DURING THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW MEDICAL DEVICES, THE VALIDATION OF COMPONENT DIMENSIONS BECOME IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS. BY PROVIDING THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF INSPECTION PROGRAMS, THE VISION SYSTEM CAN PROVIDE THE NECESSARY INSPECTION INFORMATION THROUGHOUT THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS. PRODUCTION EXAMPLES OF LIGATING CLIPS ARE PROVIDED IN THE FOLLOWING INSPECTION PROGRAMS. THE CAD IMPORTATION INSPECTION PROGRAM PROCESSES AN IMAGE INTO A FORMAT THAT CAN BE IMPORTED INTO AUTOCAD. THE FREESTATE INSPECTION PROGRAM PLACES VISION TOOLS THAT ARE BASED ON THE PART'S CENTROIOD AT LOCATIONS ON THE PART. THE DYNAMIC INSPECTION PROGRAM INSPECTS THE FINAL PRODUCT IN AN AUTOMATED FIXTURE.
