The MIH-1 Free Standing Manual Inspection Station, MIH-dx Portable Manual Inspection Hood and MIH-dxs Semi-Automatic Manual Inspection Hood are ideal for small volume and sensitive product production runs, clinical labs, re-work of rejects from fully automated machines and as a validation tool for operators of this system and other in-line semi-automatic inspection systems. In addition, multiple inspection hoods up to 12 stations with transport conveyors are available for higher production levels.
