Remote visual inspection (RVI) of materials, components and structures can give inspectors and technicians warnings of many potential failures before they cause problems. A videoscope is an inspection instrument that consists of a small camera mounted on a length of cable that permits inspection of internal surfaces and other features of an engine, machinery or structure without causing damage to delicate parts or the need to dismantle. Olympus — a world-leading manufacturer of optical, electronic and precision engineering products — has been at the forefront of videoscope development for many decades and with the introduction of the iPlex NX industrial videoscope, the company enters a new era of precision with a unit that has the greatest measurement accuracy on the market allowing the detection of the smallest defects. “The NX can be used for a broad range of applications and is the new ‘gold standard’ for videoscopes,” says Brendan Slaven, product specialist – RVI at Olympus. “This latest unit gives you the best of everything.” An iPlex NX can help locate flaws that were previously undetectable, as well as streamline inspections in even the most difficult-to-reach areas. The scope combines an industry-leading high-pixel CCD chip, an ultra-bright laser diode light system delivered through the tip of the probe, and Olympus’ unique PulsarPic processor to automatically adjust light output, to deliver the clearest images possible in changeable inspection conditions. According to Slaven, the iPlex NX has the highest resolution of any scope on the market. “The new design and other enhancements mean that the NX can accurately measure areas up to four times larger than conventional scopes,” he says. The iPlex NX also offers a unique multi Spot-Ranging function that enables real-time measurement of the distance from the scope tip to multiple points on the inspection surface. This provides real-time surface shape information with no pause or break in the inspection. The videoscope camera can be controlled remotely by an operator while it is inserted in the cavity to be inspected. The NX videoscope can be configured for a variety of inspection tasks, with 6.0 mm probes ranging in length from 3.5 m to 7.5 m and 4.0 mm probes with lengths of 3.5 m and 5 m. The finer probe tip allows access to very confined spaces such as between heat exchanger tubes or turbine blades. The compact and robust construction of the NX design has achieved International Protection Rating of IP55 and complies with stringent US military standards for dust and rain resistance, as well as drop testing.
