Abstract
A device for optical inspection of a component located on a fixture. The fixture picks up the component at a delivery point, conveys it along a conveying path to a deposit point, and deposits it there. A light source delivers light at a first acute angle to the optical axis of an imaging sensor onto a first end face of the component when the component located at the holder is oriented with its end face at least normal to the optical axis of the imaging sensor. The latter inspects at least one side surface of the component and/or an area inside the component near a second of the end surfaces and near respective ones of the side surfaces. The imaging sensor detects light emerging from the first end face to signal a distribution of the intensity of the emerging light to an evaluation device.
