IMTS 2026 is coming — see complete part inspection in seconds with the Automated VisionLab 150 X, live at Booth 134064.

This patented 3D gauging system handles parts up to 150mm in length and 50mm in diameter, measuring dimensional features, thread characteristics, and surface defects in a single pass — no special fixtures, no manual loading. Cracks, nicks, rust, excess plating — it catches what other systems miss, at full production speed.

If you're running high-volume production and need complete part validation without slowing down your line, this is worth seeing in person.

Visit us September 14–19, Booth 134064, McCormick Place, Chicago.

30 days until International Manufacturing Technology Show!

If you're planning your show floor route, put us on it. GI will be at Booth 134064 with the Automated VisionLab running live — high-speed inspection, tight-tolerance measurement, and defect detection happening in real time, not on a slide.

Whether you're running high-volume production or wrestling with cosmetic defects that slip past manual inspection, we'd like to show you what's possible.

Mark your calendar: September 14–19, McCormick Place, Chicago. Booth 134064.

It's a wrap on another great summer internship here at General Inspection! Thank you to Ella Nygaard for spending her summer with us, from purchasing to sales, marketing, and accounting, she jumped in everywhere and made a real impact on our team.

A special shout-out to Kim in purchasing for being such a wonderful mentor to Ella this summer.

Wishing you all the best, Ella, we loved having you, and we can't wait to see what you do next!

Meet the Automated VisionLab live at GI's booth during International Manufacturing Technology Show 2026.

We're bringing our vision inspection system to the show floor so you can watch it work in real time: high-speed inspection, tight-tolerance measurement, and defect detection running exactly as it would on your line. No slides, no simulations — just the system doing what it's built to do at production speed.

If your operation is wrestling with how to inspect faster without sacrificing accuracy, this is worth 10 minutes of your time at IMTS.

Visit us at Booth 134064, September 14–19, McCormick Place, Chicago. See the Automated VisionLab in action.

🎉 Big congrats to our partners at Xcelicut Precision Machining!
Production Machining just featured Xcelicut's investment in our VisionLab-150 3D automated gaging system — and the results speak for themselves. From faster first-part approvals to eliminating operator variability, this is exactly the kind of shop-floor impact we love to see.
Read the full story to see how Xcelicut is scaling high-volume precision machining without compromising on tolerances.

Automated 3D gaging is reshaping first-part inspection for high-volume precision machining.

Xcelicut Precision Machining, an ISO 9001-certified shop specializing in precision-turned components for electronics, aerospace and defense, has deployed the VisionLab-150 3D automated gaging system from General Inspection, LLC — targeting the optimization of first-part inspection and enabling rapid production transitions without sacrificing tight tolerance requirements.

The system replaces time-consuming manual measurements with high-speed, automated 3D scanning. Key advantages on the production floor include:

- Rapid first-part approval, reducing time before CNC Swiss-type and multi-spindle lathes begin production runs
- 3D form measurement that verifies complex geometries, tapers and GD&T features beyond what traditional 2D optical systems can capture
- Measurement consistency by removing operator variability from the inspection process
- Scalability that supports high-volume output with reliable lead times

As founder Will Fennell notes, the system "allows our expert machinists to move from set up to full-scale production with total confidence in part accuracy."
