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 1):
An apparatus for inspecting a bolt, the bolt comprising a cylindrical threaded surface delimited by a pair of end faces opposite to each other, the apparatus comprising:\n an ultrasonic transducer device contacting one of one of the pair of the end faces of the bolt that is configured to perform a scan operation; and a guide structure that is configured to guide a motion of the ultrasonic transducer device such that only a first portion of a transducer contact surface contacts the one of the pair of the end faces of the bolt during the scan operation, wherein the guide structure is configured to guide the motion of the ultrasonic transducer device by delimiting a radial extent of the motion of the ultrasonic transducer device.
