Advantage of 180° Articulating Video Borescopes
There many advantage that articulating video borescopes offer.
Most RALCAM applications have small, limited entrance that open into a much larger space. That is why having an articulating video borescopes is good for completing internal inspection without missing dead corner.
However, not all applications require articulation. Some inspection applications have narrow diameters through the whole internal chambers, leaving little to no room for articulation. The most common of these applications is a gun barrel inspection, where a straight probe would be a more capable tool (even cost effective tool) to finish the job.
When using remote video borescope to internal cracks, articulating video borescopes is vital to guaranteeing that the full internal surface area is carefully examined.
Like riding a scooter without being able to swing your head right to left, to head down and check your speed meter, or up to mind traffic signs. That similarity is alike to using a non-articulating borescope to examine internal parts. Inspections done with non-articulating borescopes can lead to many details being ignored, some of which can cause unsafe or risk situations.
F405S-A
With advanced articulating video borescopes like the F405S-B, F405S-A, F408S-B, F408S-A, F408S-D video borescope, full internal inspections are accomplished with efficiency and the sureness that comes with being able to check all angles of internal cracks. When RALCAM cameras do not have to be repeatedly manipulate with the purpose of complete inspections, NDT technicians can safe valuable working time.
