METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETECTING SURFACE FEATURES ON TURBINE COMPONENTS

摘要

A system for locating at least one surface feature, such as a cooling aperture, on a turbine component is provided. The system includes at least one feature marker configured for placement adjacent to the at least one surface feature. The system also includes at least one sensor configured for non-visual detection of the at least one feature marker. The system also includes a control device coupled to the at least one sensor for receiving signals from the at least one sensor, wherein the signals represent data indicative of one of a presence of the at least one feature marker and an absence of the at least one feature marker.
