Match the optical method to the part

Optical inspection covers several different technologies. A camera-based vision machine, an optical comparator and a 3D surface measurement system do not necessarily perform the same task. Start with the dimensions and geometries on your drawing. Ask the supplier which features the proposed system can measure, how they are illuminated and how the result is validated on your actual material and surface finish.

Questions to prepare before contacting a supplier

  • 2D profiles, feature heights or full 3D geometry required by the drawing.
  • Field of view, measuring travel and access to the inspected features.
  • Part size, fixture, surface finish and lighting conditions.
  • Manual or automatic inspection, reporting and production cycle.
  • Demonstration results, calibration, training and local support.

Transparent, reflective, dark or flexible parts may require different illumination and preparation. Ask for a trial on representative components before selecting the system. Explain whether you need occasional first-article inspection or a repeatable production routine.
