Abstract: An inspection fixture, including a manifold having an inlet opening and an outlet opening for communicating with a negative pressure source for producing a vacuum within the manifold. A part collet is provided for being positioned in the inlet opening and held in place by a vacuum exerted on a downstream side of the collet. The part collet includes a part holder opening communicating with the manifold for exerting a vacuum on a downstream side of a part positioned in the part holder opening for inspection. The part collet may be quickly and accurately installed in and removed from the manifold by breaking the vacuum on the downstream side of the collet. The part may also be quickly and accurately installed in and removed from the part collet by breaking the vacuum hold on the downstream side of the part.
