IPLEX GX/GT: Function - Precise Movements

Precise Movements with a Light Touch

Responsive TrueFeel articulation enables you to control the scope’s tip with precise movement so that you can navigate to your target area quickly and stay in position with locking capability.

A light touch of the control helps minimize fatigue when working for long hours.

Convenient Controls

The large monitor leaves plenty of room to display both your inspection image and quick control buttons.  Most functions can be controlled using the touch screen, including the articulation.  If you want to use the full screen to view images, the hot keys on the controller give you control over the most important functions.

Smart Video Recording

Record still images and video simultaneously
With the push of a button, you can capture still images while recording a video without interruption.

Bookmark
Add bookmarks to save time and quickly find critical moments during video reviews.

Constant video*
Never lose critical inspection recordings. The videoscope automatically records the last 30 minutes of your inspection even if you forget to press the record button. *Available only with the IPLEX GX and requires an optional microSDHC card

Powerful Measurement at Your Fingertips

The 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.

Interchangeable Scopes and Light Sources

Modular Components Enable You to Adapt the Videoscpe to Your Inspection Tasks

Scopes are available in 4 mm and 6 mm diameters with lengths up to 10 meters (32 feet).  Interchangeable illumination modules also allow you to change between white LED, UV, or IR.

Scope unit

  • Scope diameter 6.0 mm:  length 2.0 / 3.5 / 7.5 / 10 m
  • Scope diameter 4.0 mm:  length 2.0 / 3.5 m

Light sources

  • White light (standard):  standard inspections
  • Ultraviolet (UV, optional):  detect hairline cracks
  • Infrared (IR, optional):  view objects in dark areas

The scopes and illumination modules can be changed on site quickly and easily, reducing downtime.

Tested Tough

Designed to meet IP65 standards for dust and water resistance and built to pass U.S. Department of Defense testing (MIL-STD) for protection against:

  • Drops of up to 1.2 meters (4 feet)
  • Vibration
  • Blowing rain
  • Dust
  • High humidity
  • Salt fog
  • Freezing rain
  • Electromagnetic environments
  • Explosive atmospheres

See Clearly in Oily Environments

See Clearly in Oily Environments

The grooves on the oil clearing tip adaptor use capillary action to draw oil away from the lens, keeping your images clear and visible so that you don't have to stop your inspection to wipe oil off of the scope’s lens.

  • Illuminated buttons for dark environments
  • High temperature alert
  • HDMI video out
