Rigid Sleeve

Rigid Sleeve (MAJ-1737/ MAJ-1253)

MAJ-1253 (for 6.0 mm insertion tube)
MAJ-1737
(for 4.0 mm insertion tube)
Sets are available for 6.0 mm and 4.0 mm scopes. Each set consists of three rigid sleeves of 250 mm, 340 mm and 450 mm lengths.

Handheld Controller Holder

Handheld Controller Holder (MB-937)

MB-937
Allows the controller to be affixed to a tripod, making it useful for prolonged inspections.

Centering Device Set

Centering Device Set

MAJ-1935 (for 8.5 mm insertion tube)
The Centering Device Set allows you to center the scope inside a pipe by attaching it to the scope distal end. The set consists of two devices in 75 mm and 140 mm finger lengths.

Guide Tube for 6.0mm diameter Long Scope

Guide Tube for 6.0mm diameter Long Scope

MAJ-1824-75 (for IV8675)
Protects the scope and assists in smooth entry when inserting it into a wide pipe.

High Temperature Guide Tube

High Temperature Guide Tube

MAJ-1867 (for 4mm insertion tube)
The High Temperature Guide Tube is able to operate at temperatures up to 250 ℃ (482 F), which makes it ideally suited for inspections of hot aircraft engines, boilers, and furnaces. The benefit of utilizing this guide tube is that inspections can start at a higher temperature, thereby reducing the waiting time for the inspected area to cool down.

Weighing only 2.7kg, the industrial videoscope IPLEX LX/LT combines overwhelming portability and reliability with advanced features - achieves best balance between ease-of-use and performance.

Convenient Portability

Equipped with a removable Li-ion battery, the IPLEX LX and LT are ready for use wherever the inspection takes place. Whether the operator is crawling in confined spaces or working stationary in an aircraft hangar, the IPLEX LX and LT keep the size small without sacrificing features or functionality.

Compact and Lightweight

The IPLEX LX and LT weigh just 2.7 kg, including the two-hour running time Li-ion battery.They can be worn or carried with ease and set up almost instantly. The complete system, including all accessories and carrying case, is easily transported to job sites and small enough to fit in the overhead compartment of most aircraft.

Small Size, Large Monitor

Small Size, Large Monitor

Despite being only 227 mm (8.9 in.) wide and 189 mm (7.4 in.) tall, the IPLEX LX and LT integrate a surprisingly large 6.5 in. monitor for exceptional visibility, whether at arm's length or across a workbench. At less than 100 mm thick including the pivoting handle/stand, the IPLEX LX and LT can be worn, stand upright, or be fastened to a tripod or mounting arm for operation in practically any environments.

Unsurpassed Ease of Use

With their intuitive icon-based menu system, the IPLEX LX and LT require minimal or no training and can be easily operated by users of any experience level. Almost every menu and feature can be accessed by a maximum of three presses on the quick-access control buttons. And the TrueFeelTM scope tip articulation achieves easy and precise control.

Choice of Connection and Positioning

The handheld controller can be operated either independently or attached to the main unit during inspections, offering a versatile choice of operation. The stand-alone monitor can always be positioned for optimum viewing and is also convenient for group inspections and training.

Innovative Features at Operator Fingertips

The ergonomic lightweight handset with TrueFeelTM articulation control has been engineered for comfortable operation even during prolonged inspections. The user can operate diverse functions and scope tip articulations easily, quickly, and precisely.

One-handed scope control and interface

One-handed scope control and interface

The controller maximizes the use of buttons, levers, and joystick for quick access to all essential menu functions. Image enhancements, recording buttons, and measurement capabilities are among the many basic-to-advanced features at the operator's fingertips.

Expanded scope lineup

Expanded scope lineup

The IPLEX LX and LT offer a range of scopes, allowing you to choose the right one to fit the job. Scopes are available in diameters of 4.0 mm, 6.0 mm and 8.5mm, and in various lengths ranging from 2 m to 20 m.

