Filed:
Nov 8, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/671666
Inventors:

Westinghouse Electric Company LLC - Cranberry Township PA
International Classification:
G01M 13/00
US Classification:
73660, 7311201, 73593
Abstract:
An inspection vehicle structured to inspect a portion of the turbine disk, preferably the blade attachment hubs, while the turbine disk is disposed within a turbine housing assembly is provided. A turbine disk is generally planar but includes a inner hub and an outer blade attachment hub. The inner hub is coupled to a shaft and the blade attachment hub provides a surface to which removable blades are attached. The area between the inner hub and outer blade attachment hub is substantially planar. The inner and blade attachment hubs are the “inspection areas” that the inspection vehicle is structured to inspect. The inspection vehicle travels over, and is magnetically coupled to the planar surface between the two hubs.
