Choosing Inspect Part Tools

The Inspect Part tools are grouped by types of inspections:

The Presence/Absence Tools are used to qualify whether or not a feature is present or absent in the image.

The Defect Detection Tools are used to determine if a part or object was produced with a defect, such as a crack, crimp, dent, gap, nick or scratch.

Note: The Defect Detection Tools are only supported on the In-Sight vision systems.

The Calibration Tools are used to construct a calibration file that can be shared among jobs.
