Device (101; 102) for the automatic optical inspection of a web-shaped or arc-shaped product (001; 002) having at least one
coating and moving along a transport path, comprising at least one transport means (103) for transporting the product (001; 002), as well as a
line scan camera (104), a first illumination device (106) and a second illumination device (107), wherein the transport path along which the product (001; 002) is moved crosses a detection area of the
line scan camera (104), wherein the
line scan camera (104) is arranged in the transport direction (T) of the product (001; 002) between the first illumination device (106) and the second illumination device (107), wherein the detection area of the line scan camera (104) is illuminated by both the first illumination device (106) and the second illumination device (107).wherein a central
ray (Z106) of the
radiation emitted by the first lighting device (106) and a central
ray (Z107) of the
radiation emitted by the second lighting device (107) have a
common point of
impact (AP) extending transversely to the transport direction (T) of the product (001; 002) on a surface of the respective
coating of the product (001; 002), wherein the central
ray (Z106) of the first lighting device (106) forms an angle (β) in the range between 10° and 30° with a normal (N) standing on the point of
impact (AP), and the central ray (Z107) of the second lighting device (107) forms an angle (γ) in the range between 45° and 70° with the normal (N) standing on the point of
impact (AP),wherein an angle (θ) is formed between a reflection beam (Z104) emanating from the point of impact (AP) and directed towards
radiation-sensitive elements of the line camera (104) and the normal (N) located at the point of impact (AP), wherein this angle (θ) and the angle (β) formed between the central beam (Z106) of the first illumination device (106) and the normal (N) located at the point of impact (AP) are arranged symmetrically to the normal (N) located at the point of impact (AP), and wherein the line camera (104) is designed as a line camera (104) having contact image sensors.
