Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inspection probe which can be inserted into a bore for inspection regardless of vertical and non-vertical bores. SOLUTION: The probe (100) for inspecting the bore includes a housing (101) dimensioned for insertion into the bore and a plurality of stabilization legs (112) having a first end (106) attached to the housing (101) and a second end (108) extendable from the housing (101). The stabilization legs (112) are configured to contact the inner surface of the bore. A plurality of sensor arms (116) are extendable from the housing (101) and rotatable relative to the stabilization legs (112). A motor (111) provides for rotating the sensor arms (116) relative to the stabilization legs (112). COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
