Videoscopes

Video endoscopes are optical devices consisting of a system unit, probe with the video chip and monitor or eyepieces. The devices are used for diagnostics of mechanisms located in hard-to-reach places. For example, with the help of such tool you can examine the cylinder- piston group of the car without preliminary dismounting of the unit. A wide viewing angle of the device allows to get a full picture of the unit condition, and built-in lighting allows to see even small defects. The products made for car repair are characterized by resistance to petrol, oil and other aggressive fluids.

Types of video endoscopes

By the probe type:

• flexible (for examining the components with complicated structure);
• hard (for units with direct access).

Diameter of probes varies. In most cases there are products with this index from 3.9 to 20 mm. Also they differ by the length. The most common devices are from 1 to 30 metres. Their viewing angle can be from 55° to 120°.

Also devices differ by the picture transmitting method:

• Fiberglass. Inspection is performed through the pipe where the lens, lighting source and fibre-optic cable which transmit a picture to the eyepiece are located.
• Digital. A picture is transmitted through the camera lens to the CCD matrix, then – via the cable to the system unit and then is displayed. Some models have additional functions, for example, taking photos or recording information to the flash-card.

Tips on video endoscopes use

1. Don’t make much efforts when inserting the tool working part into the examined unit. Make sure the probe is not jammed. If it runs into obstacles or moves with effort, you should stop inserting.
2. Clean the device after every use in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
