Method and device for inspecting images on print products using an image inspection robot

A method for inspecting images on print products in a printing material processing machine, the method comprising the following steps:

• using at least one image sensor to record and digitize produced print products in an image inspection process of a print job carried out by an image inspection system, the image sensor recording the produced print products from at least one of different viewing angles or different viewing distances;
• using a computer to compare at least two created and recorded digital prints to a digital reference image, the computer evaluating the at least two recorded digital prints as a function of the at least one of different viewing angles or different viewing distances and the computer assessing the at least two recorded digital prints in terms of deviations;
• using the computer to control a robot arm having the image sensor by moving the robot arm back and forth during an image recording process to simulate a shaking motion of the printed product during the inspection process;
• and
• removing defective print products upon finding deviations between the recorded digital prints and the digital reference image.
