Inspection of text on side mirrors

  • Inspection of text on side mirrors

The text engraved on a vehicle side mirror is inspected using a camera and backlight. Coaxial lighting is suitable for capturing glossy surfaces, but the curvature of the mirror in addition to insufficient field of view causes uneven brightness within the viewing area. If a large-size, diffusion type OPF backlight is used, positioning the lighting and camera so that diffused light reflects off the mirror allows a wide area to be captured uniformly, enabling the inspection of the entire text.

Imaging example

Back lightingOPF‐210 x 200W‐DF

OK: The entire text can be captured without uneven brightness.

  • Back lightingOPF‐210 x 200W‐DF

Coaxial lightingOPX - M100W

Not acceptable: The narrow field of view and curvature of the mirror cause uneven brightness.
