What inspection variables should be evaluated?
Group automotive parts by finish, assembly position and inspection target. Include oil, colour and incoming-part variation.
What lighting geometry fits this inspection task?
Break the task into observable features such as outline, surface, lettering or colour before choosing illumination. Camera, lens, light, motion and processing work together; more brightness alone may not improve recognition.
Prepare good parts covering normal variation and confirmed defective samples. Compare lighting directions under controlled exposure. Record difficult defects and textures that cause false detections, then validate at the real cycle time. Base the selection on representative conditions rather than a single ideal image.

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.
Planning views for automotive parts?
Start with a list of actual features and surfaces: markings, welds, machined edges, seals and reflective housings may require different views. Select samples representing normal manufacturing variation as well as known faults.
Evaluate each inspection region separately before combining the station. Check fixture shadows, pose variation and cycle time. Keep reference images and lighting settings for each accepted configuration so that maintenance can reproduce the setup.
