With its high-resolution camera, a camera diameter of just 6 mm and a five-metre-long camera cable, this video endoscope is particularly well suited for inspecting the interiors of pipes, large tanks or machine components. The practical functions for marking and annotating the captured images directly via the touchscreen significantly reduce the effort required for subsequent documentation of the condition found.
If the inspection images need to be assessed directly on site, this video endoscope makes it quick and easy to do so. The robust construction and the camera cable’s high IP 67 protection rating allow it to be used even under difficult conditions. The camera and camera cable may even be submerged in water, salt water or oil for up to 30 minutes during the inspection.
All video endoscopes in this series can be operated very comfortably using function keys, a touchscreen and a joystick. The handle fits so securely and comfortably in the hand that the image trigger, joystick and almost all function keys can be operated with the same hand. Depending on the space available and accessibility of the inspection site, a tripod, magnetic mount or shoulder strap can also be used to keep your hands free whilst still keeping an eye on the display.
For inspections of safety- or function-critical components in buildings, technical installations, machinery or vehicles, this video endoscope offers enhanced capabilities for documenting visual inspections. Whether for quality control at the manufacturing plant or for routine or unscheduled inspections at the point of use, the comprehensive marking functions simplify the creation of traceable images for inspection reports.
Camera features
The camera on this video endoscope is front-facing and has a very wide viewing angle of 120°. The field of view can be illuminated by switching on LEDs. This lighting can be adjusted to the surroundings in six stages at the touch of a button, ensuring that details are clearly visible. The camera’s high resolution, wide viewing angle and focus range of 10 to 100 mm enable informative and detailed images.
Camera cable
The camera cable has a diameter of 6 mm and is 5 m long. With these dimensions, the video endoscope is well suited for inspecting long stretches within narrow pipes, large turbines, large tanks or extensive cavities in which technical installations are located. The camera head is made from a highly durable titanium alloy, whilst the endoscope cable sheath is made from braided tungsten. The cable is connected to the motor unit and, via this, to the control and display unit. The connection to the hand-held unit can be quickly and securely attached and detached. The highly flexible camera head, which can be moved by motor to change the viewing direction, is 60 mm long. To achieve a 90-degree bend for changing the viewing direction, the 60 mm long camera head requires a bending radius of 50 mm. To examine other areas of the object under inspection, the endoscope cable with the straight camera head is simply pushed further in or pulled back.
Touchscreen
The video endoscope is equipped with a 7-inch touchscreen offering a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels. Menu functions can be easily started and stopped via the icons at the edges of the screen. To zoom in on the current image, simply tap it or pinch out with two fingers.
Function menu
Thanks to the symbols on the control buttons and the icons on the touchscreen, the video endoscope can be operated without instructions after just a short time, despite its many special functions. For example, the current image can be rotated by ninety degrees at a time simply by tapping the corresponding symbol, making it easier to identify the details of the image content. The picture-in-picture function allows you to call up another, previously saved image in addition to the current image. This enables the area currently being examined to be compared directly on the touchscreen with a similar situation elsewhere or with the condition observed during the previous inspection. To do this, you can tap to select whether the live image is displayed as a large background or as a section within the saved image.
One of the special features of this video endoscope is the report function.
Images can be selected for the report and saved as a PDF together with explanatory text. Furthermore, each saved image can be marked with predefined or custom image stamps to make it easier to assign it to the correct project and the relevant location. Coloured markings, which can be easily drawn onto the image with a finger, allow details to be highlighted quickly.
Images and videos
The video endoscope not only displays live images on the screen, it can also save images and videos. Images are saved as JPGs and videos in MP4 format. You can choose to save them to the internal memory, a USB stick or an SD card. By adding markings and image stamps directly to the image via the touchscreen after saving, the clarity of the images can be improved with minimal effort.
Power supply
The video endoscope comes with two special rechargeable batteries that are very easy to swap. This means that when the first battery is flat, you can continue working immediately with the second battery. If a charging facility is available on site, the battery can also be charged whilst the video endoscope is in use. The capacity of a fully charged battery is 6,400 mAh, providing an operating time of more than 3 hours.
Accessories
The video endoscope is supplied in a sturdy wheeled case, which can be securely closed thanks to a four-point locking mechanism and rubberised finish. In addition to the video endoscope, the case contains, as standard, two device-specific batteries, the matching power supply and a USB-C cable for charging, an HDMI cable for data transfer, a 64 GB SD memory card and an SD card reader with a USB port, as well as a shoulder strap and, of course, the user manual.
