SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INSPECTION OF METAL PARTS

The invention relates to a system for inspecting the surface of a metal part in which a plurality of geometric profile sensors (10) are spaced apart and attached to a frame (1) and a plurality of eddy current sensors (20) are also spaced apart and attached to the frame (1) facing the surface of the metal part to be inspected. During operation of the system, there is a relative longitudinal displacement, and optionally a relative rotational displacement, between the frame (1) and the metal part being inspected. The system further includes an electromagnetic signal electronic multiplexing circuit that receives and processes signals obtained in real time from the plurality of geometric profile sensors (10) and eddy current sensors (20). Furthermore, there is an interpretation and evaluation unit which receives the processed signals from the electronic multiplexing circuit and identifies defects on the surface of the metal part. The invention also encompasses a method for inspecting at least one section having a
