A wheel inspection system designed for faster, more reliable eddy current inspection of aircraft wheel hubs has reportedly been developed at GE Inspection Technologies, Hurth, Germany. The WheelScan system provides real time test display, thermal strip chart reporting, or PC-based paperless data reporting and archiving of results.

The most common errors in typical systems occur during the entering of old data. The WheelScan system eliminates that step by allowing a user to recall all previous test information by scanning the bar code ...
