The Gi-100DT inspection system from General Inspection LLC is equipped with a total of 6 cameras providing complete dimensional inspection, internal and external visual defect detection, and top and bottom surface inspection for a full range of turned aerospace collars.
For dimensional inspection, the Gi-100DT comes standard with three cameras, one from the side, one from the bottom and one from the top. The system, which was recently installed installed at a California-based manufacturer of aerospace collars, bushings, and nuts, also features a side camera that measures all profile features including threads, lengths, diameters, and angles. The top and bottom cameras measure OD, ID, roundness, and concentricity. Parts can be measured to print specifications through Gi’s software, and each dimension is saved and recalled by part number for fast part to part changeover. Defect detection, fast changeover, and inspection rates (minimum of 300 parts per minute) are achievable, the company says.
In addition to the dimensional inspection, the Gi-100DT detects surface defects. The visual defect detection system is equipped with three additional cameras, each with patented optics positioned above and below the parts to detect internal and external visual defects (360 degrees without part rotation). The surface defects include dents, scratches, chatter, pitting, and chips.

- chatter
chatter
Condition of vibration involving the machine, workpiece and cutting tool. Once this condition arises, it is often self-sustaining until the problem is corrected. Chatter can be identified when lines or grooves appear at regular intervals in the workpiece. These lines or grooves are caused by the teeth of the cutter as they vibrate in and out of the workpiece and their spacing depends on the frequency of vibration.
- inner diameter ( ID)
inner diameter ( ID)
Dimension that defines the inside diameter of a cavity or hole. See OD, outer diameter.
- outer diameter ( OD)
outer diameter ( OD)
Dimension that defines the exterior diameter of a cylindrical or round part. See ID, inner diameter.
- pitting
pitting
Localized corrosion of a metal surface, confined to a point or small area, that takes the form of cavities.
