Abstract
An exemplary component measuring method includes determining a position of an aperture of a component using a computed tomography scan of a gage and a component. The gage is inserted into the aperture of the component during the computed tomography scan.
Claims22
A component measuring method, comprising:
- determining a position of an aperture of a component using a computed tomography scan of a gage and the component, wherein the gage is inserted into the aperture of the component during the computed tomography scan.
A component measuring method, comprising:
- inserting a plurality of gages into respective apertures of a component;
- and
- computed tomography scanning the gages and the component to determine the positions of the apertures.
A component measuring system, comprising:
- a controller module that determines a position of an aperture within a component using a computed tomography scan of the component and a gage inserted into the aperture.
