  • Patent number: 6580971
    Abstract: A multipoint inspection system for evaluating manufactured assemblies includes a robotic arm and a robot controller for controlling the robotic arm. A camera is mounted to an end of the robotic arm and includes a camera controller for capturing images. The robot controller is in communication with the camera controller and the robot controller causes the robotic arm to position the camera at a first inspection point. The camera controller then causes the camera to capture a first inspection point image of a manufactured assembly at the first inspection point. The robotic controller then causes the robotic arm to position the camera at a next inspection point where the camera controller then causes the camera to capture a next inspection point image of the manufactured assembly at the next inspection point.
