<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a non-destructive inspection apparatus, system and associated method for facilitating the inspection of a workpiece. <P>SOLUTION: The non-destructive inspection apparatus includes an ultrasonic sensor placed in operable contact with the workpiece. The ultrasonic sensor emits ultrasonic signals into the workpiece and receives return signals from the workpiece. The non-destructive inspection apparatus also includes a grip operably connected to the ultrasonic sensor such that the grip and the ultrasonic sensor are movable in concert. The grip supports an operator's palm, such as a majority of the operator's palm, such that force applied to the ultrasonic inspection apparatus by the operator is transferred via the grip to the ultrasonic sensor. The non-destructive inspection system also includes a computer in communication with the non-destructive inspection apparatus to receive information relating to the return signals received by the ultrasonic sensor. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
