Inline Versus Offline Inspection

Selection criteria

As with any piece of equipment you spec out, the application is going to determine the extent to which you add options. Some industries require redundant inspection, while some converters may offer redundant inspection as a measure of quality to their customers. According to Doerr, the first criteria in selecting an inspection system should revolve less around the actual system specifications, but more toward determining what type of solution best fits the application, your operators, your company, and your overall quality objectives. “Criteria should include an evaluation of a system feature/capability set that matches the practical production situation,” he asserts.
