Abstract: A system for inspecting features of an airframe, the system including a feature inspection device configured to measure an aspect of a first feature and a tracking subsystem configured to determine a position of the feature inspection device when the feature inspection device measures the aspect of the first feature. The system is configured to determine a position of the first feature on the airframe via the feature inspection device and the tracking subsystem, the determination of the position of the first feature being independent from the measurement of the aspect of the first feature.

Abstract: A handheld device for making 3D topography measurements of surface discontinuities in high performance structures, such as aerostructures (e.g., aluminum fuselages). Lights illuminate the discontinuity from multiple angles, and a camera captures images of the discontinuity. A thickness sensor generates thickness data regarding a thickness of the base material and the top protective coating. A position sensor generates position data regarding a location of the discontinuity on the structure. A processor generates geometry data regarding a geometry of the discontinuity based on the images, performs an analysis of the geometry, thickness, and position data, and communicates a result of the analysis on a display. A conforming membrane and/or a gel and an opaque lubricant may be applied over and conform to the discontinuity in order to make more uniform a reflectivity difference and a color difference between the discontinuity and an adjacent portion of the structure.

Abstract: An in-line laser profilometry inspection system broadly comprises a first laser, a first sensor, a second laser, a second sensor, a camera, a calibration standard, and an interface. The lasers transmit first and second light signals to a stringer charge or other part. The sensors detect the light signals reflecting off first and second edge walls of the part. The camera obtains a top-down image of the part. The calibration standard provides structure for calibrating the inspection system via the lasers and sensors. The interface allows a user to oversee part inspection. Data generated from the reflected light signals corresponding to a part profile may be analyzed based on at least first and second derivatives of the part profile such that the part is inspected during a cutting procedure.
