MAUS® RotoArray Portable C-Scan System
The MAUS® RotoArray™ is a portable, manually operated, phased array, ultrasonic inspection device which can be connected to the MAUS® C-Scan System to allow rapid scanning of a wide variety of materials and components.
Well suited for scanning composite and aluminum aerospace components, the MAUS® RotoArray™ can provide MAUS C-Scan images that are achieved with the simplicity of a handheld probe and with performance rivaling that of a full immersion C-scan system.

The MAUS® RotoArray™ can complement or replace immersion scanning systems in a manufacturing environment, while being equally functional inspecting in the field or laboratory. It is ideal for scanning aircraft on the ground for collision damage, post-repair and other inspections.
System Description
The compact and lightweight MAUS® RotoArray™ consists of a linear, 64 element ultrasonic array contained within a tire which is inflated with a fluid to create a flexible coupling chamber between the array and the test piece. The ultrasonic tire is fitted within a scanning cart that can be rolled along the surface of a part to create an encoded high quality C-scan image.
Rapid Scanning of Composite Surfaces and Structures
The MAUS® RotoArray™ scanning platform is designed primarily for the inspection of aerospace materials such as composite and aluminum, although the platform can be used for flaw detection and thickness measurement in a wide range of materials. It can be used for inspection during manufacturing as well as for the inspection of damage of aircraft in service.
