its product quality and has redesigned its manufacturing processes to become more efficient. The company produces ready-to-mount precision lathe-work components such as valves and fittings used in plant construction, mechanical engineering and automotive industries. Reliable final testing became an important consideration for the company and it set out to find a comprehensive, self-contained system that could ensure a high level of reliability and which could be integrated into the company's data communications system and, above all, which could allow flexibility in adapting to different part variants.
