Remote Visual Inspection (RVI) Solutions
RVI is a cost-eective inspection technique used to capture real-time views and images from inside voids such as tubes, pipes,
machines, engines and enclosed structures. RVI can be a complementary technique to other NDT disciplines and is frequently
used as the primary inspection method.
Rigid borescopes
Detect irregularities in castings, ensure
the structural integrity of an aircraft
engine or take a quick look in an applica-
tion with "straight line" access—nothing
gets by the exceptional clarity and high
precision optics of our rigid borescopes.
Our scopes are very durable with
all-metal construction and a triple tube
shaft design built to withstand harsh
environments.
Flexible berscopes
Our line of berscopes range from
8.0 mm to 1.5 mm diameter for fast
access in the smallest areas. Featur-
ing high-resolution image bundles and
durable tungsten jacket construction,
these simple inspection devices provide
a window into otherwise inaccessible
locations.
Video borescopes
We oer an array of technologically
advanced video borescopes, from the
most portable to the most capable—all
designed for ease of use while delivering
video images of unsurpassed quality.
Distinguished by an intuitive, patented
joystick and one-handed operation,
these systems feature integrated LCD
video and a variety of imaging and
measurement options. Video
borescopes, like our XL Go+, are
engineered for durability and available in
many diameters and lengths.
Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) cameras
GE has a full range of rugged industrial
PTZ cameras for remote viewing in large
areas. They feature three interchange-
able zoom camera head diameters
with high-intensity lighting, pan-and-tilt
mechanisms and industrial waterproof
packaging for protection from extreme
environments.
Menu Directed Inspection
Menu Directed Inspection (MDI) is one
the rst software tools to standardize the
inspection process in the NDT indus-
try. An XLG3™ or XL Go+ VideoProbe®
system operating MDI software helps
guide inspectors through the inspection
process, intelligently auto-generates
reports and organizes inspection results,
decreasing reporting time up to 70%,
improving quality and increasing pro-
ductivity.
3D Phase Measurement
Now available with the XLG3 Video Bore-
scope, 3D Phase Measurement provides
accurate 3 dimensional surface scans
allowing measurement of all aspects of
surface indications. Inspectors can view
and measure a defect using a single
probe tip, eliminating the extra steps
required to back out, change the tip
and then relocate the defect. In eect,
the 3D Phase Measurement provides
accurate measurement "on-demand"
while simplifying the inspection process.
Prole View is a cross section view of a
portion of the surface. With Prole View,
the inspector can rotate and zoom to get
a more accurate view of the defect. The
ability to better visualize the shape and
characteristics of an indication allows for
well-informed decision of serviceability
of the asset.
