Abstract: An inspection apparatus for examining vessels fixedly arranged on a machine tool. The apparatus includes a camera having a first optical component. The camera is coupled to an image processing unit and is arranged in a positionally fixed manner with respect to a vessel to be inspected. The apparatus has a second, moveably mounted optical element, with the first, positionally fixed optical element and the second, moveably mounted optical element being operatively connected to the camera for image-recording at least one view in the direction of a vessel opening and at least one view in the direction of a side of the vessel to be inspected that faces away from the vessel opening. A manufacturing system for vessels, which includes an inspection apparatus, and a corresponding examination method, which can be carried out using the inspection apparatus, for testing the vessel quality after machining is also disclosed.

Abstract: An image recording and color measuring device for recording image data and color data of a surface of an object. The image recording and color measuring device including: at least one camera module with a line sensor; a first lens system associated with the line sensor to focus light rays; at least one color sensor; and a second lens system associated with the color sensor. The image recording and color measuring device recording image data of one point on the surface of the object with the camera module at the same time as color measuring data is recordable for the one point with the aid of the at least one color sensor. A plurality of image data and color data from individual points provide a total volume of image and color data of the object.
