Abstract
Systems and methods to locate the position of cooling holes on an outer surface of a turbine engine component, based on a three-dimensional measurement along an X-axis, a Y-axis, and a Z-axis, and an extracted two-dimensional measurement along the X-axis and the Y-axis. The two-dimensional data is analyzed to find a common geometric feature of the component and determine a scan area based on the common geometric feature. The component is measured within the scan area to locate a cooling hole located on the outer surface of the component. A surface profile of the cooling hole is extracted along the X-axis and the Y-axis, and an orientation of the cooling hole is extracted along the Z-axis. A three-dimensional coordinate set of the cooling hole is calculated based on the surface profile and the orientation.
