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®)
The Boeing MAUS®V system is a
portable c-scan inspection system that integrates several traditional
inspection techniques into a single package. This system is effective in
a variety of production manufacturing and aircraft maintenance
environments for process quality inspections, damage assessment, aging
structure evaluation, and repair validation programs.
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
