Test system for an optical inspection device, method for operating

A test system for an optical inspection device of an automated assembly machine, comprising:

• a carrier configured to hold at least one assembly element to be assembled;
• and
• a transport device configured to transport the carrier into a test position and into a rest position away from the test position;
• wherein the at least one optical inspection device can be assigned or is assigned to the test position, and
• wherein the carrier includes a first holder for a first assembly element of the at least one assembly element and a second holder for a second assembly element of the at least one assembly element, wherein the first and second holders are fixedly disposed relative to one another on the carrier.

A method for operating a test system of an optical inspection device of an automated assembly machine, the test system including:

• a carrier configured to hold at least one assembly element to be assembled, and
• a transport device configured to transport the carrier into a test position and into a rest position away from the test position,
• wherein the at least one optical inspection device can be assigned or is assigned to the test position, and
• wherein the carrier includes a first holder for a first assembly element of the at least one assembly element and a second holder for a second assembly element of the at least one assembly element, wherein the first and second holders are fixedly disposed relative to one another on the carrier;
• wherein the method comprises the following steps:
• repeatedly moving the carrier with the first and second assembly elements fastened to the carrier, from the rest position to the test position by the transport device;
• each time after reaching the test position, examining the first and second assembly elements by the inspection device;
• and
• comparing examination results to one another acquire working parameters of at least one camera of the inspection device.
