Visit General Inspection at the Fastener Expo October 9-11

General Inspection will be exhibiting at International Fastener Expo at the Mandala Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas from October 9-11. General Inspection is located at booth 1815 and will be displaying their latest gauging system, VisionLab.

VisionLab is so versatile; it can be used for first piece inspection, SPC sampling, final audits or it can be used for 100% inspection using pick and place automation. VisionLab measures all profile characteristics; it’s the only true 3-Dimensional gauging system that provides complete part measurements in less than seven seconds. The system can measure all profile features, including pertinent GD&T characteristics, as well as all thread features using patented optics and software algorithms that use virtual system-22 thread wireframes. An integrated thread database provides point and click programming. An optional end-view feature measures and detects defects on both ends of parts, measuring features such as: recesses, inner/outer diameters, through holes and counterbores. Optional surface control is used to detect surface defects, such as bad plating, thread patch presence and quality, as well as measure knurling width, gap, and height. Finally, upper tooling and a bit kit are available for uneven parts or parts with a recess drive. VisionLab provides comprehensive data reports and graphs with data collection that can be exported to third-party SPC packages.

With Windows-based software, VisionLab is easy to program. Templates are saved by part number and then recalled for instant inspection. VisionLab is the ideal solution for measuring and inspecting turned components and is intended to be in the lab or on the shop floor so that it can be fully utilized replacing manual inspection. Three models are available: VisionLab-75, VisionLab-150 and VisionLab-X. The VisionLab-75 can handle parts up to 75mm length and up to 35mm diameter. The VisionLab-150 can handle parts up to 150mm length and 50mm diameter. For larger sizes, the VisionLab-X can be custom designed to fit most applications.

If you are unable to attend International Fastener Expo, General Inspection offers live online demonstrations. To schedule a VisionLab demonstration, email [email protected], or call 248.625.0529.
