Abstract
An O-ring appearance inspection apparatus of the present invention includes a holding device having a head unit and a tack surface body having physical tackiness, which is provided on the head unit; and a camera configured to image-capture the O-ring K. The O-ring K is held by bringing the mounting surface on which the O-ring K is placed closer to the head unit, thereby pressing the O-ring K against the tack surface body and bringing the O-ring K into tight contact with the tack surface body. The O-ring K, being held, is moved to the image-capturing position P, and the O-ring K is image-captured by rotating the head unit about the rotation axis C1 at the image-capturing position P.
Claims6
An O-ring appearance inspection apparatus that performs an appearance inspection of an O-ring, comprising:
- a holding device having a head unit rotatable about a rotation axis and a tack surface body having physical tackiness, which is provided on the head unit, the holding device configured to hold the O-ring and rotate it in a circumferential direction;
- and
- a camera configured to image-capture the O-ring,
- wherein:
- the O-ring is held by bringing the head unit and a mounting part on which the O-ring is placed closer to each other, thereby pressing the O-ring against the tack surface body and bringing the O-ring into tight contact with the tack surface body;
- the O-ring, being held, is moved to an image-capturing position facing the camera;
- and the O-ring is image-captured by the camera while being rotated in its circumferential direction by rotating the head unit about its rotation axis at the image-capturing position.
An O-ring appearance inspection method using an O-ring appearance inspection apparatus comprising a holding device configured to hold an O-ring and a camera configured to image-capture the O-ring, wherein:
- the holding device comprises a head unit rotatable about its rotation axis and a tack surface body having physical tackiness, which is provided on the head unit;
- and
- the O-ring is held by bringing the head unit and a mounting part on which the O-ring is placed closer to each other, thereby pressing the O-ring against the tack surface body and bringing the O-ring into tight contact with the tack surface body, the O-ring, being held, is moved to an image-capturing position facing the camera, and the O-ring is image-captured by the camera while being rotated in its circumferential direction by rotating the head unit about its rotation axis at the image-capturing position.
