Abstract:
An inspection device for contactless three-dimensional inspection of a blade for a turbomachine. The device includes at least one first pair of laser measurement modules to scan the blade and a rotational drive to rotate, about the main axis, the blade relative to the modules along the main axis of the blade. The device then rebuilds a three-dimensional virtual representation of the blade using data coming from the scan and performs a dimensional inspection using the three-dimensional representation. Each pair of modules includes a first module oriented towards a first face of the blade and a second module oriented towards a second face of the blade. The modules are oriented relative to the blade so that during rotation, the modules scan the faces of the blade on the entire rim of the blade, and during translation of the blade along the main axis, the faces are scanned throughout their height.

Claim (Index 6):
A device for contactless three-dimensional inspection of a blade for a turbomachine, said blade comprising a body extending radially along a main axis between a blade root and a blade tip with a defined height, and comprising a first main face and a second main face terminated by a leading edge and a trailing edge, said device comprising:\n means for scanning said blade, said means for scanning comprising at least one first pair of laser measurement modules ( 2 A,  2 B), and means for rotationally driving, about the main axis, said blade relative to the laser measurement modules or vice versa, means for driving, in translation along the main axis, said blade relative to the laser measurement modules or vice versa; means for building a three-dimensional virtual representation of said blade using data coming from said scanning means; means for dimensionally inspecting using said rebuilt three-dimensional virtual representation to produce an inspection result; each pair of laser measurement modules comprising a first module oriented towards a first face of said blade and a second module oriented towards a second face of said blade; said laser measurement modules being oriented relative to said blade so that:\n during a rotation of said modules or of said blade about the main axis, said scanning means scan the first and second faces of said blade on an entire rim of said blade, and \n during a translation of said modules or of said blade along the main axis, said scanning means scan the first and second faces of said blade throughout their height.
