Remote Visual Inspection (RVI) has many applications within the automotive industry, especially in areas such as research & development, manufacturing and customer service. Olympus equipment provides solutions by allowing internal inspection of engine castings, cylinder bores, gearboxes, body shells and finished vehicles, from state-of-the-art racing cars to earth moving equipment. | Investigation of a variety of problems without teardown is possible with RVI, including checking internal component condition for carbon deposits and wear, pinpointing sources of unwanted noise, identifying corrosion and confirming component failure.

Both rigid and flexible instruments can be used cost-effectively in automotive applications, even at the service depot level, where the Olympus Automotive Borescope System offers a low-cost solution to many repetitive inspection tasks, often allowing fault diagnosis prior to teardown.
If records of inspections are required, still and CCTV photographic equipment can be used with all Olympus Industrial instruments, and if further analysis is required, digital image recording and processing is also possible. |
