PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an appearance inspection device that can perform an inspection at an optimal white balance at any time.SOLUTION: An appearance inspection device A including: a camera 1; an inspection reference plane 2; and a light source 3 comprises: a calibration reference plate 4; an advance/retreat mechanism 5 that causes the calibration reference plate 4 to advance and retreat between a calibration position in a shooting area of the camera 1 and a retreat position retreated from the calibration position; and a control unit 6 that gives the camera 1 a white balance adjustment command when the calibration reference plate 4 is at the calibration position. At a non-inspection time when an appearance inspection is not performed, the control unit 6 gives the advance/retreat mechanism 5 a drive command causing the calibration reference plate 4 to move to the calibration position, an adjustment command adjusting an amount of light of the light source 3, and the white balance adjustment command. Thus, the white balance adjustment can be automatically performed without a manual operation.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
