Abstract
According to one implementation, a feeding device of a hole inspection device having a probe includes an attaching jig, a movement mechanism, and a positioning jig. The probe is inserted into a hole to be inspected of an object in a central axis direction of the hole, for inspecting the hole. The attaching jig attaches the hole inspection device to the feeding device. The movement mechanism linearly reciprocates the hole inspection device together with the attaching jig. The positioning jig positions the movement mechanism to the object. A moving direction of the attaching jig and the hole inspection device is made parallel to the central axis direction of the hole by positioning the movement mechanism.
Claims20
A feeding device of a hole inspection device having a probe, the probe being inserted into a hole to be inspected of an object in a central axis direction of the hole, for inspecting the hole,
- the feeding device comprising:
- an attaching jig for attaching the hole inspection device to the feeding device;
- a movement mechanism having a linearly moving machine element which is at least one of an air cylinder, a crawler, gears and a ball screw, the linearly moving machine element linearly reciprocating the hole inspection device together with the attaching jig;
- and
- a positioning jig that positions the movement mechanism to the object, a moving direction of the attaching jig and the hole inspection device being made parallel to the central axis direction of the hole by positioning the movement mechanism.
A method of feeding a hole inspection device having a probe, for inspecting a hole to be inspected of an object by inserting the prove in a central axis direction of the hole,
- the method comprising:
- attaching the hole inspection device to an attaching jig;
- positioning a movement mechanism to the object by a positioning jig, the movement mechanism having a linearly moving machine element which is at least one of an air cylinder, a crawler, gears and a ball screw, the linearly moving machine element linearly reciprocating the hole inspection device together with the attaching jig, a moving direction of the attaching jig and the hole inspection device being made parallel to the central axis direction of the hole by positioning the movement mechanism;
- and
- feeding the hole inspection device by linearly advancing the attaching jig together with the hole inspection device toward the object by the movement mechanism.
