An inspection device inspects a joint-type outer joint member of a constant velocity universal joint that includes a cup section having a bottomed cylindrical shape and track grooves in an inner periphery thereof for torque transmitting elements, and a shaft section extending from a bottom of the cup section. The inspection device inspects the outer joint member, which is obtained through melt-welding on a cup member forming the cup section and a shaft member forming the shaft section. The inspection device includes a surface inspection unit to inspect for a defect which appears on a surface of the outer joint member due to welding, an internal inspection unit to inspect for an internal defect of a welded portion, and a recording unit to record an inspection result of the inspection. The inspection device is configured to efficiently perform in-line total inspection for the melt-welded joint-type outer joint member.
An inspection device for a joint-type outer joint member of a constant velocity universal joint that includes a cup section having a bottomed cylindrical shape and having track grooves in an inner periphery thereof to allow torque transmitting elements to roll therein, and a shaft section extending from a bottom of the cup section, the joint-type outer joint member being obtained through welding of a cup member forming the cup section and a shaft member forming the shaft section, the inspection device comprising:
