Abstract: A member supporting method for supporting a member using support pins includes: an abutting step (S1) of abutting an end of each of a plurality of support pins facing a surface to be supported of the member against the member by moving the plurality of support pins in a supporting direction which is a direction in which the support pins support the member; and a fixing step (S2) of fixing the plurality of support pins in position with the end of each of the plurality of support pins abutted against the member and located along irregularities on the surface to be supported in the abutting step (S1), and thereby restricting movement of the plurality of support pins in both directions parallel to the supporting direction.

Abstract: A high-precision inspection apparatus and method for inspecting a large board with a line sensor camera, the coordinate positions of correction marks on a pair of holding members are read by the camera and compared with predetermined coordinates, and an amount of positional discrepancy of the board is computed. The board is adjusted according to the positional discrepancy, if necessary, and then scanned.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a high-precision inspection apparatus and inspection method capable of inspecting a large board by laterally moving the board and photographing the board several times before and after the lateral moving. Coordinate positions of correction marks applied to a pair of holding members or a pair of rails are read by a line sensor camera, an amount of positional discrepancy of the board is computed by comparing coordinate positions of correction marks previously set with the coordinate positions of the correction marks having been read, and when there are discrepancies between the two kinds of coordinate positions, photographing is carried out after correcting an amount of movement of the holding members based on the amount of positional discrepancy of the board.
