Abstract: A closed loop system for a grind line including at least one grinder configured to machine a part with the grind line; a first coordinate measuring machine operatively coupled to the at least one grinder; a second coordinate measuring machine operatively coupled to the at least one grinder; and a processor operatively coupled to the at least one grinder and the first coordinate measuring machine and the second coordinate measuring machine, the processor configured to provide processor outputs to the at least one grinder responsive to data collected from the first coordinate measuring machine and the second coordinate measuring machine.

Abstract: A method is provided for inspecting a device comprising a plurality of bristles. During this method, image data provided from an electronic optical sensor is received. The image data is indicative of an image of at least a portion of the bristles. A bristle configuration (e.g., an angle) of at least one of the bristles (e.g., an average bristle) in the image is determined by processing the image data with a computer processor.
