(AIT: Melbourne, FL) -- Advanced Inspection Technologies Inc. (AIT) introduces a new line of flexible micro borescopes that are incredibly thin. The new micro borescopes can inspect the interior of castings, machined parts, turbine components, and other parts that were previously impossible to inspect. In addition to the availability of small diameters of 0.35 to 3.8 mm the micro borescopes are flexible. Rigid micro borescopes are limited by the ability to only inspect in areas with a straight pathway for access, while flexible micro borescopes allow inspectors to snake through passage ways and turn corners to view areas that were previously inaccessible.
“The new micro borescopes are so thin that they are nearly the size of a human hair,” says Paul Fitzgerald, president and CEO of Advanced Inspection Technologies. A human hair is only 0.1 mm in diameter, so you would only need three and a half to equal the size of the smallest micro borescope.
Micro borescopes are commonly used to examine inside the smallest bores, tubes, channels, and accesses on a variety of castings, machined parts, turbine blades or vanes, and other manufacturing components where the strictest quality control is essential. Micro borescopes view into these tight spaces to look for debris, burrs, cracking, corrosion, blockage, and a many other defects.
The flexible micro borescopes are capable of the highest resolution images possible. The super thin flexible borescopes are constructed from an advanced quartz image bundle, allowing for incredibly high resolution in the small diameter scopes. The number of pixels in the micro borescopes can be as high as 30,000 depending on the diameter.
The flexible micro borescopes from AIT are compatible with standard light sources and video systems. This allows manufacturers that have existing borescope cameras and light sources to use the new small diameter flexible micro borescopes with their existing equipment.
