CUINSPEC Ltd.

CUINSPEC’s autonomous robotic crawler is engineered to revolutionize the inspection of reusable rockets by tackling the limitations of traditional magnetic and manual methods. Designed for non-magnetic materials like stainless steel commonly used in rocket fuselages and weather jackets, our system employs a high-performance vortex-based suction mechanism combined with a dual-angle-changeable crawler architecture. This allows for stable traversal over complex curved surfaces, vertical walls, and even inverted geometries.

The crawler is equipped with state-of-the-art NDT capabilities, including Long-Range Ultrasonic Testing (LRUT), Electromagnetic Acoustic Transducers (EMAT), and LIDAR, enabling high-fidelity detection of surface and subsurface anomalies without requiring direct contact.

What sets CUINSPEC apart is our integration of digital twin technology. Every inspection is digitally mirrored in a physics-based simulation environment, allowing for predictive maintenance, real-time condition monitoring, and risk analysis over time. These digital twins simulate both the rocket structure and the robotic inspection system, ensuring that each deployment is optimized for performance and safety.

Together, these technologies enable rapid, accurate inspections between rocket launches—minimizing downtime, increasing launch frequency, and supporting the reliability and lifecycle management of reusable launch systems.
