AIT now offers the Milliscope™ flexible borescope. The new borescope is an affordable and small diameter solution for remote visual inspection of the smallest area.

The Milliscope™ flexible borescope is an affordable inspection system suitable for multiple applications. Outstanding optical clarity produces crisp images of the smallest defect. A flexible working length allows inspectors to snake around bends and corners to reach to most inaccessible areas.

The new instruments are available in diameters of 1.5 and 2.5 millimeters (.059 and 0.98 in.). These small diameters allow the borescopes to fit in the tightest areas and confined spaces to perform internal inspections. The flexible borescopes are also available in lengths up to 1000 millimeters (39.3 in.). Continue reading →

New Vuman Video Borescope

INVIZ VUMAN RA-Y X-Way long length video borescope is capable of fully articulating while completely coiled on the reel. This is not possible with any other video borescope. Using an advanced micro compressor the Vuman video borescope allows the tip of the borescope to be steered up to 100 ft (30 Meters) while wrapped up on the storage reel or passed through unlimited bends. Other systems are bulky and not able to articulate unless they are laid end to end in a straight line.

Other video borescopes rely on cables to manipulate the tip of the borescope. Cable articulation has always had limitations due to tension that is present in the cable over great distances or multiple bends. This tension causes the cables to fail or become unresponsive. The Vuman offers a tremendous advantage over these systems because no tension is present regardless of length or the number bends. Compressed air is push through the length of the video borescope to manipulate the tip with astonishing results. Continue reading →

Using A Borescope To Inspect Orbital Welds

Small Diameter Flexible Borescope Inspects Orbital Welds

Inspecting very small diameter welded piping requires a highly flexible borescope. Welded sections of sanitary piping or other high purity piping requires a borescope that can make the sharp bends, look at the wall and rotate 360° to view entire welds. A side view borescope should normal be used. Although a forward view borescope with a wide field can be used, but the detail is not as good, and some of the weld can be shadowed depending on the shape of the weld bead.

AIT now offers the super-flex scope which has a range of centering tools that can be added to the tip to maintain alignment in the pipe and focus distance to the weld. These small diaper and highly flexible borescopes can inspect 1/4”Ø pipe to 4”Ø pipe. Standard diameters are 2mm, 4mm, 6mm and 9mm. The 9mm diameter is built with sheathing that is stiffer than the 2mm, 4mm and 6mm diameters. This allows it to be pushed into larger piping.
