Videoscopes
With innovative features, superior Olympus optics, and advanced image management functions, Series 6 videoscopes can greatly increase the efficiency and value of your RVI inspections. The 5mm-, 6mm- and 8mm-diameter Series 6 videoscopes feature Olympus' Tapered Flex™ design and provide the brightest, highest resolution images possible. Expand your insertion ability with a videoscope designed for ease of use and speed of inspection—the Olympus Series 6.

Features and Benefits
Simulview™ imaging allows inspectors to see direct- and side-view images simultaneously.

  • Direct view facilitates path finding, general observation, and location of defects
  • Side view allows close-up inspection of defects inside pipe walls and turbines
  • Quickly zoom from split-screen images to full-screen direct or side view without changing tips

Highly accurate 6mm and 8mm stereo measuring with special tip adapters.

  • Reliable "point-and-shoot" stereo measurement
  • Requires no calibrating or aligning with shadows
  • Stereo measurement provides highly accurate dimensions by simply marking points on the screen
  • Store, transfer images to a PC, and share information over e-mail via the DSM (Digital Store and Measure System)
  • Retrieves archived images and performs measurements point-to-point; line-to-point and plane-to-point, for measuring depth and height
  • Freeze-frame, live zoom with pan and enhance

Designed for ease of use and versatility-inspections are faster with better control.

  • Records audio clips with a built-in microphone
  • Portable, plug-and-play system case for easy field setup
  • Full-Way™ articulation tip dramatically increases bending angle for scans in any direction with sensitive, pinpoint fingertip control-precisely point the tip with no overshoot
  • Tight bending radius
  • Unique Tapered Flex™ design combines strength and flexibility for difficult-to-reach inspection sites-offering both the flexibility to bend around difficult areas but the firmness to be forced through without bunching up when pressure is applied during insertion
  • Take advantage of image management functions on a control pad built into the scope body to expand your inspection capabilities
  • Choose from a wide selection of optical tip adapters and a range of working lengths in 6mm-or 8mm-diameter videoscopes
  • Heavy-duty, fray-resistant tungsten braid enhances durability and protects the insertion tube-yet is light enough to avoid operator fatigue

IV-6A CCU

The IV-6A is a precise CCU for Series 6 and Series 5 videoscopes (when used with optional adapter) and the OTC-6 video camera attached to fiberscopes and borescopes. It features simple, push-button controls for live pan and zoom, brightness, freeze and store, plus a full range of image-management functions.

The IV-6A lets you measure defects with 6mm and 8mm stereo measurement tip adapters; record and playback audio annotations; and enhance, archive, compare, transmit and diagnose images. More accurate inspections can result in more efficient, cost-effective maintenance, quality control, defect analysis, and trend evaluation.

Accessories
Working Tools
Olympus offers a variety of working tools (compatible with interior or exterior working channels) that fit fiberscopes and videoscopes up to 25 feet long. Each tool is secured to the end of a flexible steel cable designed to resist kinking or twisting. The range of tools includes snares, magnets, alligator jaws, wire baskets, and forceps.

Mobile Video Workstation
Compact, rugged design saves you time—roll your remote visual inspection (RVI) equipment right up to the inspection site already connected and ready to work. Model MVW-2 has a swivel bracket for a TV monitor. Model MVW-2A supports the Digital Store and Measure System and all viewing and conversion adapters.

Turbine Kits
Olympus has designed borescopic inspection kits for turbine engines and other applications. Kit components (borescope, fiberscope or videoscope, guide tube, light source, etc.) are selected or engineered for a specific engine.

Portable Video Monitors
Compact LCD monitors with 4, 5, 6.4 and 10.4-inch screens (LCD head mount display offers one of the lightest, most compact video monitors available). CRT monitors in screen sizes from 8 to 20-inches (diagonal).

  • LCD Head Mount Display: Provides incredible freedom of movement and is one of the lightest and most compact video monitors available—it can be worn over a pair of eyeglasses. This configuration allows the inspector to see his surroundings with hands-free operation.
  • OVD-1 LCD Screen: A 10.4-inch diagonal LCD screen shows tiny details to speed inspections. The OVD-1 provides a large video display area, yet it is lightweight and easy to carry. The larger images allow you to see small details on the screen and complete inspections faster with less fatigue.
  • OVD-2 LCD Monitor: The portable, lightweight OVD-2 monitor features a large 6-inch diagonal display area. It can be mounted on the retractable arm in the system case and is engineered for high-speed response, high luminance and low reflection. The OVD-2 is also compatible with NTSC and features independent controls for brightness, hue, color and contrast.
  • OVD-2B LCD Monitor: This version of the OVD-2 can be mounted on the Series 6 Videoscopes, attached to the retractable arm in the ILV-C1 system case, or positioned on a tripod near the work site. It also has identical features to the OVD-2 above.
  • OVD-3 LCD Monitor: High resolution 6.4-inch LCD for optimum imaging on a portable display. Compatible with all Videoscopes, Fiberscopes, and borescopes.

Extension Cable Kits
Cable kits allow the scope to be used at distances away from the light source and CCU. They’re especially useful in areas that require the inspector to climb ladders or walk along narrow catwalks.

Peripherals

Olympus Industrial Light Sources are lightweight, portable and compact, providing the right illumination for a wide range of inspections.

Digital Store and Measure System (DSM) adds sophisticated computer technology to any Remote Visual Inspection system.

Guide Tubes Olympus guide tubes make insertion of flexible fiberscopes possible in difficult places (where there are obstructions or large gaps). A metal or plastic guide tube can be shaped to conform to the desired path and then put in place in the engine. The fiberscope can then be inserted in the tube and guided to position.

Pre-formed plastic tubes provide added protection for the insertion tube and increased stiffness for large pipe insertion. They are inserted with a straightening rod in place in the tube. When the rod is removed, the tube reverts to its pre-formed shape.

Articulating guide tubes have four-way tip articulation for added maneuverability. The patented model MD-999 is specifically designed for JT8D combustor inspection.
