Title: Method for the inspection of a part by thermal imaging
Inventor: LEGRANDJACQUES LAURENT
IPC: G01J5/00
Filed: 1998-03-04
Abstract: The invention concerns a method which consists in scanning a part (1) surface (1a) by means generating a heat input producing heat influx in at least a heating zone (2) which is moved at the surface (1a) of the part (1) by the relative displacement of the part (1) and the heat influx means. A detector senses the flux radiated by the surface (1a) of the part (1) in a detection zone (3) displaced synchronously with the displacement of the heating zone (2). The detector supplies, for each position of a set of successive positions of the detection zone, a signal representing the radiated flux. The surface of the part is scanned following a predetermined path, in a first direction of displacement, then in a second direction of displacement opposite to the first, at an identical scanning speed. For each of the successive positions of the detection zone (3), a differential signal is produced by subtracting the signals obtained when scanning in one direction and in the other direction of the part (1) surface (1a).
