WHOLE-PRODUCT ULTRASONIC INSPECTION SYSTEM WITH A TEST-HEAD MOUNT, IN PARTICULAR A MOUNT DESIGNED AS A ROTATING BODY, MOUNTED ON A HEIGHT-ADJUSTABLE TEST BENCH, THE SYSTEM ALSO INCLUDING A TEST-PIECE MANIPULATOR

摘要

In a global ultrasonic inspection installation, the probe holder is placed on a receiving table adjustable in height (22), while a specimen manipulator (46) is provided, itself also placed on the adjustable table. in height (22). The axes (66, 26) of the manipulator (46) and of a specimen (28) in the probe holder (control line) are parallel. A longitudinal guide piece (36) is provided between the receiving table (22) and either the manipulator (46) or the probe holder; said guide piece extends perpendicularly to the axis (66) of the manipulator (46) and to the axis (26) of the specimen (28) in the probe holder and is dimensioned such that the manipulator ( 46) can be moved relative to the probe holder, between a control position, in which the axes (66, 26) of the manipulator (46) and of a specimen (28) in the probe holder coincide, and a position service in which the manipulator (46) does not prevent a passage of the test pieces (28) on the probe holder.
