Waygate USM-GO+ / DMS-Go+ Flaw Detector and Corrosion Thickness Gauge

The new ultrasonic Go platform from GE’s Inspection Technologies business combines a thickness gauge and a flaw detector in one single lightweight instrument. With fast field software upgradeability, start with a DMS Go or USM-Go and add the other as your inspections demand, or buy both initially.

USM-Go+:

What a field NDT operator needs is:

An instrument you can use with one hand – The USM Go+ is the ideal device for portable ultrasonic testing. It comfortably fits in the palm of your hand or pocket of coveralls for ease of use and transport. It’s the perfect tool for operation in confined spaces, areas with difficult access or other difficult environments. Actually, you operate it with one hand, thanks to the arrow-keypad, which allows for intuitive navigation and fast and precise adjustments. That comes in handy, when you need your other hand to adjust the probe or just hold on to a ladder. Are you left-handed? No problem, use the ‘flip’ function to adapt the instrument to your hand
A robust, heavy duty device – Its molded rubber casing makes the USM Go+ the sturdy instrument you need in the sometimes harsh conditions ‘in the field’. It is dust and waterproof to IP67 and has been tested according to military standards.
The biggest and brightest screen in its class – The 108mm x 64,8 mm screen (zoomed mode) with best in class 800 x 480 pixel resolution offers optimum echo dynamics and separation. Moreover, it is exceptionally bright so you can easily read the image even in full sunlight. On the other hand, when working in the dark, you can reduce the brightness to reduce eye fatigue and conserve battery life. An integrated stand allows you to optimize the viewing angle, when the instrument is desk or bench mounted.
Outstanding UT performance – Equipped with state-of-the art technology, the USM Go+ takes UT performance in handheld instruments a step further. The excellent near surface resolution enables you to detect flaws located just under the surface of the test piece with a high degree of reliability. A wide Pulse Repetition Frequency range allows you to use the USM Go+ at low PRF to inspect forged parts without any “ghost” echoes and to inspect welds at high PRF when fast scanning speed is required.
A tool that boosts your productivity – Ultra-portable, easy-to-handle, intuitive operation, high performance – the USM Go+ is your plug & play tool that will give your productivity a boost the moment you start using it.
