Abstract
Apparatus for optically surveying and/or examining a welding componentry, in particular a vehicle axle or instrument panel, includes a measuring space for accommodating a plurality of cameras for taking images of the welding componentry. The images are combined and evaluated in an evaluation unit. Disposed in the measuring space is a support unit for support of the welding componentry. The support unit includes a base plate and at least two vertically adjustable support columns on the base plate. Provided on the free end of each support column is a clamping unit which includes two clamping elements constructed for movement relative to one another for clamping the welding componentry. In addition, the support columns have each a pin which is movable in relation to the clamping unit.
