Abstract

An arrangement for inspecting straightness of an array of pins in which the array is illuminated by a thin beam of light. Images of surfaces of the array of pins that are illuminated are projected on a photo-sensitive device. The array of pins is movable relative to the beam of light and the imaging device. The imaging device and photo-sensitive device are also movable relative to the array of pins.
