VisionGauge systems are regularly used in the inspection and measurement of total hip/knee replacement medical and orthopedic implants

VisionGauge Digital Optical Comparators carry out complete inspection and measurement on various plastic implants and other medical parts.

VisionGauge Digital Optical Comparators include specialized illumination for the inspection and measurement of medical polymer implants.

Many total hip replacement implants contain ultra-high molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE).

VisionGauge OnLine’s new CAD Fitting tool only affects currently out of tolerance areas (highlighted in red)

Sketch 1 shows an area of a part that is out of tolerance. The CAD Auto-Align™ tool would attempt to carry out the correction “A” to align the CAD nominal and the part. The CAD Fitting™ tool, on the other hand, would only attempt to bring the part back in the tolerance band, i.e. applying the smaller correction “B”.
