<p>An automatic system for illuminating, inspecting and measuring stents (12) and other precision cut tubes and components made of: a linear array electronic camera (24) with a lens (22), a light source (20) to provide necessary ilumination to create an image on said linear array camera (24), mandrel (14) onto which the tube (12) is mounted during inspection, a rotary stage (18) for rotating the mandrel (14), and a computer (64) based electronic imaging system that creates a line-by-line image of stent (12) as it rotates under said camera (24).</p> |
