High Temperature Guide Tube Model MAJ-1867

This accessory guide tube is designed to minimize the temperature restrictions placed on standard videoscopes for gas turbine and other applications where high temperature inspection capabilities may be required.

-Videoscope operation up to 250 degree C (482 F) (*1)
To prevent videoscope damage, often times a cool down period is required after the shut down of engines, boilers and furnaces in order to reduce the internal temperature below 100 degrees C (212 F). The high temperature guide tube accessory however, increases this maximum temperature on the IPLEX LX / FX videoscopes to 250 degrees C (482 F) so this cool down period can be dramatically shortened or even eliminated. This allows inspections of these critical components sooner as well as the ability to inspect areas whose ambient temperatures exceed the 100 degree C (212 F) maximum of the standard videoscope.

-Highly flexible construction
Despite the added temperature protection the high temperature guide tube provides, there is minimal impact the flexibility of the insertion tube and its ability to maneuver through a bent path to the point of inspection. Furthermore, added precautions are taken to ensure the articulation of the videoscope is not compromised due to the addition of the guide tube.

-6.1 mm outer diameter to suitable for aviation gas turbine inspections
The high temperature guide tube, when added to the 4mm diameter IPLEX FX or LX, makes a final outside diameter of just 6.1mm. This makes the system suitable for most standard 6mm videoscope inspections with the added capability of high temperature resistance to tackle applications such as hot aircraft engine inspections.

-Compressed air cooling system
Utilizing a compressed air cooling system, the high temperature guide tube is significantly lighter and less complex as compared to water circulation based systems. Inspectors of any skill level can easily set up and operate the system.

(*1) Under specific conditions. Olympus does not guarantee perfect functionality in all cases for this temperature range as conditions and product operation can vary. Please contact Olympus for further information.

(*2) Internal inspection area temperature must be < 250 degrees C (482 F)

Polished Pipe Surface Inspection System

Easy to operate, PC based visual inspection system, used for detecting small defects in highly polished pipes.

-Various Pipe Diameters Can be Applied
Through the use of interchangeable centering devices, the system is able to inspect pipes ranging from 70mm (2.75") to 330mm (13.0") in inner diameter.

-Reflection Free Visual Inspection is Achieved
Utilizing a unique indirect lighting system, the system is able to inspect highly polished metallic pipes and produce reflection free images.

-Easy Operation with a PC
Full system control is achieved via the PC allowing the operator to perform tasks such as viewing the live image, rotating the camera head and capturing still images.

-Real Time Camera Head Position Display
Camera head positional information is also displayed on the PC with the live image showing the rotational direction as well as position of the camera.

Active Guide Tube for Industrial Videoscopes:

Industrial videoscopes are a great resource for rescue personnel working to assess conditions and find people alive inside collapsed buildings or other wreckage caused by disasters. Normally, the flexible scope can be pushed and navigated through a small opening to the inspection area but sometimes a rough surface or obstacle may prevent further movement. For that reason, Olympus developed a new scope that is capable of propelling itself forward. This new scope, the Active Guide Tube, improves its ability to get into hard-to-reach areas and enhances the chances to find survivors.

*This product's design is based on the collaborative research and development by Tohoku University, NPO International Rescue System Institute, and Olympus Corporation.

Concept

The Active Guide Tube has hard plastic cilia, like toothbrush bristles, covering the surface of a flexible scope. Mounted on the scope is a very small motor that applies continuous high-speed vibrations that tilts and flexes the cilia. This ongoing tilting and flexing to their original shape of the cilia creates a force that moves the scope forward a small distance*.
Designed to work in conjunction with the highly portable IPLEX FX videoscope system, the active guide tube is a valuable accessory which provides improved scope operation and maneuverability.

* Performance of Self-propulsion may vary depending on the conditions of environment.

Search and Rescue Scope Kits:

Enables quick inspections inside collapsed structures with these rugged, battery-operated emergency response kits. A thermo sensor, sound collecting microphone and air supply tube are equipped to search and rescue victims. (USA & Asian markets only)

Videoscope for Dye Penetrant Inspection:

The combination of an IPLEX videoscope and UV light source achieves detection of minute defects hidden in deeper areas by dye penetrant inspection technique.

4-way Articulating Guide Tube:

Provides a second movable joint to be mounted to an industrial fiberscope or videoscope for inspecting objects in complicated shapes. Provides an outer guide tube for use with fiberscopes and videoscopes to allow an additional articulation section for complex access routes and increased bend profiles.

Harsh Environmental Resistance Tubes:

Enables inspections in various harsh environments like high temperature and special chemicals to protect fiberscopes or videoscopes.
