Provided is a machine for inspecting ferrules of an optical connector and
a method thereof. A fixture arranges the ferrules on a rectangular system
to inspect the ferrules. A robot centers first ferrule on a optical
system and focuses the first ferrule on the optical system. The optical
system includes two cameras for photographing inside diameter image data
and outside diameter image data of the ferrule. While the robot moves
sequentially the optical system and remaining ferrules, all the inside
and outside diameter image data of the ferrules are in sequence obtained
by the optical system. Each inside and outside diameter and eccentricity
of the ferrules are calculated by the obtained inside and outside
diameter image data via a computer program.
