  • Patent number: 11898835
    Abstract: A method for configuring a device for non-destructive testing of a mechanical part, the device including an optical motion-tracking system, a non-destructive testing probe fixedly linked to a first rigid body, and a pointing device, includes steps of: learning of an origin and of axes of an examination area of the surface of the mechanical part using the pointing device, in a coordinate system linked to the optical motion-tracking system, so as to define a coordinate system linked to the examination area, learning of an origin and of axes of an emitter and receiver surface, called active surface, of the probe using the pointing device, in a coordinate system linked to the first rigid body of the probe, and determination of the position and of the orientation of the active surface of the probe, in the coordinate system linked to the examination area.

  • Patent number: 9157997
    Abstract: An ultrasound probing device including: a box; a locating mechanism to provide a position of the box in relation to a reference frame associated with an object to be examined; a mechanism to determine a delay law based on focusing parameters, representing a desired position of a focal point in relation to a reference frame associated with the box; a controller to provide control signals based on the delay law; transducers attached to the box, to receive control signals and, in response, to transmit ultrasonic waves in the object respectively delayed according to the delay law to focus at the focal point defined by the focusing parameters; and a mechanism updating the focusing parameters based on predefined associations between positions on a desired path of the box in relation to the reference frame associated with the object and corresponding focusing parameter values and the position of the box.
