An inspection method for molded resin articles designed to emit X-ray beams through a plurality of paths, detect X-ray beams transmitted through a molded resin article at one or more positions, detect a defect candidate in a detected X-ray image, measure the height by a stereo matching method, perform logical multiplication of the resulting height information image and the image obtained as a defect candidate, and judge the state of the defect candidate based on the height position,
- wherein the selection method is designed to set a distance from the X-ray emitting position to the molded resin article, set an inspection range based on the distance and the thickness of the molded resin article, and decide that a defect candidate found in the inspection range is a defect, and
- wherein the distance setting method is designed to input a target distance fro the X-ray emitting position to the molded resin article, measure the distance from the X-ray emitting position to the molded resin article, and calculate the difference between the input distance value and the measured distance value to make a correction based thereon so that the distance becomes equal to the input value.
