ABSTRACT:
An apparatus (10) and method are provided for inspecting an air bag module (12) having a deployment door (15). The apparatus (10) includes a plurality of sensors (55), a base structure (52), and a pneumatic motor (56). The base structure (52) supports the air bag module (12). The pneumatic motor (56) moves the base structure (52) relative to the sensors (55), and thus moves the base structure (52) to and from an inspection station. The sensors (55) sense a characteristic of the air bag module (12) when the sensors (55) are actuated. A controller (62) actuates the sensors (55) when the air bag module (12) is supported at the inspection station by the base structure (52). The controller (62) provides an electrical signal in response to the sensing by the sensors (55). The electrical signal provided by the controller (62) indicates the characteristic of the air bag module (12) that is sensed by the sensors (55).
