  • Publication number: 20190178809
    Abstract: A detecting method for a workpiece surface includes the following steps. Firstly, a workpiece is provided with a first environment, wherein the first environment has a first environmental temperature higher than a first saturation temperature corresponding to an environmental-relative humidity. Then, the workpiece is provided with a second environment, wherein the second environment has a second environmental temperature lower than the first environmental temperature, such that a itself-temperature of the workpiece reduces to a mist temperature, wherein the mist temperature is substantially equal to or higher than the second environmental temperature. Then, the workpiece is provided with a mist environment, wherein the mist environment has a mist-saturation temperature corresponding to a mist-environmental relative humidity is equal to or higher than the mist temperature for misting a surface of the workpiece. Then, the surface of the misted workpiece is detected.
