The method and apparatus for inspecting parts generally includes three main components: an indexer assembly, a clamp assembly, and a camera system. The indexer assembly is configured to rotate parts individually into proximity to the clamp assembly. The clamp assembly is configured to clamp the part and move the part into proximity to the camera system. The clamp assembly may be comprised of a first portion and a second portion which are independently moveable with respect to one another. The camera system is configured to scan the part as the clamp assembly moves the part past and create an image thereof. The camera system is further configured to analyze the image to inspect the part.
