Abstract: The invention relates to a device for ultrasonic inspection which can be used preferably for the non-destructive inspection of bodies, e.g. component parts, by means of ultrasonic waves, and in universal manner for the inspection of various bodies/component parts. It is an object of the invention to be able performing non-destructive inspection of bodies by means of ultrasonic waves cost-effective, and to achieve simultaneously ways for a flexible application on most differently formed and dimensioned bodies. As a result, the device according to the invention is formed such that an ultrasonic wave transmitting and receiving element is housed inside a testing head mountable on the surface of a body. The ultrasonic wave transmitting and receiving element and/or an acoustic element reflecting, focussing and/or deflecting an emitted beam of ultrasonic waves is pivoted about at least one axis of rotation by means of at least one actuator, and/or is travelling laterally along at least one axis.
