Metal Part Inspection Process with Rigid Borescope
The key feature of rigid borescopes is a stiff insertion probe that allows you to access a bore in the direction you want and stay in a desirable position.
These scopes come in two main configurations: optical, which consists of an eyepiece, rod lens optics, and an external light source, and digital, which features a sensor at the tip of the insertion probe and a monitor to view and capture inspection data

RIGID BORESCOPES

Optical Rigid Borescopes

Our optical rigid borescopes are computer designed and utilize specially coated glass rod lenses to achieve the maximum clarity of the image. They are available in different lengths, diameters and directions of view. We supply a full range of accessories including light sources, cables, video couplers and cameras to capture inspections

Digital Rigid Borescopes

Rigid Videoscopes are more versatile and valuable inspection devices compared to optical borescopes as they have new CMOS technology and the ability to obtain and save high-resolution images/video and avoid any eye fatigue since there is no eyepiece for the operator to look through. Instead, the inspection site is viewed on a color monitor with extra valuable features you can use during the live inspection, including image/video capture, grid view, zoom, image rotation, etc

Rigid scope cameras

Our Rigid Borescopes are computer-designed and manufactured to comply with up-to-date standards of multiple industrial applications. They are exceptionally solid devices that combine a great price-value ratio with high performance. Optical rigid borescopes provide a significantly higher resolution image than flexible fiberscopes or even videoscopes due to the construction of their optical system, which transports the image directly to the eyepiece.

Their all-metal construction adds extra robustness and durability even in the most challenging conditions of industrial inspections. Rigid Borescopes are also considerably less expensive than, for example, videoscopes and cost less to repair.

The coated rod lenses of optical borescopes provide brilliant image quality with great contrast and brightness. The construction of the rigid borescope optical system guarantees a distortion-free image of the inspection area. Microfibers densely packed into a light channel provide excellent light delivery to the inspection area. All our optical rigid borescopes are dust, water, oil, gasoline, and diesel-proof, with all exterior elements well adjusted. These devices feature ACMI, STORZ, OLYMPUS, and WOLF light post connections and can be easily coupled with most light sources available on the market.

The rigid video insertion probes feature a CMOS chip and LED lights integrated at the tip that offer bright color images of the inspection area. All captured files are saved to a memory card and can be downloaded directly to a computer or laptop via a USB Cable or SD card. An optional video output jack transfers the image to a larger TV monitor, allowing you to discuss repairs and troubleshooting directly with customers.
The rigid probes' design is also waterproof and features anti-shock construction, increasing the ruggedness even more.

FAQ

What are Rigid Borescopes?

A Rigid Borescopes (also known as a rigid endoscope or rigid scope) is a specialized inspection tool that allows users to visually inspect hard-to-reach areas. It consists of a stiff insertion probe that can be inserted into a bore or other small opening and maneuvered to view the desired area. There are two main types of rigid borescopes: optical and digital.

What are the limitations of a Rigit Borescopes?

There are a few limitations to consider when using a rigid borescope:
  • Limited flexibility: Because the insertion probe is stiff, rigid borescopes are not as versatile as endoscopes and may not be able to access certain areas.
  • Higher cost: Rigid borescopes are, in some cases, more expensive than flexible fiberscopes or endoscopes.
  • Limited viewing angles: The viewing angle of a rigid borescope is determined by the design of the insertion probe, and may not be able to be changed once it is inserted into an opening.

How much does it cost to rent a rigid scope cameras?

The cost of renting a rigid borescope can vary depending on the model, length, and features of the camera, as well as the duration of the rental period. You can rent a rigid scope camera instead of buying one. This can be a good option if you only need the unit for a short period of time or if you're not sure which model is best suited to your needs. To find the best deal, leave a request or give us a call. We will find the best solution for your needs and budget.

Rigid borescope camera

Rigid borescopes, also known as rigid scope cameras or rigid endoscope cameras, are specialized tools used for inspection in a variety of industries, including aviation, diesel engine maintenance, and industrial manufacturing. They are designed for use in tight spaces and difficult-to-reach areas, and are available in a variety of lengths and diameters.

A borescope consists of a probe, or scope, which is inserted into the area to be inspected, a lens, and a light source at the other end, which allows the user to view the inside of the inspected area. The probe is typically made of direct glass rod lenses and can have either a forward or side viewing direction of view; this depends on the type of prism and optical cylinder used. The field of view of the lens can be adjusted to provide a broader or narrower view of the inspection area.
The probe of rigid borescope is rigid in nature, hence the name, and is not flexible, so the direction of view can't be changed during the inspection, unlike semi-rigid or flexible fiberscopes. Rigid borescopes are the highest resolution rigid borescopes and are available for even the most demanding inspections, with articulating options that provide more flexibility in the field of view.

Rigid borescopes are rugged and bright, making them ideal for use in harsh industrial environments where high image quality is essential. They can be used for both one-time and repetitive inspections, providing live footage of your inspection and allowing you to record inspection results.

There are a variety of systems available designed to meet the needs of different industries and applications. Browse our selection to find the right rigid borescope for your inspection needs. Rigid borescopes are the best option for dealing with straight and inaccessible areas where articulating fiberscopes won't work.
Rigid Borescope is one of the simplest methods to inspect tight spots in engines, turbines, aircraft parts, automobile parts, and metal castings. The unneeded cost of purchasing an articulating videoscope or a borescope camera can be avoided with a simple borescope that will perform the same or even have better quality since there is no processing involved.

Additional video adaptors are a common choice as they allow you to view live video of your inspection and record the inspection results, making it more convenient for technicians to go back and review the footage. Most rigid borescopes are rugged and are designed to last a long time in even the harshest industrial environments, providing high image quality and reliability. Rigid borescopes are a reliable solution for remote visual inspection in a variety of industries.
