Reimagine
ultrasonic testing
The pressure to reduce operating costs and increase productivity
while maintaining reliable inspections is higher than ever. And withincreasingly complex testing procedures, more instrument parameters
to understand, and the growing loss of domain expertise, it’s becoming
even more challenging.
The majority of Ultrasonic Phased Array Testing (PAUT) systems on
the market are complex and require extensive inspector training.
Instruments designed to gather a wealth of data for a range of usecases can lead to inconsistency among procedures. That means
higher costs and less efficiency.
But what if performing high-quality, efficient UT inspections was aseasy as using a smartphone? With Mentor UT, it is.

Consistency
you can customize.

Mentor UT offers a new kind of inspection experience by combining outstanding UT
performance, customizable workflow applications and user interfaces, and intuitive
hardware with embedded expertise—making inspections more accessible andefficient. Visit inspectionworks.com to download the software at no cost.

Mentor Create
This desktop software allows you to customize or create inspection “apps” foryour unique testing procedures, industry applications, and experience levels.
These can be as detailed or generic as you see fit.

Mentor PC
Utilize all the tools available on Mentor UT, right on your PC. With Mentor PC, youcan conveniently upload and analyze your inspection data on your computer
without having to purchase or learn another specialized software package.
With Mentor PC Live, you can harness the processing power of your PC to drive
the Mentor UT remotely with the scan data saved directly to your local network

Workflows
User-defined menus can walk technicians through every step of any inspection—from probe selection and calibration, to reporting—ensuring consistency acrossyour inspections, every time, from every inspector. And with the flexibility to load
multiple workflows on one device, you can guarantee easy access to the rightapps for any inspection.

Remote Collaboration
With live video and two-way chat and annotation features, remote experts cansee what the inspector sees and instantly communicate, troubleshooting issues
on the spot, without the inspector ever leaving the inspection site.

Power meets
performance
Mentor UT was developed with the quality andprecision you expect from Waygate Technologies.
And it’s now more powerful than ever.

Field-ready right out of the box
Take the guesswork out of inspection
setup with probe kits and inspection apps
already installed on your device. Reference
guides are also immediately accessible
during field inspections with pictures,videos, training documents, and detailed
inspection procedures.

Remote calibration-capable
Save time and resources. Every Mentor UT is
InspectionWorks enabled. This makes it the first
UT device to easily allow wireless connectivity
and live streaming. Now, you can get expert
advice or a second opinion for toughinspection calls when you need it: in real time.

Rugged durability
Mentor UT stands up to tough environmentswith its IP65 durability rating. It’s extensively
tested for water and dust resistance, extreme
heat and humidity, cold, vibration, shocks,and drops.

High-performance design
With 20 kHz pulse repetition frequency (PRF),
Mentor UT combines a 32:32 phased array
flaw detector (upgradable to 32:128) with aconventional UT channel to instantly switch
between phased array and conventional
inspections as needed.

Intuitive operation
With a glove-friendly, daylight-readable
touchscreen, data collection, archiving andreporting are simplified with the ability tostore A-scan data, as well as post-inspection
analyses, right on the device.

Find the solution tailoredfor your application.
When you need a strong tool that knows how to set the bar high, Mentor UT and
its custom-tailored workflows are ideal for any industrial application, guiding you
through consistent inspections and ensuring reliable results.

With superb mechanical design and quality, our fieldproven PALM scanners offer unparalleled ease of use foroperators inspecting circumferential butt welds.

Despite the increasing use of adhesives as a joining
technology for automotive body panels, adhesive bonding
may not provide 100% process reliability. The Bond
Scanner identifies areas with lack of adhesive, as well as
misaligned bond lines, and provides a workflow-based,
reliable inspection with the Mentor UT.

With performance rivaling that of a full immersion C-scansystem, our easy-to-use RotoArray gives you faster,
more reliable Scan-images, all with the portability of a
handheld probe. Together with the Mentor UT, this phasedarray inspection device allows rapid scanning of a wide
variety of materials and components, making ultrasonicinspections even simpler.

Increase productivity with our solid axle mechanizedtesters (SAMT). Designed for front-face inspections ofrailway axles, this flexible solution delivers the required
steering angles to optimally cover the axle’s full lateralservice. And combining SAMT with our Mentor UT’s
multi-group capabilities enables faster, safer and moreaccurate inspections.

With a demonstrated history of providing a wide array of solutions, our experienced
Application Engineers and Specialists will work closely with you to provide technicalassistance, design custom products or do whatever it takes to solve your ultrasonic
testing challenges.
