Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A planar robot for cutting products, such as pieces of meat. The product is displaced along a conveyor or positioned onto a working table and is cut by a tool, preferably a water jet. The tool is held by a pair of arms. The arms have first extremities pivotally mounted on mobile bases. The arms also have second extremities pivotally connected to each other. An actuator displaces each of the mobile bases in order to control the position of the cutting tool in a plane above the conveyor or table.
