Olympus Corp., Tokyo, has launched its new Iplex NX videoscope, featuring excellent image quality, maneuverability, and intuitive operation to streamline the location, identification, and measurement of previously undetectable flaws.
It combines a high-pixel CCD chip, an ultra-bright laser diode light system, and the Olympus PulsarPic processor, to reduce signal noise and deliver clear, bright images. Operators can identify and measure flaws from twice as far from the specimen as possible with conventional videoscopes.
The image quality and ultrabright illumination make it easy to inspect a large area for small, subtle flaws. The videoscope can capture crisp images even in hard-to-access spaces, such as the interior of gas turbines, where external lighting cannot reach. Furthermore, by illuminating a wide area, the Iplex NX improves an inspector’s efficiency and productivity.
The resilient TaperedFlex fine tungsten mesh insertion tube combines superb scope maneuverability with optimized rigidity and flexibility, making it easy to navigate in tight spaces while maintaining outstanding abrasion resistance. The distal end of the insertion tube is highly flexible and capable of making complex bends to arrive at hard-to-reach areas.
TrueFeel electric articulation is enhanced with reduced mechanical lag and greater sensitivity, giving the NX ultra-responsive articulation and an increased range of articulation in four directions. The TrueFeel design maximizes the use of buttons and a joystick, so that the device is comfortable and easy to use, even for long periods of time.
