More importantly, French said is avoiding damaging
the scope.
After use, the scope should be cleared of debris
and foreign substances, and the scope should always
be returned to its case, even between frequent uses.
" A common mistake that we see is people just
keep the scope out on the shelf because they want
to get to it quickly when they need it, but we strongly
recommend when you're done, store it in the case
that it came in. That probe is pretty fragile. We
don't want someone coming up and dumping their
toolbox on the probe and kinking or denting the
borescope probe. So clean it before you put it away
and put it away in the case that it came in, because
that's the best protection you give it, " French said.
Recon Pro
Designed and manufactured entirely in-house, the
Recon Pro is built to handle all standard visual
inspection applications, with its most notable feature
being its interchangeable probe system.
" All of the camera probes can change, can be
taken out, removed from the unit and new ones
can be replaced within the same unit so the same
unit becomes very versatile to deal with multiple
different camera capabilities, " explained Jared
Hartley, business development coordinator for
SPI Borescopes.
Camera capabilities include ultraviolet, infrared
and street viewing cameras, which face directly
ahead of the camera probe.
" We have 90-degree side view camera probes,
which face 90 degrees perpendicular to the end of
the camera cable. And then we also produce dualview
cameras. They have cameras both facing 90
degrees and straightforward that you can toggle
between to get a fuller view of the component that
you're inspecting, " added Hartley.
Recently, SPI added working channel
probes, which have a small working
channel tunnel going through the length
of the camera probe towards the end, which
we can then send retrieval tools through.
" There is a claw option, a lasso, multiple different
types of claws actually to retrieve small
components lost within an engine turbine, or nuts
and bolts that were dropped, " said Hartley.
The Recon features four different image enhancement
settings for navigating inspections in different
environments, such as for looking at bright or highly
