Here you can find interesting facts about interesting devices used for industrial undestructive testing and medicine: borescopes, fiberscopes and videoscopes: Why use Borescope and Fiberscope? # You will view the inaccessible with crystal clarity: MEDIT borescopes are high quality optical tools designed to penetrate places where your eyes can't go. They are self illuminating, and deliver a brightly lit, magnified image of the inspected area to the eyepiece. You can't get a clearer, brighter image than what you'll see through a MEDIT borescope. # You will speed inspections: Even the toughest inspections will be done quickly. And there is no interpretation needed. Therefore, labor is reduced and equipment downtime is cut. # You will improve preventive maintenance: You will do close-up interior inspections without the need for dismantling equipment. Estimate needed repairs. And identify potential problems before they become major headaches. # You will cut manufacturing re-work: By examining new equipment interiors for signs of damage before installing them, you will cut re-work frequency. Maintain quality control levels. And improve vendor responsiveness. # You will increase safety: With borescope inspections you will ensure proper operation of relief valves, rupture discs, piping, boiler flames, etc. Find corrosion, cracks, blockages, materials buildup and coatings early, before they cause serious damage. And view hazardous operations from a safe distance. # The complete line of MEDIT borescopes includes rigid and fiberoptic borescopes, flexible fiber optic fiberscopes, video cameras for borescope and fiberscopes, Software Image and Video Recording systems. A Look at Modern Technology During last years, there has been an increase of technology in the sphere of non-destructuve testing. We now have the ability to see and inspect every inch of an aircraft. Prices start to come down. Some of the products are a little pricey right now, but they are on the downhill swing. Borescopes and videoscopes allow a technician to see items from a remote location through a direct viewing system. This can be accomplished using borescope technology, miniature camera or a combination of both. Most models are adaptable for use with color monitors, if they are not provided already, allowing for a clear picture into the test area. If you are looking to purchase this type of equipment, the first thing that you must do is to determine what you are going to inspect. We have seen shops purchase the highest priced piece of equipment, only to be disappointed by the performance. They did not purchase the right tool for the right job and this will make all of the difference in the world. There are some very good multi-purpose devices on the market now. We would like to offer you time-proved products for qualified maintenance technicians. Making Quality Portable Please look through this testimony how borescope can help: General Automotive Manufacturing Co. LLC (GA, Franklin, WI) needed to find inspection tools that could be used inside deep bores and in small diameter holes. The company also needed to report defects and process problems more quickly to manufacturing teams in order to ensure on time delivery of orders with no incidents of defects. Burrs, sharp edges and other defects can be extremely detrimental, particularly in the case of mission-critical parts. According to Gary Kosterman, GA quality manager, the borescopes fit in multiple work cells where necessary. Each cell is a self-contained manufacturing team that includes a visual inspection station. The inspection stations are equipped with a Hawkeye borescope, a portable or fixed-light source, and often a video monitor to allow the operator to view part images quickly and comfortably. This system provides immediate detection capabilities at the point of operation and allows containment of defects early in the manufacturing process. Although the borescope’s primary function is to check machined parts, engineers also use them to diagnose the cause when an assembly line machine is experiencing trouble. GA engineers have found that the borescopes save them time and labor, as well as giving them the accurate images they need without slowing down production.

No secret that our company offers a wide range of inspection devices: borescopes, fiberscopes and videoscopes. But what many people don’t know is that these medical and industrial tools are also used to make movies and television programs. Here we’d like to take a look at a bright example of videoscopic film-making. Today, these interesting devices are widely used for tasks ranging from emergency rescue to aircraft engine and nuclear power plant maintenance. Wonderful that as technology has advanced, the image quality and mobility of videoscope systems have improved, thousands of unexpected new uses have been found for these versatile tools. Two cinematographers, Jeff Morales and Alastair MacEwen, made an interesting film for National Geographic Television & Film’s popular Explorer series and television specials. Their one-hour program, titled ‘Insect Wars,’ gives viewers an inside look at a world they would otherwise never see.
