Integrating Vision and Force Measurement into Medical Quality Control

Vital for ensuring compliance to federal regulations, dimensional metrology systems facilitate critical measurement of medical parts, and force testing systems are used to verify and validate material compliance of medical devices and materials used in the production of medical devices. It is important to understand the options when selecting the right metrology system and/or force testing solution to meet the requirements of increasingly tighter accuracies, traceability, and the need for 100 percent inspection (see the sidebar, “Metrology System Selection Tips”).
