Videoscopes Provide Bright, Clear Images

摘要

The IPLEX GX/GT industrial videoscopes are used to inspect the interior of confined spaces, such as power plant equipment or aircraft engines, without disassembly. The tip of a videoscope's insertion tube, which can be freely manipulated, is fitted with a very small camera with its own light source. The videoscope's white LED light source can easily be changed to ultraviolet (UV) or infrared light, making it adaptable to a wide range of applications. Infrared can be used to inspect in the dark, whereas UV is better at detecting fine cracks and showing the presence of lubricants. Proprietary image processing delivers clearer images with less noise. The videoscopes are also comfortable to hold and operate. The weight balance of the controller is optimized, minimizing operator fatigue. Additional features include a joystick control of scope-tip articulation; intuitive touch panel control option; 30 to 60 frames/s video capture rate; and 30% brighter LED light source than the previous model. The videoscopes can be controlled using the touch screen, allowing inspections to be performed without the use of the controller. Live streaming is also available with a wireless adaptor. Users, including trainees, can simultaneously view the inspection video using the IPLEX Image Share App for iOS devices.
