Abstract
An ultrasonic inspection device is an device for ultrasonically inspecting a rotor disc. The ultrasonic inspection device includes: an inspecting portion that has an ultrasonic probe for transmitting an ultrasonic wave to a disc surface of the rotor disc; a first magnet that movably holds the ultrasonic probe relative to the disc surface of the rotor disc; a drive wheel that causes the ultrasonic probe to move in a direction that intersects a radial direction of the rotor disc; a steering wheel that adjusts a moving direction of the drive wheel; a stroke sensor that detects the radial position of the ultrasonic probe being held relative to the disc surface; and a control device that controls the steering wheel on the basis of information detected by the stroke sensor such that the radial position of the ultrasonic probe falls within a predetermined range.
