Patent ID: 7971492

Claim:
A method for inspecting characteristics of flexible units, comprising the steps of: (a) providing a clip unit, an observing unit, a characteristic-inspecting unit and a controlling unit while electrically connecting the clip unit, the observing unit, and the characteristic-inspecting unit with the controlling unit and further storing a predetermined radius in the controlling unit; (b) using the clip unit to clip a flexible unit so as to bend the same; (c) directing the observing unit to capture the lateral profile of the flexible unit and then sending the captured profile to the controlling unit for calculating and thus obtaining a bending radius of the bended flexible unit accordingly; and (d) using the controlling unit to make an evaluation to determine whether the bending radius is the same as the predetermined radius; if so, the clip unit is stopped and the characteristic-inspecting unit is activated for inspecting the characteristic of the flexible unit; otherwise, the procedure returns to step (b).
