Abstract

The invention is adapted to be embodied in a component measuring system for measuring a component in an optical detecting station. A pick up device is supported for movement in a first direction and is rotatable about an axis. An optical detection station having an optical range limited in height is defined by a plurality of parallel light rays. The pick up device moves a component held thereby into the optical range. The device measures at least one dimension of said first area of said component and determines whether this area was correctly measured.
