Breakthroughs in materials, electronics and manufacturing techniques have led to innovations that have greatly expanded the capabilities of borescopes.
Of all the various NDT disciplines, it is safe to say that remote visual inspection (RVI) is the one most widely used across all industries. While radiography and ultrasonic testing, for example, are essential in certain situations and applications, there is no real substitute for being able to visually inspect and monitor the condition of internal components.
Advancements in technology continue to enhance the capabilities of all areas of industrial quality and process control, and this is certainly the case within the various disciplines of nondestructive testing (NDT).
Titan Tool Supply, Inc., Buffalo, NY, has introduced a new fiberoptic illuminator that brings sustainability, performance, efficiency and convenience to users of illuminated borescopes and microscopes.
