VISUAL INSPECTION DEVICE AND PROCESS

A vision inspection system capable of high resolution of distanced portions of the same part is provided, allowing for dimensional calculations to be made on large parts with high resolution. A process for inspection of a part is provided, comprising the steps of: mapping a first portion of the part; mapping a second portion of the part; defining a first reference coordinate corresponding to a first reference point located on the first portion of the part; defining a second reference coordinate corresponding to a second reference point located on the second portion of the part; determining the number of coordinates between the first reference coordinate and the second reference coordinate; calculating a constant corresponding to a third portion of the part, wherein the third portion of the part is not mapped; and adding the constant to the number of coordinates between the first and the second reference coordinates.
