Zusammenfassung:	The present invention is directed to nondestructive testing of objects, and more specifically to a system for nondestructive testing of an object using a robotic arm. The end effector of the robotic arm is equipped with an arrangement of paired, angled transducers and an orthogonal transducer configured to scan an object using multiple wavelengths of ultrasonic sound waves. Multiple scans of a test object are taken as the object is rotated and the scans are then wirelessly transmitted to a user device or a remote server.
