I can not tell you which machine types are the majority in the market. For these numbers you should contact Charles Henry from Ceeris. I guess with the term low quantity / high volume you mean low mix / high volume which means low variety of differe

Here are some of the problems (and my pet peeves) that can be found during a machine set-up. I have run into each of these many times over the years. Wrong part value: This can usually be traced to a purchasing, incoming inspection, or kitting mist

I agree with gregp on this one. I'm not going to discuss AOI as my company manufactures AOI systems, but I will comment on the CMM question as I use/have used these to qualify calibration targets and to characterize our systems. We actually have a
