  • Patent number: 11774378
    Abstract: Provided is a foreign substance inspection method for inspecting presence or absence of a foreign substance embedded in a tubular resin molded product. A dome is prepared. The foreign substance inspection method includes: a first measurement step of measuring a dimension of a first projection image of the embedded foreign substance; a second measurement step of measuring a dimension of a second projection image of the embedded foreign substance: and a calculation step of calculating the dimension of the embedded foreign substance based on a proportional relationship between the dimension of each of the projection images to a distance from a corresponding one of the light sources to the each of the projection images and the dimension of the embedded foreign substance to a distance from the corresponding one of the light sources to the embedded foreign substance.

  • Patent number: 11698617
    Abstract: Positions of both end edges of a weld bead in a bead width direction are measured over the entire circumference of a liner in a circumferential direction of the liner. Based on information on the position of the end edge, bead profile information being information on a shape of the end edge of the weld bead over the entire circumference of the liner in the circumferential direction is created. Based on this bead profile information, machining information of the liner per rotation of the liner being position information of a cutting tool in the bead width direction per phase in the circumferential direction of the liner is created so that a moving locus of the cutting tool relative to the liner along the circumferential direction of the liner approximates the shape of the end edge of the weld bead over the entire circumference of the liner in the circumferential direction.
