- Title
Aircraft wheels inspected quickly with eddy currents.
- Abstract
The article reports that a wheel inspection system designed for faster, more reliable eddy current inspection of aircraft wheel hubs has reportedly been developed at GE Inspection Technologies, Hurth, Germany. The most common errors in typical systems occur during the entering of old data. The WheelScan system eliminates that step by allowing a user to recall all previous test information by scanning the bar code or entering a specific number. Inspection cycle times have been reduced by increasing the probe stepper motor speed, allowing the probe to be located in position at 5.9 inches/seconds.
