It is critical that these and other operating systems on these platforms are inspected routinely for [...]
The manufacture of expensive and complex communication satellites need to be thoroughly inspection with videoscopes. Any potential defect or foreign debris needs to be discovered for a space satellite to function properly. A videoscope can be snaked through tubes and behind electronic panels to check for problems before the construction is completed. Typically it is [...]
The diameter of a borescope, fiberscope or videoscope is probably the first and easiest specification to be determined when selecting the most appropriate remote visual inspection instrument. With a clear understanding of inner dimensions of the area that needs to be accessed choose an instrument that will be able to navigate and wind its way [...]
Remote visual inspection of wind turbines is needed to inspect gear boxes, wind turbine blades,and other critical components. A video borescope or videoscope is used to inspect the interior areas that are not accessible. A video borescope or videoscope can be inserted into impossible to reach areas that will allow the borescope camera to view [...]
Micro Borescopes that are 3.0 mm (0.12 in) and smaller in diameter can be used to inspect the interior of castings and machined parts. A micro or mini borescope can actually be as small as 0.35 mm (0.013 in). It is common that manufacturers will want to know the condition of interior channels and other [...]
A long pipe inspection camera can be used to successfully inspect the condition of pipes on ships. Any large ship such as a cruise line, navel vessel or cargo transport has mile of internal piping. This piping is subject to harsh environments such as salt air and internal corrosion. If the pipe on a ship [...]
