Advanced PAUT Composite Inspection
The RSflite (linear scanning only) and VEO3 phased array instruments, along with WheelProbe 2 128 or 64 element versions and UTmap software, have been entirely designed and optimised for the needs in various industries, including aerospace, composite and automotive sectors.
These complete package options helps to qualify new composites at the design stage as well as detect reflective defects during manufacturing or after impacts. The portable and battery-operated kit allows for the detection and precise sizing of delamination’s, disbonding and porosities in materials. This solution is equally efficient for manufacturing or maintenance.

Frequency recommendations according to the thickness:
1 mm < T < 10 mm = 10 MHz
2.5 mm < T < 25 mm = 5 MHz
T > 25 mm = 2.25 MHz
The 10 MHz WheelProbe 2 is the perfect solution for high-precision inspections.
