PATENT APPLICATION OF ARCADE J. PLANTE RICHARD F. WETZEL FOR AUTOMATIC NONDESTRUCTIVE ROLL DEFECT INSPECTION SYSTEM ABSTRACT A computer-based eddy current nondestructive or ultrasonic testing system automatically inspects rolling mill roll surface defects during roll grinding operations comprising articulated probe means, eddy current, or ultra- sonic, test instrument means, computer means, display and printer means. The articulated probe mechanism is mounted on a traversing roll grinder carriage, is automatically positioned over the test roll in response to control means initiated by the grinder operator, and has a probe head with a controlled fluid bearing, air or liquid, to automatically maintain probe-head-to-test roll gap. One or multiple eddy current, or ultrasonic, probes in the test head generate anamoly test signals, which, together with a probe head temperature sensor signal, are processed in a modified test instrument and the computer. Computer plots defects signals as color bars vs. probe position and displays these bars graphically and other messages on a color CRT display and/or a graph printer. This system arrangement provides for effective roll surface defect inspection by grinder personnel, and others, who ordinarily are unskilled in NDT test and analysis methods. -1-
