Abstract:
1. Ultrasonic head for pulse-echo multichannel inspection applied to flat and curved surfaces, which comprises a chassis, housing an array of feeler-carrier devices each one carrying at least one ultrasonic feeler and which can be coupled to a displacement system which permits the head to be displaced over the entire surface of curved and flat pieces to inspect by means of ultrasonic sweeping using a coupling medium between the head and the piece to test, wherein the chassis comprises a first point of rotation and a second point of rotation between which is defined a main tilting axis, and a tilting frame coupled to the chassis via said first point of rotation and said second point of rotation in such a way that said tilting frame rotates around the main tilting axis, and said tilting frame defines a central opening and at least one feeler-carrier device is located in said central opening in at least one axis of rotation transverse to the main tilting axis of the tilting frame.
