Summary
We have discussed the design and deployment of a newinspection
system for hollow rail axles.
1. A modular (subsystems ) design enables flexibility
andadaptability.
2. A cooperative approach enables the best use of availabletools
and human expertise.
3. The application of Inspection Automation to
maximizeproductivity of the NDT process.
