MAUS XX

Multichannel equipment for automatic ultrasonic testing systems

MAUS XX (Automatic Multichannel Ultrasonic System) is the new generation of multichannel equipment for automatic ultrasonic inspection systems. Performance, modularity, flexibility, fitness for service and customization are its key features: in either smart-multiplex or full-parallel configuration, the instrument can be configured with 1 to 256 channels.

MAUS XX can be easily integrated into existing systems (including for retrofitting projects), thanks to its digital I/O ports, encoder inputs, LAN connectivity and software-configurable functions. Based on a Windows PC, the UTWORK management software is developed in-house by IMG Ultrasuoni and can be adapted to various applications: it includes data visualizations typical of both in-line and off-line inspections, file and report management, integration with enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and remote connectivity, ensuring full compliance with Industry 4.0 requirements.
