<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a visual inspection method and a device therefor with an inspection speed increased by performing conveyance and inspection of an object to be inspected in one process. Ž<P>SOLUTION: According to the visual inspection method, the object to be inspected is moved along a circular track and laser light is applied to both end faces of the object on the move by projecting the laser light onto a fixed position on the circular track to detect reflected light from the respective end faces. Acquired displacement values of the respective end faces are compared with a previously set reference value to determine whether it is within a prescribed allowance while inspecting one of the length size of the object, the surface roughness of the end faces, and the shapes of the end faces, or a combination of them. A movement means 8 causes the object to move along the circular track. A displacement meter 10 applies laser light to both end faces of the object on the move to detect its reflected light. An operation control part 12 as an inspection means determines whether displacement of each of the end faces is within the allowance. Ž<P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT Ž
