Improvement in inspection methods for aero-engine components using computer-linked electro-optical techniques
thesis
posted on 2018-06-08, 16:16 authored by Bernard S. HockleyAn improved technique for inspecting aero-engine turbine blades
was developed. The technique increased the area of the blade that
was examined and presented the difference information in an easily
assimilated form without increasing the overall inspection time
above that of present methods. To achieve this an optical contouring
technique was used to measure the blade shape and this was linked to
a computer to enable the dimensional information to be processed
quickly. [Continues.]
