Abstract

An inspection system (126) for inspecting cooling holes (120) in a component (90) and a related method are provided. The inspection system includes at least one inspection element (128). Each inspection element includes a probe element (132) configured to be inserted into a respective cooling hole (120) of the plurality of cooling holes. Each inspection element includes a three-axes force/torque transducer (140) operatively coupled to each probe element. The three-axes force/torque transducer measures three-axes forces applied to the probe element and three-axes torques applied to the probe element during insertion of the probe element into the respective cooling hole. A controller (150) is operatively coupled to each inspection element and determines whether the respective cooling hole into which a respective inspection element is inserted is at least partially blocked based on at least one of the three-axes forces and the three-axes torques measured by the three-axes force/torque transducer of the respective inspection element.
