  • PG Inspection Technologies recently released version 9 of its REACTION software. The software works in conjunction with the PG1000 optical cutting tool inspection system, ensuring the cutting tools used to manufacture parts are within the manufacturer’s specifications.  

    The new software version features a simplified user interface and menu system, the addition of new calculation instructions, demonstration and training videos as well as a manual. There is also a new Excel data dump feature and a new reporting feature. This allows users to easily create fully customized PDF reports.

  • PG1000 REACTION Software
    The PG1000 REACTION software was developed exclusively for cutting tool inspections. The software is very easy to learn and very user friendly. It was developed over the course of 25 years with significant input from our customers....

  • The PG1000 REACTION software was developed by PG Inspection Technologies for the exclusive purpose of cutting tool inspection. The word REACTION is an acronym for REAltime Cutting Tool InspectION.
    Our software digitally analyzes five million pixels, sorting over sixteen million colors at a rate of fifteen times per second to find patterns and shapes, overlooking the excessive glare from too much direct light, shadows, irregular or broken shapes.
    REACTION software does not electronically enhance, crop, or magnify tool images in any way. What you see is exactly what the camera captures. The GPU and CPU analyze to help you, the user, inspect your cutting tools.
    We did not use a CAD system as the backbone of our software. CAD systems, while great for drawing images and dimensioning them on paper, are incapable of doing complex custom image analysis. Instead, we wrote our own software to fill the needs of cutting tool inspection. In the process, we’ve eliminated the extraneous features, enabling inspectors to work more efficiently.
    Our goal is to help enhance your cutting tool inspection. That’s why the PG software development team listened to you. In fact, our software incorporates a significant amount of feedback received from customers over the years. The end result is a robust, made-in-the-USA system that is easy to understand and highly adaptable to user preferences.
