This paper addresses the development of an appearance inspection system of a metallic spindle with a robotic pan/tilt device. The inspection of the metallic spindle is carried out by using a CCD camera mounted on the robotic pan/tilt device which can not only enlarge the inspection area, but it can also retain a considerable resolution to detect micro defects on the surface of the metallic spindle. To confirm the effectiveness of the proposed system, inspection experiments are carried out. The experimental results show that the proposed inspection scheme can detect the defects effectively using the proposed system.
