  • Publication number: 20230035817
    Abstract: An inspection device includes a scanning device, a first recognition unit, and a second recognition unit. The scanning device includes a laser sensor that emits laser slit light for measuring a two-dimensional shape, and a movement mechanism that moves the laser sensor in a predetermined direction.
