The present invention relates to a method and the accompanying system for inspecting objects (5) provided with a gas-barrier layer, said objects comprising at least one base layer (5a) from a first material, polyethylene or polypropylene, for example, and at least one gas-barrier layer from a different material, EVA or EVOH, for example. An image-recording module (6), such as an infrared camera, records an image of each object (5) and processes said images by means of a processing module (7) in such a way that faulty objects (5) are detected and eliminated. More specifically, the image recording module (6) creates the image of each object (5) within the invisible light region, and the processing module (7) then examines the recorded image, wherein the presence, the absence or the thickness of the gas-barrier layer is determined on the basis of the image.
G01N 21/90 - Investigating the presence of flaws, defects or contamination in a container or its contents
G01N 21/35 - Investigating relative effect of material at wavelengths characteristic of specific elements or molecules, e.g. atomic absorption spectrometry using infrared light
G01N 21/84 - Systems specially adapted for particular applications
G01N 21/88 - Investigating the presence of flaws, defects or contamination

The invention relates to a method for workpiece inspection and/or checking, wherein a workpiece (40) is transported by means of a transporting device (30), and is illuminated by means of a light source (50), wherein by means of an optical device (20) an image (44) is generated of at least one side surface (42) of the workpiece (40), and wherein by means of an analyzing unit (60) an image of the workpiece (40) is recorded, processed, and analyzed. In this method the image (44) of the at least one side surface (42) of the workpiece (40) is generated by means of at least one mirror (21), and the image (44) generated of the at least one side surface (42) of the workpiece (40) is recorded, processed, and analyzed by means of the analyzing unit (60). The image (44) of the at least one side surface (42) of the workpiece (40) is then generated, for example, by means of a round mirror (21). One or more light sources (26) having the same or different properties may also be integrated in the optical device (20), and the light may be scattered by means of a diffuser (25).
