Image Recording Assemblies and Coupling Mechanisms For Stator Vane Inspection
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for recording images of a stator vane of a compressor, comprising:
- a first subassembly comprising;
a first image recording device coupled to a first printed circuit board (PCB);
one or more memories coupled to the PCB; and
a first processor coupled to the PCB,wherein the first subassembly is coupled to an attachment mechanism to form an image recording assembly,wherein the attachment mechanism is configured to couple the image recording assembly to a rotor blade of the compressor.
