What inspection variables should be evaluated?
Build good-part and borderline-defect samples first, then record false rejects and misses. Clear criteria are necessary to judge lighting.
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.

Lighting for inspecting shapes, surfaces and small details.
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.
Building a repeatable inspection definition?
Write down the defect class, size limit and acceptable variation before choosing illumination. Collect representative good and defective parts. A clear decision rule makes lighting comparisons more useful than selecting the most visually striking image.
Test the complete range of pose, speed and surface variation. Keep raw reference images with camera and light settings. Revalidate the arrangement when the material, fixture, optics or operating conditions change.
