Claim Text:
1. A flaw detection system comprising: a coordinate measuring machine having a base and one or more transfer members, one or more articulation members connecting the one or more transfer members to the base, and a flaw detection sensor at a distal end of the coordinate measuring machine, the coordinate measuring machine being configured to measure a location of the flaw detection sensor; an electronics module at the distal end of the coordinate measuring machine and configured to generate digitized signals based at least on the ultrasound signal from the flaw detection sensor; internal cables within the coordinate measuring machine extending from the distal end to the base, the internal cables configured to transmit digitized signals from the flaw detection sensor; and a processor configured to correlate the location of the flaw detection sensor as measured by the coordinate measuring machine with data detected by the flaw detection sensor.
