Claim 9:
10. An inspection system for carrying out the inspection method for a pillar-shaped honeycomb structure according to claim 1, comprising:
a robot arm with a robot hand at a tip of the robot arm, the robot hand comprising a pair of gripping surfaces capable of gripping the pillar-shaped honeycomb structure from the first end surface and the second end surface, the pair of gripping surfaces being configured to be able to rotate the pillar-shaped honeycomb structure at a predetermined rotational speed while gripping the pillar-shaped honeycomb structure from the first end surface and the second end surface;
the area camera for the side surface;
a screen that can display the strip-shaped images;
a controller that can at least set a rotation speed of the pair of gripping surfaces and the shutter speed of the area camera for the side surface; and
