Industrial endoscopes are mainly used in automobiles, aircraft engines, pipelines, mechanical parts, etc., and can achieve non-destructive testing without disassembly or destruction of assembly and equipment shutdown.
What are the advantages of high-definition industrial endoscopes?
①Improve the defect detection rate
With high-definition imaging, inspectors can see more subtleties, increasing the probability of defect detection for key indicators such as corrosion, plugging, missing coating on turbine blades, and cracking.
②Reduce inspection time
Endoscopic inspections cover a variety of application areas: compressor inspections in power plants, inspection of gasket excursions in turbines, inspections of heat exchangers and distillation columns, and various other applications. Depending on the scenario, remote visual inspection tasks can be difficult to achieve. Completion times vary widely. But no matter what application, changing the optical adapter or repeatedly adjusting the probe position in order to see more clearly means slowing down the inspection speed, especially when replacing the optical adapter, it may take double the time just to find the once positioned defect site.
With HD imaging-enhanced digital zoom, inspectors capture sharper images, view them on an all-in-one device, and identify smaller signs from greater distances. This makes inspections faster and easier to perform. Save more or less time for each of your inspections, and over time periods of one year or more, the time savings can be significant.
③ Reduce unnecessary economic losses or expenses
In traditional inspections, especially for some critical components, inspectors are often suspicious of potential problems or signs that are invisible or unclear. For example, an inspector trying to inspect a potential crack in a turbine stage that is only visible between the blades, but failing to place the probe in the correct position, risks making the wrong decision, the subsequent impact of which can be significant. For example, for the inspection of large gas turbines, once the suspected signs are judged to be defective, the turbine must be dismantled for a comprehensive inspection. And that process could result in nearly a week of downtime, and millions of dollars in lost revenue. With clear remote vision images on high-definition equipment and the ability to measure from greater distances, inspectors are able to make more informed decisions from the start, reducing unnecessary financial losses.
