Plate-body inspecting apparatus

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To inspect many plate bodies automatically and efficiently, by sequentially moving the plate bodies on a plurality of supporting bodies through holding bodies, supporting the plate bodies, measuring the size of each part, and performing classification. CONSTITUTION:Supporting bodies 17 are provided so that they can be moved in three stages of upper, medium and lower stages. Holding bodies 31, which are driven in association with the supporting bodies, are provided so that they can be moved to positions, where plate bodies can be held, and retreated positions, where the holding bodies can be moved to the right and left. The plate body to be inspected is supplied to the first supporting body 171 with a pusher 15. Then the plate body is transferred to the second supporting body 172 by the specified operation of the holding body 31. The holding body is retreated. The supporting body is lifted up, and the groove shape is measured with a measuring device 22. This operation is sequentially repeated, and the plate body is sent. The outer diameter, the inner diameter and the thickness are measured with measuring devices 23-25. When a failed measured value is found, the plate body is classified by a classifying device 30. Thus the inspection can be performed automatically and efficiently.
