The high-resolution video endoscope is ideal for inspecting components that are difficult to access. Thanks to the materials used, its practical design and extensive marking and annotation functions, the portable video endoscope can also be used for particularly demanding tasks. The sophisticated features have been optimised for technicians and engineers who wish to evaluate and document their inspection results directly on site. With an IP rating of IP 67, the video endoscope can also be used for inspections in very dusty environments. Thanks to its high protection rating, even immersion in water, salt water or oil for up to 30 minutes will not damage the video endoscope.
Possible areas of application for this video endoscope include, for example, quality assurance during the manufacture of function- or safety-critical components in mechanical engineering, plant engineering and vehicle construction. However, the video endoscope is not only suitable for the visual inspection of new components; it is also highly versatile for inspections during scheduled and unscheduled maintenance or for structural inspections. Furthermore, following accidents, anomalies or malfunctions, the video endoscope can be used to carry out many informative examinations with virtually no risk of damage.
Camera
The video endoscope is equipped with a front-facing camera. An LED is installed next to the camera lens, which can be used to illuminate the field of view. To optimally illuminate the targeted area, the intensity of the light source can be adjusted in 6 steps at the touch of a button. With a focus range of 10 to 100 mm and a very wide viewing angle of 120 degrees, many situations can be captured clearly. For objects within the focus range, the video endoscope delivers clear and detailed images at the appropriate brightness. To examine further areas, the camera cable can be extended, retracted or rotated. In addition, the separately movable 60 mm long camera head can be bent in the desired direction using a motor-assisted joystick.
Touchscreen
The video endoscope’s 7-inch monitor has a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels. It can be used not only to display the current camera view and stored videos and images. As an easy-to-use touchscreen, it offers many additional functions. For example, the image displayed by the video endoscope can be digitally magnified up to eight times by double-tapping the image on the touchscreen or pinching it apart with two fingers.
&Using the icons on the sides of the touchscreen, functions can be conveniently started and stopped. Among other things, the displayed image can be easily rotated or flipped by tapping an icon, making it easier to assess or classify the image content. Changes to the video endoscope’s settings and text entries to explain the images can also be made easily on this video endoscope via the touchscreen.
Endoscope cable
The video endoscope cable connected to the motor unit has a diameter of just 6 mm even in the camera area and is approximately 1.85 m long. The controllable camera head is 60 mm long and requires a radius of 50 mm to change the viewing direction by 90 degrees. The connection between the camera unit and the handpiece can be locked and released easily and securely. The cable sheath is made of braided tungsten, whilst the camera head is made of a particularly durable titanium alloy.
Handling
The video endoscope is very easy to operate via the touchscreen, joystick and function keys located in the upper section of the handle. The handle sits securely and comfortably in the hand, allowing the joystick, image trigger and almost all function keys to be used whilst holding it. The joystick, positioned between the buttons, can be operated comfortably with a single finger. For longer sessions, depending on the situation on site, it is advisable to use the supplied shoulder strap, a tripod or the magnetic mount.
Menu functions
Thanks to the button symbols and icons, the video endoscope allows for largely intuitive use of the many additional functions after just a short time. Using the picture-in-picture function, for example, the current live image can be compared with a saved image. The live image can be displayed either as an overlaid section or in full size as a background image. Other functions allow images to be overlaid with a grid and the insertion of text and markings in various colours. This video endoscope also features a report menu.
In the report, which is saved as a PDF document, selected images can be organised and annotated with captions. For text input, you can choose from various keyboard types, which are operated in the same way as on a smartphone.
Images and videos
The video endoscope saves images as JPGs and videos in MP4 format. To take a picture, simply press the shutter button on the handle or tap the icon on the touchscreen. The recordings can be stored in the internal memory or saved directly to an SD card or USB stick. Using the video endoscope’s special functions, any areas on the saved images can be marked and annotated immediately after capture. Correct time and date stamps and clear component labels also facilitate correct identification at a later stage.
Power supply
The video endoscope is supplied as standard with two rechargeable batteries and a mains adapter. The batteries can be easily swapped and, if necessary, charged whilst in use. The batteries feature a USB-C port for charging. With a capacity of 6,400 mAh, a single charge provides more than 3 hours of operation. The current charge level is displayed directly on the battery when the video endoscope is switched on.
Accessories
The video endoscope comes with a sturdy wheeled case for convenient and safe transport of the device. The scope of delivery also includes two device-specific batteries, a power supply unit and a USB-C cable for charging the batteries, a shoulder strap, an HDMI cable, a 64 GB SD memory card and an SD card reader with a USB port.
