Abstract
A system for displaying an area covered in a non-destructive scan of an area larger than the test probe is disclosed. Position encoders are included on the test probe to track the motion of the probe and to provide a record of the portion of the area under test that has been covered by the probe.
Claims11
A non-destructive testing system for scanning the surface of an object under test comprising:
- a scanning head,
- said scanning head comprising at least two two-axis position encoders configured to provide position and orientation information,
- wherein said position and orientation information is averaged among the at least two two-axis position encoders;
- and
- a data acquisition device comprising a display configured to receive said averaged position and orientation information and to produce a cumulative display of portions of the object that have been scanned based on said averaged position and orientation information.
2 more elements
A non-destructive testing scanning transducer for scanning the surface of an object under test comprising:
- a scanning head,
- said scanning head comprising at least two two-axis position encoders configured to provide position and orientation information;
- wherein said position and orientation information is scanned for outlier data by a data acquisition device comprising a display configured to receive said position and orientation information and to produce a cumulative display of portions of the object that have been scanned based on said position and orientation data not including said outlier data.
