Good, Bad and Marginal Sample Range: Optics and lighting selection
What decisions about good, bad and marginal sample range materially change the system concept for transparent part inspection?
In brief
Collect labelled good, bad and marginal parts for each proposed transparent-part reference. Include ordinary acceptable variation and samples close to the agreed rejection boundary, not only obvious defects. Keep the expected decision and relevant region with each sample; use the visible-defect definition guide to settle ambiguous labels before the trial.
For in-line inspection of transparent components, describe the realistic range and how changes in good, bad and marginal sample range affect the result you need.
On the production floor
Turn your production information into clearer decisions — Transparent Part Inspection
Plan transparent part inspection around representative good, bad and marginal samples, line presentation, lighting, reject handling and challenge criteria. Discuss an optical feasibility trial with Oxford Vision Systems. Use this guide to resolve good, bad and marginal sample range before it limits the final system.
Good, Bad and Marginal Sample Range: condition, range and effect on your process
Current condition
Keep each sample identifiable through handling, imaging and review. Record its expected category, the condition being assessed and any change in the sample during the study. Where the quality team cannot yet agree the category, retain that uncertainty rather than using the item as an unquestioned pass or fail reference.
Realistic range
Represent the normal supplier, batch, age, environment and upstream-process variation relevant to the inspection. Keep the part reference and production context with the trial record so a result from a selected batch is not assumed to cover the whole production range.
Effect on the system
Record which part and defect references were tested with each background, lighting arrangement, view and presentation condition. If a sample or setting changes, retain the revision with its result; do not combine results from different conditions without identifying them.

Five questions about good, bad and marginal sample range for your application
Who can confirm this information?Identify the person responsible for good, bad and marginal sample range in production, quality, engineering or operations.
How representative is the sample?Include age, supplier, batch, environment and upstream process state where they affect transparent part inspection.
What is the difficult condition?Include acceptable parts with the strongest normal appearance variation and defective parts nearest the rejection boundary. Challenge both groups under the intended viewing conditions so false rejects and missed defects can be reviewed separately.
How will you judge the result?Agree the method, repetitions, acceptable range, result record and the response if the observed result falls outside the agreed range.
What else must be coordinated?Your final transparent part inspection scope must also account for recipe, reject and line-control interfaces, false-accept, false-reject and challenge criteria, current regulations and the conditions at your site.
