What are the types of Articulating Endoscopes?
Before jumping into specifics, it helps to have a good working definition of the word articulating. Articulate, in this sense at least, means jointed – or consisting of segments united by joints. In a more practical sense, articulation is a feature that allows borescope operators to move the scope in a particular direction.
Articulating Endoscopes come in several varieties. One-way articulation allows users to bend the scope in one direction. Two-way articulation gives users the opportunity to bend to the left or to the right as needed. Four-way articulation offers even more flexibility, since the probe can be maneuvered up, down, to the left, or to the right. For total control over the head of the scope, joystick-style 360-degree articulation is key. Whether manual or driven by an electric motor, the steering for this kind of Articulating Endoscope is incredibly versatile.
Regardless of which type of Articulating Endoscope your project calls for, you’ll want to explore all of the available features. An articulating Wi-Fi borescope, for instance, makes it easy to save and share the footage you’ve captured over a wireless network. Bluetooth functionality also makes it simple to upload images to the cloud. Many articulating wireless video borescopes can even connect to your mobile device, allowing you to see what the scope captures on your phone.
