Ron,
                        I would also recommend the ASC systems, we have just
purchased the AP212 model with programmable x-y table. Having used other
manufacturers for off-line inspection previously, I can tell you the ASC
systems offer much more in capability and ease of use for the same price. I
would strongly recommend that you purchase the Verax SPC software with the
system. It's very powerful, easy to setup and configure and automatically
performs the data collection and charting. You can get more info at

you need any other details....
