MAUS^®

• Portable inspection system
• Multiple data acquisition modes include ultrasonic pulse-echo, ultrasonic thru-transmission, phased array ultrasonic, resonance, MIA, pitch-catch, and eddy current
• Family of scanners address small to large area inspection requirements
• Over fifty systems in use for applications ranging from primary quality inspections on composite structure to maintenance inspections on aging aircraft

Mobile Automated Scanner (MAUS^®)

 

Unique features of the Boeing MAUS^®V system include equipment portability, ease of setup, inspection versatility, and very fast inspection rates. These features contribute to an efficient approach for the on-site inspection of large structures. Inspection applications include metals, monolithic composites, hybrid composite-metals, and bonded structures.

System Features

• Scan speeds up to 100 sq ft per hour using 0.04” data resolution
• Pulse-echo, thru-transmission, or shear wave sensors provide ultrasonic time-of-flight and attenuation information for thickness gauging, detection of laminar defects and porosity, or crack detection applications
• Resonance, pitch/catch, or mechanical impedance sensors provide indications of voids or porosity in an adhesive bondline
• Single and dual frequency eddy current methods support crack and/or corrosion detection in aging metallic structure
• Several raster scanner options available ranging from small hand scanners to large track scanners
• Rotational scanning option supports detailed interrogation around installed fasteners
• Advanced imaging and data analysis features enhance inspection data interpretation
