ABSTRACT ULTRASONIC SCANNING SYSTEM Large curved components 22 of fibre/resin matrix composite material are tested ultrasonically with water jet probes 13,14 caliper-mounted on the working arm 25 of an industrial robot 10. A computer 15 reads CAD data 24 appertaining to the component 22, transforms it to robot-compatible form and delivers it 26 on demand to the robot computer 18. It also reads the data output from the probe and reconciles it with the CAD data to yield as an output 17 a quality map of the component. Instantaneous probe position on the surface of the testpiece 22 is computed from data on the starting position of the scanning movement of the probe, and the scanning velocity of the probe.
