What inspection variables should be evaluated?
Cap openings, liners and inner walls require different viewing depths. Check shadowing from the rim and fixture.
What lighting geometry fits this inspection task?
Ring lighting surrounds the lens, but different illumination angles produce different images. Higher angles can illuminate surfaces facing the camera; low angles can reveal edges and relief. Hole depth, occlusion and surface reflectance matter.
Confirm that the clear opening does not restrict the field of view. Compare target and background at different light heights. Inspect peripheral pins, corners and recesses as well as the centre. Keep the sample pose controlled, then test throughout the permitted tilt range.

Before choosing a configuration?
For selection, specify the field of view, smallest target feature, height variation, cycle time and installation space. Use the specific product page and drawing to verify electrical ratings, dimensions and compatibility.
Seeing inside a bottle cap?
Separate the sealing surface, inner wall and central opening into distinct inspection regions. Adjust illumination to reach the target without allowing the rim to block the light. Use caps with realistic colour and surface variation.
Test defects near the edge as well as at the centre. Rotate and tilt the cap within its handling tolerance. Confirm that normal moulding details and reflections do not resemble damage or missing material.
