  • System and method of three-dimensional inspection of circular parts
    Patent number: 6542235
    Abstract: An inspection system for inspecting circular parts of the present invention includes a light source, a camera, and a computer, which is in communication with the camera and has stored therein known good part profile data. The light source is for directing light onto the part to be inspected, with the camera generating profile signals in response to the light on the part. The computer receives the profile signals from the camera and assembles the profile signals into a height image of the part and, further, compares the height image with the known good part profile data to determine whether the part is acceptable or unacceptable.
