Abstract
A wheel blank inspection device is for inspecting a wheel blank and includes a depth sensor and a computing control module electrically connected to the depth sensor. The computing control module executes a path acquisition process, a depth measurement process and a load point localization process. The path acquisition process is controlling the depth sensor to scan the wheel blank, obtaining a center fitted to a flange of the wheel blank, and calculating at least one detection path based on the center. The depth measurement process is controlling the depth sensor to scan the flange of the wheel blank according to the at least one detection path to capture depth values of the flange. The load point localization process is obtaining load points and information of relative positions of the load points with respect to a reference point of the wheel blank based on the depth values.
