ABSTRACT:
A method for managing an apparatus for examination of foreign matters in through holes is provided which can readily judge the presence or absence of a change in the examination conditions in the apparatus for examining foreign matters in through holes, and efficiently conduct a management of the apparatus. When light passing through a minute through hole formed in a workpiece are taken by a camera as image data, and the presence or absence of a foreign matter in the through hole is examined based on an area of passing light that corresponds to the through hole examined, a reference workpiece is selected, an operation to measure an area of light passing through the through holes of the reference workpiece is periodically performed and measured values are stored in a data base, a change state in the area of passing light obtained from the data base is compared with pre-set management standard values, and an adjustment timing and an adjustment object in the examination apparatus are selected to perform an examination adjustment.
