**Balloon Cone Wall Thickness**

Lumetrics® developed a prototype manual balloon inspection system intended to provide measurement of balloon wall thickness of the body, cones, and proximal and distal ends.  This fixture is used in conjunction with The OptiGauge™ Thickness Measurement System and will greatly reduce inspection time of balloons.  We are currently soliciting ideas on how to integrate this concept into existing equipment you may have and into your balloon development process.  Please review these pictures of the prototype and send us your suggestions.
