A new Portable Videoscope System (photo) is designed to meet the demands of the industrial inspection environment, with a self-contained system that combines state-of-the-art video technology, cordless operation, compact portability and rugged durability at an affordable price. The Portable Videoscope System is well suited for inspection of bridges, drill pipes, turbines, airframes, power generation equipment, process tanks and vessels, tubing and pipes, heat exchangers and hydraulic cylinders and other locations that are difficult to reach. The system offers a choice between a miniature, waterproof, 1-in. dia., removable, 120 deg field-of-view, color CCD (charge-coupled device) camera head with built-in, bright LED lighting or a waterproof, 1.5-in. dia., removable, 360-deg pan and 180-deg tiltable, color CCD camera head with built-in, bright LED lighting. Mounted to the end of a flexible, retractable push rod, the system’s camera can easily negotiate 90-deg bends and inspect lengths up to 98 ft. — Lenox Instrument Co., Trevose, Pa.
