Waygate TechnologiesNDT & Industrial Inspection
Waygate Technologies — acquired by Hexagon AB in 2026 — is the world's leading provider of non-destructive testing equipment, tracing its origins to GE Inspection Technologies. ASSET is the authorized representative in Egypt for the full Waygate inspection portfolio: remote visual inspection, industrial radiography, and computed tomography.
Whether qualifying new welds on a construction project, conducting in-service inspection of rotating equipment, or performing failure analysis on a critical component — Waygate technologies deliver quantitative, documented, and audit-ready inspection results.
Hero Products
Remote Visual Inspection
The Mentor videoscope family delivers high-resolution imaging, 3D dimensional measurement, and AI-assisted defect detection for in-service inspection of turbines, engines, heat exchangers, and pipelines — without shutdown or disassembly.
Mentor Visual IQ+
AI-Powered Flagship Videoscope
The Mentor Visual IQ+ is Waygate's most advanced remote visual inspection system, combining 3D Phase Measurement (3DPM), AI-powered defect detection (iQdetect), and cloud connectivity via InspectionWorks — all in a single field-ready package. Designed for turbine blade inspection, heat exchanger tube surveys, and weld root examination, it delivers quantitative measurements and automatic defect classification at the inspection point, reducing reliance on senior inspector judgement for routine screening.
- ›iQdetect — on-device AI identifies, classifies, and severity-rates defects per OEM criteria without post-processing
- ›InspectionWorks — live video streaming and remote expert collaboration without leaving the inspection site
- ›3DPM without stereo adapters — faster setup, no lost accessories, full probe-tip measurement capability
- ›Tip-exchange system for in-field probe tip swap in under 30 seconds
- ›Primary applications: gas turbine hot section, aircraft engine on-wing inspection, heat exchanger tube surveys
Mentor Flex
Compact Field Videoscope for Tight Access
The Mentor Flex is engineered for inspection tasks where access is restricted and instrument weight directly affects operator endurance. Its slim flexible insertion tube navigates multiple bends without buckling, making it the preferred choice for on-wing aircraft engine borescoping, gearbox cavity surveys, and valve body inspection. High-resolution CMOS imaging delivers sharp images in confined spaces with minimal lighting.
- ›Optimised insertion tube for long, complex routes — minimal stiffening through multi-bend insertion paths
- ›Optical 3D stereo measurement for depth and width assessment of surface defects and corrosion pits
- ›Lightweight handheld form factor reduces inspector fatigue during extended campaigns
- ›Field-swap tip exchange without tools — tip accessories shared with Mentor Visual IQ+
- ›Primary applications: on-wing engine borescope, wind turbine gearbox, pump impeller, valve body inspection
Mentor Flex+
Enhanced Resolution & Extended Reach
The Mentor Flex+ builds on the Mentor Flex platform with an upgraded image sensor, improved low-light signal-to-noise ratio, and extended probe length options — expanding coverage to steam generators, feedwater heaters, and long-bore pipeline sections. Its advanced optics deliver finer surface detail across the full field of view, reducing missed indications and the frequency of repeat inspection passes.
- ›Higher-resolution CMOS sensor renders finer surface texture — improved corrosion and crack characterisation
- ›Extended probe reach for steam generator tube inspection and long-bore pipeline surveys
- ›Improved signal-to-noise ratio in poorly lit cavities reduces need for supplemental lighting rigs
- ›InspectionWorks software integration for inspection reporting, trending, and remote collaboration
- ›Shared tip accessory inventory with Mentor Flex — minimises spare parts stockholding on site
Radiographic Inspection
Industrial Radiography
From proven Agfa film for established site procedures to real-time digital radiography and full volumetric CT scanning — Waygate and Agfa cover every radiographic technology for weld inspection, corrosion assessment, and component qualification.
Film Radiography
Agfa Industrial X-Ray Film
Agfa's D-series industrial radiographic films are the benchmark for film-based inspection, offering predictable sensitometry, fine-grain resolution, and compliance with EN ISO 17636-1 and ASME V Article 2. ASSET supplies the complete Agfa film range with matching chemistry, cassettes, and image quality indicators.
- ›D4 — high-speed general-purpose film for thick-section welds, heavy castings, and remote site work
- ›D5 — medium grain, high contrast for structural welds and pipeline girth welds
- ›D7 — fine grain for critical weld inspection to Class B requirements per EN ISO 17636-1
- ›D8 — ultra-fine grain for aerospace, nuclear, and highest-sensitivity applications
- ›Full consumable supply: developer and fixer chemistry, lead screens, film sleeves, wire-type and hole-type IQIs
Digital Upgrade Path
Computed Radiography (CR)
CR replaces film with reusable photostimulable phosphor (PSP) plates that are read by a laser scanner to produce DICONDE digital images. It upgrades existing X-ray and gamma-ray sources to digital output without replacing exposure hardware — the practical first step for sites transitioning from film.
- ›PSP plates rated for 1,000+ exposure cycles — dramatically lower consumable cost per shot versus film
- ›Flexible plate formats including pipeline wrap-around plates for girth weld inspection in the field
- ›Compatible with all conventional X-ray and gamma sources: Ir-192, Se-75, Co-60
- ›DICONDE-compliant output — compatible with existing PACS archives and third-party viewers
- ›Image quality equivalent to Class B film per EN ISO 17636-2 (ASTM E2033)
Real-Time Flat Panel Imaging
Digital Radiography (DR)
DR flat-panel detectors deliver immediate digital images without a scan cycle — enabling real-time imaging, live assembly verification, and high-throughput weld inspection campaigns. Paired with Waygate's Rhythm Radiography Suite for AI-assisted analysis, measurement, and DICONDE-compliant reporting.
- ›Flat-panel detector (FPD) — immediate readout, no plate handling or scan queue between exposures
- ›Real-time fluoroscopic mode for live component positioning, alignment verification, and dynamic studies
- ›Rhythm Radiography Suite — AI-assisted defect marking, multi-site image sharing, audit trail reporting
- ›High Detective Quantum Efficiency (DQE) — lower patient dose and better image SNR simultaneously
- ›Available in portable, semi-fixed, and permanent fixed-installation panel configurations
Full Volumetric 3D Inspection
Computed Tomography (CT)
Waygate's Phoenix CT systems reconstruct complete 3D volumetric models from hundreds of X-ray projections, revealing internal voids, cracks, inclusions, and wall thickness variations that are invisible to 2D radiography or surface inspection. Used for metrology, failure analysis, and first-article qualification.
- ›Phoenix Nanotom — submicron-resolution nano/micro-focus CT for precision castings, additive parts, and electronics
- ›Phoenix V|tome|x — scalable industrial CT platform from 130 kV to 450 kV for small to medium components
- ›Full volumetric defect detection: porosity mapping, crack detection, delaminations — no sectioning required
- ›Dimensional CT metrology: wall thickness maps and nominal-to-actual CAD deviation analysis
- ›Applied in aerospace casting qualification, automotive, advanced manufacturing, and electronics inspection
