Abstract:
An apparatus for bolt inspection are presented. The bolt has a cylindrical threaded surface delimited by a pair of end faces that are opposite to each other. An ultrasonic transducer device contacts one of the pair of end faces for performing a scan operation. A guide structure is engaged with the bolt that guides a motion of the ultrasonic transducer device such that only a portion of a transducer contact surface contacts the one of the pair of end faces during the scan operation. The guide structure delimits a radial extent of the motion of the ultrasonic transducer device during the scan operation.

Claim (Index 10):
The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the ultrasonic transducer device is configured to further perform multiple individual overlapping scan operations along the one of the pair of the end faces of the bolt to inspect an entire cross section of a minor diameter of the bolt.
