An inspection and verification system includes an inspection fixture for inspecting a finished part prior to its placement in a shipping container. The inspection fixture signals a processor that the finished part has "passed" or "failed". A finished part that passes is placed in the shipping container, which is locked in a loading position on the weighing platform of an electronic scale. If the weight of the finished part does not match a standard finished part weight, the part is rejected, the shipping container is removed and quarantined, and a new shipping container is locked in the loading position. When the weight of the finished part matches the standard weight, the part is accepted and it remains in the shipping container. When the processor receives a number of "accept" signals equal to a standard shipping container quantity, it releases the shipping container.

What is claimed is: 1. An inspection and verification system, comprising: a loading structure having a coded label thereon, and configured to receive a finished part; a processor capable of at least accessing finished part information and receiving and sending electronic signals; a scanner for scanning the coded label and sending at least one electronic signal to the processor, including a first finished part identifier signal based on information scanned from the coded label; an inspection fixture having at least a sensor for inspecting the finished part prior to the loading structure receiving the part, and capable of sending electronic signals to the processor after the part is inspected; a detection apparatus configured to detect the presence of an inspected, finished part received to the loading structure and capable of sending an electronic signal to the processor when the inspected, finished part is received; and a restraining apparatus controlled by an electronic signal sent from the processor for selectively locking the loading structure into a loading position such that removal of the loading structure from the loading position is inhibited, and unlocking the loading structure to allow removal of the loading structure from the loading position. 2. The inspection and verification system of claim 1, wherein the inspection fixture scans a part label on the finished part, and sends a second finished part identifier signal to the processor based on information scanned from the part label. 3. The inspection and verification system of claim 2, wherein the processor compares the first finished part identifier signal to the second finished part identifier signal and "fails" the finished part when the two finished part identifier signals are not the same. 4. The inspection and verification system of claim 1, wherein the inspection fixture detects the presence of required components on the finished part, and sends a component signal to the processor based on the number of components detected. 5. The inspection and verification system of claim 4, wherein the processor accesses a standard component count for the finished part and compares this to the component signal received from the inspection fixture, and the processor "passes" the finished part when the component signal matches the standard component count, and "fails" the finished part when it does not. 6. The inspection and verification system of claim 5, further comprising a containment bin for quarantining the finished part when the processor "fails" it. 7. The inspection and verification system of claim 5, wherein the detection apparatus comprises a light curtain including a light beam disposed adjacent to the loading structure which sends a light curtain signal to the processor when the beam is broken. 8. The inspection and verification system of claim 7, wherein the processor accepts the finished part when it receives the light curtain signal after it "passes" the finished part, and rejects the finished part when it receives the light curtain signal after it "fails" the finished part. 9. The inspection and verification system of claim 1, wherein the detection apparatus comprises an electronic scale for weighing the finished part after it is received to the loading structure, and for sending a weight signal to the processor based on the finished part weight. 10. The inspection and verification system of claim 9, wherein the processor accesses a standard part weight for the finished part, and compares this to the weight signal received from the detection apparatus, the processor accepts the finished part when the weight signal matches the standard part weight, and rejects the finished part when it does not. 11. The inspection and verification system of claim 10, wherein the processor locks the system after the processor rejects the finished part, the system remaining locked until a manual user input unlocks the system. 12. The inspection and verification system of claim 10, wherein the electronic scale sends the weight signal to the processor when a next finished part is placed in the inspection fixture. 13. The inspection and verification system of claim 10, wherein the electronic scale sends the weight signal to the processor when an operator actuates a manual switch. 14. The inspection and verification system of claim 10, wherein the processor accesses a standard loading structure shipping quantity for the finished part, maintains a count of the number of finished parts it accepts, and signals the restraining apparatus to unlock the loading structure when the count equals the standard loading structure shipping quantity. 15. A method of inspection and verification, comprising: locking a loading structure into a loading position for receiving a finished part such that removal of the loading structure from the loading position is inhibited, the loading structure having a coded label thereon; programming a processor to at least selectively access finished part information and to receive and send electronic signals; scanning the coded label on the loading structure and sending a first finished part identifier signal to the processor, based on information scanned from the coded label; inspecting the finished part with an inspection fixture that sends a first signal to the processor based on the inspection; automatically accessing, with the processor, finished part information that corresponds to the first signal; automatically comparing, with the processor, the first signal to the corresponding finished part information, and "passing" the finished part when the first signal matches the corresponding finished part information and "failing" the finished part when it does not; quarantining the finished part when the processor "fails" the finished part; receiving the finished part to the loading structure when the processor "passes" the finished part; verifying whether the finished part was properly received to the loading structure using a detection apparatus that sends a second signal to the processor; allowing inspection of additional finished parts when the processor, based on a comparison of the second signal to accessed finished part information, indicates that the finished part was properly received to the loading structure; automatically prohibiting, with the processor, inspection of additional finished parts when the processor, based on a comparison of the second signal to accessed finished part information, indicates that the finished part was not properly received to the loading structure; allowing inspection of additional finished parts when a required manual user input unlocks the loading structure for removal of the loading structure and finished parts received to the loading structure, and a new loading structure is locked into the loading position; inspecting and verifying additional finished parts; automatically counting, with the processor, the number of finished parts properly received to the loading structure; and automatically unlocking the loading structure for shipment and locking a new loading structure in the loading position when the count of finished parts properly received to the loading structure equals a standard loading structure shipping quantity. 16. The method of inspection and verification of claim 15, wherein inspecting the finished part with an inspection fixture comprises scanning a part label on the finished part and sending a second finished part identifier signal to the processor, based on information scanned from the part label. 17. The method of inspection and verification of claim 16, further comprising comparing, with the processor, the two finished part identifier signals and "failing" the finished part when the two finished part identifier signals are not the same. 18. The method of inspection and verification of claim 15, wherein inspecting the finished part with the inspection fixture comprises detecting the presence of required components on the finished part, and sending a component signal to the processor. 19. The method of inspection and verification of claim 18, wherein automatically comparing the first signal to the corresponding finished part information comprises comparing the component signal to an accessed standard component count. 20. The method of inspection and verification of claim 15, further comprising programming the processor to access a standard finished part weight for the finished part. 21. The method of inspection and verification of claim 20, wherein verifying whether the finished part was properly received to the loading structure comprises weighing the finished part with an electronic scale and sending a weight signal to the processor, which compares it to an accessed standard part weight. 22. An inspection and verification system, comprising: a loading structure for receiving a finished part; a processor capable of at least accessing finished part information and receiving and sending electronic signals; an inspection fixture having at least a sensor for inspecting the finished part prior to the loading structure receiving the part, and capable of sending electronic signals to the processor after the part is inspected, the inspection fixture being configured to detect the presence of required components on the finished part, and to send a component signal to the processor based on the number of components detected; a detection apparatus configured to detect the presence of an inspected, finished part received to the loading structure and capable of sending an electronic signal to the processor when the inspected, finished part is received; and a restraining apparatus controlled by an electronic signal sent from the processor for selectively locking the loading structure into a loading position, and unlocking the loading structure to allow removal of the loading structure from the loading position, the restraining apparatus including a pneumatic cylinder extendable to lock the loading structure in the loading position, and retractable to unlock the loading structure. 23.
