1. An inspecting apparatus with eddy current inspection comprising:
a determining device;
an inlet conveyer system for orientating and aligning objects;
a turntable connecting to an exit of said inlet conveyer system and including a plurality of cutout grooves spaced around an outer periphery thereof to receive and position said objects therein;
a shield board surrounding said turntable to prevent drops of said objects;
an outlet conveyer system disposed by the side of said turntable so as to sequentially output said objects; and
an eddy current probe being pivoted to an exit of said outlet conveyer system for receiving said objects and electrically communicated with said determining device; said eddy current probe further comprising:
a detecting entrance for passing said objects therethrough;
a detector disposed on an outer circumference of said detecting entrance and communicating with said determining device; and
a braking assembly and a dispensing system respectively mounted on said detecting entrance; wherein, said braking assembly having a power motor, and a braking rod driven by said power motor and laterally mounted through said detecting entrance to pause movements of said objects, whereby said objects would temporarily contact with said detector under a nondestructive inspection; said dispensing system being located below said braking assembly so as to sort said objects into defectives or non-defectives based on analyses of said determining device.
