Controlling cutting of continuously fabricated composite parts with nondestructive evaluation

摘要

An apparatus may comprise a nondestructive evaluation system (306) and a cutting system (308). The nondestructive evaluation system (306) may be configured to inspect a processed portion (318) of a structure (312). The nondestructive evaluation system (306) may be configured to determine whether an inconsistency (322) is present in the processed portion (318). The nondestructive evaluation system (306) may also be configured to generate information about a location (330) of the inconsistency (322). The cutting system (308) may be configured to cut a number of parts (302) out of the processed portion (318) of the structure (312) in which the inconsistency (322) may be at least substantially excluded from the number of parts (302).
