(George Products Co.: Middletown, DE)  -- Industry leaders frustrated with high cost of inspection push for speed in the quality department without sacrificing accuracy or adding complexity. These days, equipment is only as good as the software that runs it. “Customers don’t want a collection of parts; they want a turn-key solution to their inspection problems that includes powerful software to drive the system,” says Erik Adams of George Products Co.

The OASIS Inspection System is driven by its own proprietary software that powers the system to operate at very high inspection speeds. New to the system is a strobe light source that creates the part shadow to be measured, and is controlled by the OASIS software to pulse light in micro-second bursts that effectively stops action.

Couple that with a strobe rate of six bursts per second, synchronized with the shutter on the digital camera, and the result is the OASIS’ ability to measure all external dimensions in under a second—all without the part ever needing to stop.
