Zusammenfassung:Systems and methods are provided for inspecting a structure (120). One embodiment is a method for inspecting a structure (120). The method includes advancing a structure (120) along a track (110, 112) in a process direction (199), aligning a N on-Destructive Inspection (N DI) station at the track (112) With an edge of the structure (120) that was trimmed upstream of the cleaning station, imaging the edge via the NDI station (180), characterizing the edge based on the imaging, and advancing the structure (120) further in the process direction (199) via the track (112).
