Abstract The secret to successful inspection is in software that takes charge of the process via control, repeatability and direction. Most inspection systems are slow because the inspector is given the responsibility of finding the required points to measure. The software that drives them was written to measure, not locate points. When an inspector has to take time to search for points, most of the inspection process is consumed with the search, not measuring. This problem is common to both classical CMMs and the newer digital measuring arm systems. For applications where only a few parts are checked or where only a few points on a single part are to be checked, speed is not much of a consideration. However, if the number of points to be checked is greater than a dozen or so, then search time becomes the dominant time-consuming factor as well as a bottleneck to production. Control Station - a system made up of measuring hardware, combined with a new software package - from FARO Technologies (Lake Mary, FL ) solves this problem. XX
