Abstract:
An inspection system inspects points of interest on an item. A two-axis gimbal holds the item and is controlled to adjust an angle of incidence and angle of approach of a line of sight of an imaging device with respect to the point of interest. A Y-axis actuator adjusts a position of the imaging device along a Y-axis of the item, and an X-axis actuator adjusts a position of the imaging device along an X-axis of the item. A controller controls the gimbal, the Y-axis actuator and the X-axis actuator. Upon selecting a point of interest, angle of incidence, and angle of approach, the imaging device displays and/or captures an image, and the image can be inspected by a human inspector or automated inspection system.

Claim (Index 19):
The method of  claim 9  wherein the system further comprises a Z-axis slide holding the imaging device, the Z-axis slide being controlled by a motor to adjust a height of the imaging device above the X-Y plane of the item, wherein the controller controls the motors of the gimbal, the Z-axis slide, the Y-axis actuator and the X-axis actuator to control the line of sight of the imaging device with respect to the point of interest, the method further comprising defining the distance of the imaging device to the point of interest and comprising calculating how to position the imaging device to set the line of sight to the defined point of interest according to the defined angle of incidence and angle of approach while maintaining the defined distance of the camera to the point of interest.
