ADDITIONAL FEATURES
 

    

NEW DZ VIDEOPROBE configured with chest harness for "hands free" operation.

    

                 NEW DZ VIDEOPROBE completely battery operated, articulating                                 videoscope with light source.  Easy one handed articulation !

 

 

 

     

ForeEyes 2020, 6 or 8mm diamter DZ Series with articulation, spare objectives for 58 or 90 degree Field of View (FOV) as well as side looking (nearest to penny) and light source.

   

      

 

  

     

             DZ Videoprobe and ForeEyes 2020 are a perfect combination.

The DZ can be used on small diameter appplicatins such as this 1.5 inch diameter pipe as seen to the left.  When combined with articulation and high intensity light source, you can later play back videos, pause, fast forward or rewind the files and create offline digital pictures to archive or even send back to the unit itself for in the field comparisions.

 

6mm and 8mm Long are ideally

suited for furnace tube inspection !

      

                      ForeEyes Lite                                                             New 'HUD' Heads-Up-Display Option

By combining state of the art heads up display (HUD) with the ForeEyes 2020, you can now inspect all video applications by simply wearing the heads up display glasses; there is no need for holding an additional monitor.  Weighing only 12.9 Oz., the ForeEyes Lite is ideal for applications such as inspecting under vehicles, climbing ladders and any areas where a quick visual inspection is required. Images appear in front of your eyes equivalent to a 27 inch monitor at 6 feet away, all with 1/4 vga resolution. The operator can articulate the camera with the 18" articulating wand and turn on the lights to our waterproof ccd camera. The ForeEyes Lite can even be used with our popular articulating videoprobes (DZ series) ideal for jet engine inspection and difficult to reach or confided areas

2.4 mm - 8 mm FIBERSCOPES

 

FIBERSCOPE SYSTEMS BY DANATRONICS

Small Diameter Industrial Fiberscopes

Fiberscopes for discerning professional users who require high quality and dependable Remote Visual Inspection (RVI) equipment without overpaying for expensive brand names and unnecessary features.

Outstanding Image Clarity and Reliability !

Remote Visual Inspection applications often demand scopes that can be inserted through small access points to provide high quality images of difficult to reach areas.  These scopes also need to be capable of surviving the day-to-day rigors of the industrial working environment.  At first view, this combination of requirements seems like a tough order to fill, but the IT Concepts series of 2 mm to 8 mm industrial flexible Fiberscopes is up to the job.

0.4 mm - 2 mm FIBERSCOPES / BOROSCOPES
 

BORESCOPES & FIBERSCOPES BY ZIBRA

Optical superiority, ease of use and value distinguish the Milliscope family of microborescopes. A tradition of leadership and innovation makes Zibra the instrument of choice for industrial-grade inspections.
   

Rigid Shafts

The solid glass element inside a rigid MilliScope borescope transmits images without pixelating them. These high-grade instruments deliver maximum resolution through holes as narrow as 0.4 mm, and permit sharp focusing from the objective end.

Applications benefiting most from rigid borescopes are those that require the highest resolution with little flexure and straight insertion. The optical properties of the rigid MilliScope make it especially compatible with video microcameras.

 

Semi-rigid Shafts

The fiber optic image bundle inside a Semirigid MilliScope borescope transmits images pixel by pixel. The bundle is housed in a stiff tube, making the instrument more maneuverable than flexible scopes, yet more flexible and less prone to damage than rigid ones. And unlike rigids, a semirigid shaft can be made to any length and factory-formed to traverse unique part geometry's.

MilliScope SR’s high resolution image bundle transmits images with outstanding clarity and brightness. Insertion shafts as narrow as 0.4 mm diameter are available. Focal distance is factory-set to accommodate user need. Distal focus is optional, and allows dynamic adjustment of tip-to-target focal distance. Semirigids work well with video displays when properly coupled to a video microcamera..

 

Flexible Shafts

The flexible MilliFlex borescope uses a fiber optic image bundle to transmit images pixel by pixel. The bundle is wrapped in a flexible sheath, allowing it to travel through winding passages. Insertion shafts as narrow as 0.4 mm diameter are available.

The MilliFlex captures images of outstanding clarity and brightness. Bundles up to 50,000 pixels are available in virtually any length. Like MilliScope SR, MilliFlex’s focal distance is factory-set to accommodate user need. Distal focus is optional, and works best in applications without severe curves. Flexible scopes work well with video displays when properly coupled to a video microcamera.

 

Detachable-tip
Flexible & Rigid

MilliScope II is a detachable-tip borescope engineered for high-cycle inspections, and for procedures requiring numerous distal configurations. This modular instrument accepts dozens of available tips, allowing rapid replacement upon wear or breakage. New tips simply slide into place and fasten with a click.

Where several borescope configurations are required to inspect a single part or assembly, MilliScope II saves money and bench space. By swapping tips rather than scopes, an operator can keep the same video front-end for all inspection procedures.

The detachable-tip configuration is a natural choice for field work. Rather than carry several cases with several instruments, a field inspector can stow one MilliScope II and several tips in a single travel case.

MilliScope II accepts a ½-in. video Microcamera or eyepiece via a C-mount flange. An integral light guide swivels at the body for easy left- or right-hand operation. MilliScope II accepts a variety of light guide adapters, allowing it to interface with most light sources.

 

 

Hybrid Designs

A flexible, armored cable connects the MilliWand’s handheld probe to a direct video instrument body. The innovative design (shown below) separates bulky video and lighting equipment from dirty, crowded inspection areas, and is ideal for bench top work. Small and lightweight, the probe is highly maneuverable, improving navigation and reducing the risk of accidental tip damage. The probe tip may be semirigid or flexible. The cable connecting the probe to the instrument body is typically one meter in length.

FOVIScope (not shown) is a high-magnification (100X to 200X) needle borescope used to inspect fiber optic connectors. Versions are available with insertion shafts pointing forward and 90 degrees to the side. To improve field portability FOVIScope is generally packaged with a portable light source, battery belt, digital video recorder, LCD and/or heads-up display.

 

 

Optional Viewing Optics

Ocular Eye Piece

 

The integral eyepiece of an ocular scope is ideal for viewing images directly with the naked eye. To use an ocular scope with a camera, a camera-to-DIN eyepiece adapter is required.
   

Direct Video

 

Specify a direct video borescope if your application requires optimum video performance. Direct video borescopes have a flange that accepts a C-mount camera or eyepiece.
   

Microcamera

 

Specify a microcamera borescope if you perform video-based inspections and require a slim instrument profile. Microcamera scopes have internal threads that accept a standard 7mm, 12mm, or 17mm lipstick microcamera.
