Abstract

Abstract An object is picked-up by a television camera and a video signal thereof is produced. A stroboscope flash radiates the object with the light therefrom, detecting the object arriving at a predetermined detecting position and producing a position detecting signal. A synchronizing signal is separated from the video signal, and a signal for flashing the stroboscope is generated when both of the position detecting signal and the synchronizing signal exist, so that the video signal of the object is delivered from the television camera at the beginning of the scanning thereof.

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 132 words
A method for flashing a stroboscope for use with judging the good or bad of an object to be inspected comprising the steps of: (a) picking up an object by a television camera and producing a video signal thereof; (b) providing a stroboscope for irradiation of said object with light therefrom; (c) separating a vertical synchronizing signal from said video signal; (d) detecting said object arriving at a predetermined detecting position and producing a position detecting signal, having an ON signal period longer than the period between adjacent vertical synchronizing signals; (e) generating a signal for flashing said stroboscope when both of said position detecting signal and said vertical synchronizing signal exist, whereby the video signal of said object is delivered from said television camera at the beginning of the scanning thereof.
