Level 3 Inspection Unveils Turnkey Smart Inspection System at OrthoTec

WARSAW, Ind., May 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Level 3 Inspection LLC (L3I) of
Florida and Indiana, an ISO 9001, AS9100 and AAAM 44.9:OI/OS certified process
engineering and dimensional inspection firm, has announced that the Smart
Inspection Station(TM) (SiS(TM)) will be unveiled at the OrthoTec exposition in
Winona Lake, Indiana, May 24, 2011.

Long known for its professional metrology services and advanced dimensional
inspection reports on quick turnaround, L3I has just expanded with a turnkey
solutions division, Smart Inspection Systems LLC, to custom-configure and
implement modern inspection systems directly in orthopaedic and other precision
manufacturers’ facilities, so manufacturers can obtain needed inspection results
in minutes.

“We’ve been listening intently to what our clients want in order to adopt this
21st-century measurement and inspection technology,” said L3I CEO Bill Greene.
“The SiS(TM) is the culmination of our 11 years’ experience with these
technologies. With its configuration options, ease, speed and automation, it’s
an ideal platform for shop floor precision parts inspection.”

The SiS(TM) is an easy-to-use White Light Scanning (WLS) and Computer Aided
Inspection (CAI) system that orthopaedic and other precision manufacturers can
install practically anywhere in their operations. It uses fringe-light patterns
to digitize the surfaces of orthopaedic implants and other precision
manufactured parts, automatically generating full PDF inspection reports with
minimal operator input and personnel training.

WLS provides a thorough understanding of geometric form, with millions of data
points across the surface. “Studies have proved that [L3I's] system and method
of inspection for implants is as accurate or better than our CMM’s. Since the
white light scanning processes have the required accuracy and can cover so much
more of the feature surface, their data is a more accurate representation of …
true size and form.” – Metrology Director, Orthopaedic OEM

Measurement Systems Evaluations (MSE) and Gauge Repeatability and
Reproducibility (GR&R) studies have consistently demonstrated measurement
accuracies of 0.000040″. These reports are available upon request.

Although the SiS(TM) is fully transportable and able to withstand the rigors of
shop floor deployment, L3I will shuttle participants between the OrthoTec expo
and its central Warsaw configuration laboratory for scheduled 15-minute
demonstrations on May 24th and 25th. Transportation and refreshments will be
provided.
