    摘要: Method and system for marking a surface. A writing medium is positioned within a cavity defined in a body extending between a first end and a second end of a wand. The first end is coupleable to a robot. The second end is opposite the first end and has an opening defined therein in fluid communication with the cavity. The second end is positioned adjacent to the surface. A position of at least one of the writing medium and the second end is automatically maintained relative to the surface.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for inspecting a structure are provided which include probes with sensing elements and are disposed proximate the opposite surfaces of a structure, where only one of the probes need be driven. A tracking probe may be magnetically coupled to a driven probe and move in coordination therewith. Ring magnets may be used in the driven and tracking probes to provide the magnetic coupling and align sensing elements disposed in the centers of the ring magnets. The probes include ball bearings such as ball and socket bearings for supporting the structure and maintaining the desired orientation and spacing of the probes relative to the structure. A fluid, such as water or pressurized air, may be used as a couplant between an ultrasonic transducer and the structure. A water column skirt may be used to with a probe employing ball bearings for support.

    摘要: A process for point superabrasive machining of a nickel based material comprising the steps of providing a tool having a grinding surface coated with a superabrasive material, orienting the tool relative to a surface of the nickel based material to be machined so that there is point contact between the surface to be machined and the grinding surface, and forming a part by removing material at the point contract by rotating the tool. The tool comprises an enlarged portion, a tip portion, and a first shaft portion extending from the enlarged portion to the tip portion, the first shaft portion and the tip portion being coated with an abrasive material, and the first shaft portion having a constant diameter.
