Abstract

The growing popularity of automatic inspection techniques was evidenced by the attendance at a conference on automatic inspection and quality control in Chicago last October. At that conference, several reasons were presented to justify the development and implementation of automatic industrial quality control systems. These include: (1) releasing workers from tedious or repetitive tasks, (2) enabling precise and continuous inspection in inaccessible environments or under hazardous conditions, such as measuring the thickness of hot steel, (3) improving inspection system reliability, and (4) improving inspection system predictability.
