General Inspection’s VisionLab 3D measuring system can handle versatile applications, including first-piece inspection, SPC sampling, final audits or 100% inspection using pick-and-place automation to streamline inspection processes. It can all be accomplished in a fraction of the time compared to manual gauges.

The system measures all profile characteristics. The company says it is the only true 3-dimensional gauging system that provides complete part measurements in less than 7 seconds. The system can measure all profile features, including pertinent GD&T characteristics, as well as all thread features using optics and software algorithms that use virtual system-22 thread wire frames. 

An integrated thread database provides point-and-click programming. An optional end-view feature measures and detects defects on both ends of parts measuring features such as recesses, ID/OD, throughholes and counterbores. 

In addition to measuring all profile characteristics, VisionLab offers optional visual defect detection on all part surfaces. The optional surface control is used to detect surface detects, such as bad plating, thread patch presence and quality, as well as measure knurling width, gap and height. Finally, upper tooling and a bit kit are available for uneven parts or parts with a recess drive.

The system provides comprehensive data reports and graphs with data collection that can be exported to third-party SPC packages. The system is easy to program via Windows-based software. Templates are saved by part number and then recalled for instant inspection.

VisionLab is well suited for measuring and inspecting turned components, and is intended to be in the lab or on the shop floor so that it can be fully utilized to replace manual inspection.

Three models are available — VisionLab-75, VisionLab-150 and VisionLab-X. The VisionLab-75 can handle parts up to 75 mm in length and up to 35 mm in diameter. The VisionLab-150 can handle parts up to 150 mm in length and 50 mm in diameter. For larger sizes, the VisionLab-X can be custom designed to fit most applications.
