Abstract:
[Object] To perform shape inspection of a metallic body in a simple way at higher speed with higher density.[Solution] An apparatus of the present invention includes: a measurement apparatus configured to irradiate a metallic body with at least two illumination light beams, and measure reflected light separately; and an arithmetic processing apparatus configured to calculate information used for shape inspection of the metallic body on the basis of measurement results. The measurement apparatus includes a plurality of illumination light sources configured to emit strip-shaped illumination light having different peak wavelengths, and a plurality of monochrome line sensor cameras that have band-pass filters and are aligned vertically above a surface of the metallic body and set to capture images of the same portion of the metallic body by their respective shift lenses, the number of the monochrome line sensor cameras being the same as the number of the peak wavelengths of the emitted illumination light. At least two of the plurality of illumination light sources are provided in a manner that an angle formed by a normal direction to the surface of the metallic body and an optical axis of the first illumination light source is substantially equal to an angle formed by the normal direction and an optical axis of the second illumination light source and the two illumination light sources face each other with the line sensor cameras therebetween in a relative movement direction of the metallic body and the measurement apparatus.
