Videoscopes And Their Many Uses - Teslong

Learn about videoscopes or video borescopes and the many uses for them

Videoscopes, or video borescopes, are exceptional tools for performing inspections of things in areas and orientations that are difficult or impossible to see with your naked eye. A great example is using a video borescope to look inside the combustion chamber of a car by inserting it through the spark plug hole and examine if the valves appear to be seating properly. If you didn’t have an industrial videoscope, you have to perform significant engine disassembly in order to achieve the same level of inspection. The videoscope saves a great deal of time and work and ultimately saves the customer money.

What is a videoscope or videoborescope

A flexible videoscope or video borescope inspection camera is an advanced type of borescope video recorder that houses a very small image sensor embedded into the tip of the scope. The video image is relayed from the distal tip and focusable lens assembly back to the display via internal wiring. There are stand-alone portable videoscope cameras that include their own screen, battery, and memory storage, but there are also simpler videoscopes that relay the image to an app on your mobile device (see our endoscopes for Apple mobile devices and endoscopes for Android) or laptop computer, which are less expensive.

What types of projects can you use a videoscope for?

Videoscopes are typically used to identify problems in engines, in building behind walls, or in plumbing pipes - places that are not easily seen with the human eye. Also, let's not forget inside the barrel of a rifle. Videoscopes are used professionally to inspect aircraft, wind turbines, heavy equipment, automobiles and much more.

Is it better to rent or buy a videoscope?

You can find industrial videoscopes available in a range of prices starting with models that work via an app with your mobile for as low as $50. So at that price it doesn’t make any sense to rent, assuming that the videoscope can perform the job you need done. If you need to use a portable videoscope camera that is specialized for a specific application and you only need to use it once, like a pipe inspection camera, maybe then it makes better sense to rent the device or to hire a professional, like a plumber, who owns a plumbing videoscope and can do the work for you.

Applications of Videoscopes in Different Industries

Industrial videoscopes and videoscope systems are incredibly useful in industries ranging from automotive to building inspections. The flexible nature of these devices allows professionals to access hard-to-reach areas without requiring major disassembly. These tools are particularly valuable in:

  • Automotive videoscope inspections to check for engine issues, combustion chamber health, and more.

  • Videoscope inspection of mechanical equipment for maintenance purposes.

  • Flexible videoscopes used for monitoring inside pipes, ducts, and ventilation systems.

The Benefits of Articulation in Video Borescopes

July 22,

Over the last few years, video borescopes have quickly evolved with enhanced capabilities and special features designed to make inspections simpler and more thorough. As a product of this evolution, articulating videoscopes amass unique features that make them particularly beneficial.

Enables Access To Remote Areas

One of the benefits of articulation in video borescopes is their unique ability to access the most remote areas of an object that would be virtually impossible to reach otherwise. While most borescopes have similar capabilities, videoscopes are unique because their camera heads can be significantly smaller than the standard heads you’d see on their counterparts.

Because the industries that use borescopes for inspection often deal with objects with a minuscule access point that opens to a larger cavity, having an articulating video borescope with a smaller camera head is beneficial to successful inspections.  

Ensures More Thorough Inspections of Internal Surface Areas 

Articulating videoscopes are also known for their enhanced flexibility, which makes them easier to control. For example, the rod on a videoscope is multi-jointed, meaning it can point in various directions, rather than only a few. This feature is probably one of the primary advantages of articulation in video scopes. In addition, it allows inspectors to examine an object’s entire internal surface area, ensuring that their findings are as thorough and accurate as possible.

Allows Inspectors To Track and Record Inspections Easily

Along with their multi-jointed rods and smaller camera heads, articulating videoscopes also tend to have a more versatile range of special features. Particularly effective for users are the Wi-Fi and wireless capabilities that some video borescopes offer. This feature is especially appealing to inspectors and industry professionals because it allows them to keep an updated, video and image-based record of all their inspections. When inspectors have a strong point of reference for all the work they’ve done, they can use it to do their jobs more efficiently.

The benefits of articulation in video borescopes are various and far-reaching. So, learning about how these fantastic tools have revolutionized numerous industries can help you understand how such a tool might be useful in your line of work.
