A flexible and steerable structure for non-destructive inspection, the structure including a longitudinal body and at least one actuator enabling the curvature of at least a portion of the longitudinal body to be modified, the actuator being carried by a support associated with the longitudinal body and including a distal portion that is spaced apart or that is spaceable apart from the longitudinal body and that is connected to a portion of the longitudinal body by a traction line.

Endoscope-like adjustable structure

A method of developing a tool for non-destructive inspection of parts of a turbomachine engine is disclosed. The method includes: a) making parts and/or sets of parts of an engine portion by prototyping from a digital model of the engine portion, and then assembling the parts and/or sets of parts in order to make a three-dimensional lifesize mock-up; and b) verifying that it is possible to pass the inspection tool through access orifices and/or passages of the mock-up until a distal end of the tool is situated in the vicinity of a part for inspection, and validating the tool or modifying its configuration or the configuration of the access orifices as a function of the results of the verification.

Method of developing and calibrating a tool for non-destructive inspection of parts of a turbomachine

A device for non-destructive in situ inspection of parts of a turbine engine, the device including a stick carrying at its distal end a pivoting finger carrying at one of its ends a blade for supporting an inspection probe, and at its opposite end a skid for bearing against and/or catching on an element of the engine, the skid being movable in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the finger.

Device for checking a turbomachine engine

A device for the non-destructive testing of parts of a turbomachine motor, including a longitudinal rod carrying at its distal end a longitudinal finger carrying a retractile or deployable flexible blade supporting an inspection probe, this blade being guided in axial translation on the finger between a retracted position in which it extends along the finger and an advanced or deployed position in which it extends in front of the finger.
