Automated visual-inspection system determines whether turbine wheel assembled in correct positions. Includes two subsystems; part manipulator and control-and-analysis subsystem. Video camera having fixed focal length held stationary while part manipulator rotates turbine wheel to discrete angles so camera views specified positions on wheel. Control-and-analysis subsystem controls rotary table, processes image data acquired by camera, and makes record of inspection. Automated inspection of turbine wheel containing many small parts eliminates tedium and occasional error in repetitive visual and manual inspection by human technicians, enabling technicians to concentrate on nonroutine inspection problems.