Intuitive Icon-Based Menus

Intuitive Icon-Based Menus

The IPLEX LX and LT feature a simple menu, utilizing intuitive, internationally recognized icons that make it easy for the operator to quickly choose the right menu option. Navigation is simplified by a dedicated joystick, which functions independently from the scope tip articulation.

Rugged Durability

The durability and environmental resistance of the IPLEX LX and LT provides exceptional reliability even in the harshest environments. Whether you're conducting inspections outdoors in a variety of weather conditions, in a dusty or sandy climate, or in manufacturing areas, you can depend on the IPLEX LX and LT to function reliably in any surroundings.

All Weather Resistance

All Weather Resistance

You can confidently bring the IPLEX LX and LT to almost any difficult environment. They can be used in rain, sand, and dust, and withstand physical shocks caused by drops and falls, ensured by IP55 and MIL-STD compliance. With its low-reflection display, the daylight-view monitor reproduces clear, vivid images even under the brightest sunlight.

Impervious to Environmental Hazards

Impervious to Environmental Hazards

Complying with internationally recognized military standards (MIL-STD-810F/G and MIL-STD-461F)*, the IPLEX LX and LT pass a wide variety of environmental hazard tests, including blowing rain, humidity, salt fog, sand and dust, icing/freezing rain, and explosive atmosphere. They also withstand rough treatment such as vibration and being dropped from heights up to 1.2 m(3.9 ft).
*Reference page 15 for MIL-STD compliance details

Resistance to High Temperatures and Abrasion

The insertion tubes of the IPLEX LX** withstand temperatures up to 100 ºC (212 ゚F). A high-temperature sensor cautions an audible beep and displays a visual warning if the scope is in danger of becoming overheated.
** The IPLEX LX IV88 series withstands temperatures up to 80 ºC (176 °F).

The crush-proof insertion tube

The crash-proof insertion tube

The crush-proof insertion tubes of the IPLEX LX and LT are equipped with an innovative fine mesh tungsten outer braid that results in outstanding abrasion resistance.The tube's strength combined with its flexibility allows operation in the most difficult and hazardous inspection areas.
The IPLEX LX and LT are designed with the unique Tapered FlexTM achieving superb scope maneuverability with optimized stiffness and flexibility. In addition, the increased stiffness of the new 8.5 mm scope allows it to be easily pushed deep into an inspection area without the use of a guide tube, making it ideal for long pipe inspections.

Viewing Capability

Building on decades of experience in optical imaging, the innovative IPLEX LX and LT design provides superb image quality of inspected objects.

Excellent color reproduction and superb clarity

Excellent colour reproduction and superb clarity

The industry-leading 6.5 in. daylight-view monitor is larger than comparable videoscopes on the market, always allowing for a comfortable viewing position and convenience for group viewing. Superb image clarity permits the accurate detection of very small defects.

Clear, Crisp Images

The IPLEX LX features our unique image processing capability, WiDERTM (Wide Dynamic Extended Range). This innovative technology brings out detail in shadowed and highlighted areas to produce bright, contrast-balanced images across the entire depth of field.

Ultra-Bright, Interchangeable LED Tip adapters

For optimum magnification and direction suitable for a variety of inspection environments, the IPLEX LX and LT offer a comprehensive range of interchangeable optical adaptors.

Accurate Measurement on the First Try

Accurate Measurement on the First Try

The measurement accuracy of a videoscope generally depends on the scope's distance from the target. Our unique Spot-RangingTM feature, the industry's only real-time tip-to-target distance measurement tool, navigates the scope tip to the optimum distance from a target. The operator can then easily determine whether the tip is close enough to calculate the most accurate measurement on the first try.

Foreign Object Retrieval* NEW

Foreign object retrieval

Adding to the array of versatile IPLEX LX benefits is a new 6.2 mm diameter scope featuring an internal working channel. Six retrieval tools allow you to remove foreign objects from inside inspection areas - ideal for helping avoid costly overhauls - and perform hook and drag inspections in engines. Both forward and side view Stereo Measurement tip adaptors are also available with the working channel scope, providing a complete inspection solution.
*Available only in the USA and Japan.
