Abstract
In a method of and apparatus for inspecting a workpiece, a measuring unit measures basic data for producing an inspection program from each of the workpieces to be inspected, based on measuring conditions and a measuring method both set on a display by a conditions setting unit. Next, a determining method producing unit analyzes the basic data and produces a determining method for determining whether or not each workpiece is faulty. An inspection program producing unit then generates an inspection program based on the set measuring conditions and measuring method and the produced determining method. The inspecting apparatus subsequently automatically inspects each of the workpieces to be inspected as conveyed in a lot based on the inspection program.
