Method And Apparatus For Fastener Hole Inspection With A Capacitive Probe

View page
US Patent:
56465386, Jul 8, 1997
Filed:
Jun 13, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/487254
Inventors:
Edward N. Lide - Atlanta GA
Samuel R. Glidewell - Marietta GA
Assignee:
Measurement Systems, Inc. - Marietta GA
International Classification:
G01R 2726
US Classification:
324662
Abstract:
A computer-based method and apparatus for fastener hole inspection including a capacitive probe with a plurality of sensor elements, means for grounding the faster hole, and an electronics unit electrically connected to the probe for sequencially charging one of the plurality of sensor elements while applying a guard potential to the remaining sensor elements and adjacent electrical components to eliminate residual capactitances. A profile of the fastener hole is generated by evaluating, through a series resistor, the discharge waveforms of the plurality of sensor elements by converting the capacitance measurements obtained to distance measurements. A centering algorithm is employed to compensate for malalignment of the capacitive probe in the fastener hole.
