Application: Inspection device and inspection method (Patent ID: US20240175805A1)
The patent filed by Subaru Corp describes an inspection device and method that involve controlling the positional relationship between a detector and a measurement object to ensure proper detection of surface conditions. The device includes a transmitter and receiver in the detector to transmit and receive waves to and from the measurement object, along with suckers to regulate the positions of the detector and object. The suckers can be independently controlled and have suction pads that come into contact with the object, forming a plane with the detector's contact surface. Additionally, the device includes a driver, position detector, and controller to move the detector and suckers to the detected position of the object.
The inspection method outlined in the patent involves using the inspection device to suck the measurement object with the suckers and then detecting the surface condition with the detector. Before sucking the object, the method includes detecting the object's position and controlling the driver to move the detector and suckers accordingly. The detector also includes a force sensor to measure contact force with the object, ensuring it remains within a predetermined range. Overall, the patent focuses on a comprehensive system for inspecting surface conditions of measurement objects by precisely controlling the positioning of the detector and object using suckers and other components.
