For challenging inspections that require a small borescope, the IPLEX G Lite industrial videoscope packs powerful imaging capabilities into a small, rugged body. Lightweight and able to go almost anywhere, this remote visual inspection tool equips users with the image quality and ease of use to get the job done.
If you’re inspecting in the cramped quarters of a wind tower nacelle, the wind version of the IPLEX G Lite videoscope packs portability and powerful imaging features into a small body to make your job easier.
The ergonomically designed, compact videoscope can be carried to almost any job site and used comfortably.
Lightweight: The IPLEX G Lite videoscope weighs only 1.15 kg (2.5 lb), and the IPLEX G Lite-W videoscope weighs only 1.16 kg (2.6 lb)
Durable: Small but tough, the IPLEX G Lite/IPLEX G Lite-W videoscope is designed to meet IP65 standards and built to pass U.S. Department of Defense testing (MIL-STD)
Choose the right scope for the job: Select from scopes measuring 2 m and 3.5 m long (4 mm/6 mm) and 10 m long (6 mm only)
Made to travel: The compact videoscope and its accessories fit neatly in a lightweight travel case small enough to fit under an airplane seat

True to Your Image
If you’re tired of sacrificing portability for high-quality images, stop. The IPLEX G Lite and IPLEX G Lite-W compact videoscopes pack many of the imaging features found on our larger videoscopes into a small, highly portable instrument.
Bright illumination, reduced noise: The LED light source is twice as bright as the one on the predecessor model (IPLEX UltraLite); along with the new noise reduction algorithm, the compact videoscope helps you locate problems and defects in dark areas
60 frames per second (fps) video: Capture smooth videos with the videoscope’s high frame rate; if you are recording a moving object, you can obtain clear videos with no stutter
Flexible UV and IR lighting options: Detect invisible hairline cracks using ultraviolet (UV) illumination, and view objects in dark area using infrared (IR) illumination; the interchangeable LED light source expands the capabilities of the videoscope*
Powerful measurement at the touch of your finger: The compact videoscope is equipped with scalar measurement as a standard feature, enabling you to size objects using a reference defect; for more advanced functionality, upgrade to the stereo measurement option to size objects using precise three-dimensional coordinates
*IPLEX G Lite only
Fast and Easy
The small videoscope combines ergonomics and ruggedness with thoughtful features that help make your inspections fast and efficient.
Responsive joystick, precise movements: Responsive TrueFeel articulation enables you to control the scope’s tip with precise movement so that you can navigate to your target area quickly
Record still images and video simultaneously: With the push of a button, you can capture still images while recording a video
Bookmark: Add bookmarks to save time during video reviews and find critical moments quickly
Constant video: Never lose critical inspection recordings; the small videoscope automatically records the last 30 minutes of your inspection even if you forget to press the record button
Stream inspection images: By using the recommended USB wireless LAN adapter, images can be shared with colleagues using a tablet during the inspection; this makes it easier to diagnose problems with the help of other inspectors
Better Wind Turbine Inspection
The IPLEX G Lite-W videoscope, the wind version of the IPLEX G Lite has features designed specifically for wind tower inspection, such as:
A sealed, oil-clearing tip adapter to see more clearly in oily environments
Optics designed for wind tower gearbox inspections
4 mm scope to fit into tight spaces
Bright LED guide tube*
Oil-resistant insertion tube coating, making it easy to clean
*Optional
Finish Inspections Faster
The compact videoscope has a sealed, oil-clearing tip adapter that enables you to see more clearly in oily environments, like a gearbox. The sealed tip keeps oil from penetrating into the adapter, while the channels on the oil-clearing tip use capillary action to draw oil away from the lens. Now you can spend less time removing the scope to clean oil off the tip for faster inspections.
Designed to meet IP65 standards and built to pass U.S. Department of Defense testing (MIL-STD), the IPLEX G Lite-W videoscope is up to the challenge of working at height in a wind tower nacelle for maximum uptime. The insertion tube’s durable articulation mechanism helps protect the scope when inserting it in tight spaces where it can be easily damaged.
Tailored for Wind Turbine Inspections
The IPLEX G Lite-W videoscope has specially designed optics that balance the need to view areas of the wind turbine up close, such as bearings and gear teeth, and look for defects in large spaces—all while being small enough to fit into the space between the turbine’s bearings to look for damage.
The optional LED guide tube is engineered for wind turbine inspection. Its ample illumination enables you to spot defects faster in large, dark spaces—like a gearbox—reducing the time needed to obtain good images. When you have tomaneuver, the semiflexible guide tube makes it easier for you to position it where you want to capture the images you need. Using just one hand, you can easily control the 4 mm scope and maneuver it to view difficult-to-reach areas of the
gearbox.
Easy to Carry, Easy to Clean
Weighing only 1.16 kg (2.56 lb), the compact and small IPLEX G Lite-W videoscope is easy to transport to challenging locations, like the top of the nacelle. Using a commercially available magnetic hook and arm, you can position both the main unit and scope where it’s the most convenient. The ergonomic, handheld design and responsive touch screen enable you to use and control the videoscope while wearing gloves in the narrow confines of a nacelle.
The scope’s smooth oil-resistant coating makes cleaning the videoscope simple. Even if oil has adhered to the insertion tube, it easily wipes off using a clean cloth, so you can pack up and get back to the office faster.
