Manual Rotary-Axis Scanner Works for Range of Applications

The Gyro single-encoded, rotary-axis manual scanner enables C-scan inspection. Its design allows the rugged rotary scanning platform to attach to the ends of studs, bolts, pins, and pipes via interchangeable jaws. This allows the scanner to cover a wide range of applications. It can be supplied with a range of clamping jaws to securely fit to either the inside diameter or outside diameter of components of varying shapes and sizes or pipes for application-specific inspections. The scanning platform mounts to the scanner body and houses a phased array probe and up to two ultrasonic transducers on adjustable tool post rails. An integrated high-resolution, nonslip encoder allows the operator to accurately position the sensor bay on and around the end of the inspection site and rotate the platform with a smooth scanning motion to produce C-scan inspections. The scanner can be operated by just one inspection engineer and is compatible with any industry-standard instrumentation. Its versatility lends itself to the oil and gas, nuclear, and power generation industries.

Miniature Handheld Videoscope Series Supports Remote Visual Inspection

The TVGM series of miniature, high-definition handheld industrial-grade videoscopes supports various nondestructive examination and remote visual inspection tasks. The family of videoscopes is offered in four unique models, with a choice of either a 3.9 mm (0.15 in.) or 6 mm (0.24 in.) camera and either a 1.5 m (4.9 ft) or 3 m (9.8 ft) videoscope probe length. The series features dual-key operation, a fully modular and ergonomic design, portability, one-handed operation, and end-user capability to quickly swap out probe lengths for increased application adaptability. The onboard controller delivers high-definition imaging, and a high-sensitivity onboard 720P complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensor supports continuous remote visualization, inspection, and observation tasks, even under low- or reduced-light conditions. A 4.3-in. high-
definition LCD touch screen display with high-intensity LED illumination allows for clear viewing of the magnified images and videos captured remotely by the videoscope camera. The device also offers on-demand recording, easy file access, parameter setting, and real-time data storage of JPG or AVI files onto an onboard 32GB micro-SD card.

Ultra HD Borescope Offers Precise Articulation for Quick Navigation to Target Area

The Voyager C40 borescope camera features joystick-controlled omnidirectional articulation and HD image quality. It is ideal for bores from 1.5 mm (0.06 in.) and inspecting deep areas up to 32.8 ft. The borescope is equipped with a 3.5-in. daylight display and a 1-
million-pixel HD camera. The insertion tube replacement technology allows users to replace insertion tubes with different specifications within 20 seconds. The borescope can be equipped with probes of different diameters, lengths, and depths of field to achieve multipurpose use. Its software comes with a picture and video list preview mode, 4× zoom, date watermark function, real-time 180-deg vertical image flip, and more. The insertion tube and probe are waterproof and oil and corrosion resistant. These features enable the tube and probe to work continuously in water or oil for 30 minutes.
