Olympus Fiberscopes - Standard range - 6, 8 and 11mm diameter
|
Flexible fiberscopes allow remote visual inspection to be carried out in areas where the route to the area of interest includes negotiating a series of bends or where the length of instrument required is outside the limits of a rigid borescope.
The construction of an Olympus fiberscope is a specialized process, requiring a combination of advanced optical and mechanical technologies, resulting in a finished product with many high performance design features: |
|
 |
Interchangeable optical tip adaptors. The focus of the optical system is fixed, however, each inspection has different requirements with regard to depth of field and direction of view. For this reason, all standard model fiberscopes have interchangeable optical tip adaptors to provide versatility and are available in direct or side viewing configuration - just select the tip adaptor most suitable for the application. Separately, a diopter focus compensates for the individual’s eyesight.
|
Image size. The Olympus image size is larger than most other fiberscopes. Due to the optical quality, the image of an Olympus fiberscope can be magnifed and maintain a high resolution image.
Tapered Flexibility. This feature provides graduated flexibility along the length of the insertion tube, making the insertion tube more flexible towards the distal end. |
|
 |
Four layer insertion tube. The construction of the insertion tube (the part of the instrument inserted into the application area) is especially important to ensure reliability and durability, but without compromising flexibility. Olympus have excelled in this area, creating a design of four individual layers which together protect the internal components and provide fluid resistance.
Four-way angulation. All models feature four-way angulation of the distal end, which aids insertion and maneuverability and helps to ’steer’ the tip towards the inspection area.
The Series 5 range of industrial fiberscopes is available in a variety of diameters and working lengths. All instruments feature an eyepiece which allows compatibility with a range of CCTV and Photographic adaptors so that the image normally seen through the eyepiece can be recorded for future reference and reporting.
The table below shows the fiberscopes and optical tip adaptors available with their specification:
