Inspection Technology
Visual inspection is used for monitoring or quality control of the production. Production processes can be adjusted when read back information is provided and the parameters that influence the production can be altered. Products not meeting acceptable quality levels (AQL) can be rejected prior to packing to ensure the shipped products meet customers' requirements. There are various types of visual inspection. The three (3) main different types include:
Dimensional inspection
Geometric aspects of the product such as length, width, angles, height, etc.
Cosmetic inspection
Inspection for cracks, stones, inclusions, airlines, chips, dirt, etc.
Printing inspection
Missing/damaged text, letters, logo's, expiry date, batch number.
