PRECISION MANUFACTURING REQUIRES DIMENSIONAL INSPECTION AS AN IMPORTANT FUNCTION OF PROCESS CONTROL. TO PROVIDE INTEGRITY TO THE PROCESS, THE INSPECTION EQUIPMENT MUST EXCEED THE SYSTEM'S REQUIREMENTS FOR PRODUCTION, ACCURACY, AND FLEXIBILITY. VARIOUS INSPECTION METHODS RANGING FROM PLUG GAGES TO LASER SYSTEMS ARE AVAILABLE. NONE BY ITSELF MEETS ALL REQUIREMENTS. DEDICATED DIMENSIONAL PRODUCTION GAGES AND COORDINATE MEASURING MACHINES (CMMS) CAN WORK TOGETHER AS AN INTEGRATED INSPECTION SYSTEM, PERFORMING A LARGE PART OF THE PRODUCTION SYSTEM'S INSPECTION NEEDS.
