After processing, welding and chrome plating, these elements not only require high dimensional accuracy, but also require smooth and defect-free surface. However, due to the influence of electroplating and transportation, surface scratches, scuffs and pinholes may occur on the connecting rod. Therefore, before the connecting rod is put into use, visual inspection equipment is needed to detect the shape accuracy and surface roughness of the connecting rod.

Therefore, there is a high probability of producing defective products. In addition, due to clamping, equipment vibration and other reasons during the detection process of the connecting rod, the visual inspection equipment cannot accurately identify the degree of contour change of the connecting rod, which reduces the working efficiency of the detection equipment.
