Title
(EN) FULL TRAIN WHEEL CONTROL
(FR) COMMANDE INTÉGRALE DE ROUE DE TRAIN
Abstract
(EN) An inspection system for inspecting an article, such as a railway wheel, is provided. The inspection system includes a robotic arm and a bath having a couplant. The inspection system has three sensors in the bath and in fluid communication with the couplant. The first sensor couples with the bath and is positioned within the bath to inspect a first area of an article. The second sensor couples with the bath different from the first sensor and is positioned to inspect a second area of the article. The third sensor is coupled with the bath and is positioned within the bath to inspect a third area of the article. One of the sensors couples with the bath such that during an inspection of the article within the bath the sensor may be adjusted to inspect a fourth area of the article.
(FR) L'invention concerne un système d'inspection permettant d'inspecter un article, tel qu'une roue de chemin de fer. Le système d'inspection comprend un bras robotique et un bain contenant un milieu de couplage. Le système d'inspection est doté de trois capteurs dans le bain en communication fluidique avec le milieu de couplage. Le premier capteur est couplé au bain et est positionné à l'intérieur du bain afin d'inspecter une première zone d'un article. Le deuxième capteur est couplé au bain de différemment du premier capteur et est positionné afin d'inspecter une deuxième zone de l'article. Le troisième capteur est couplé au bain et est positionné à l'intérieur du bain afin d'inspecter une troisième zone de l'article. L'un des capteurs se couple au bain de telle sorte que, pendant une inspection de l'article à l'intérieur du bain, le capteur peut être réglé afin d'inspecter une quatrième zone de l'article.
