RVI is the inspection of objects or areas usually inaccessible to the eye without
disassembling surrounding structures or machinery. It allows inspectors to discover
hidden defects before they cause major problems. RVI makes it possible to inspect
otherwise difficult-to-reach areas, such as inside turbine and piston engines, pipes,
airframes, tanks, vessels and other voids, including behind walls and into air conditioning
ducts.
Olympus videoscopes, fiberscopes, and borescopes penetrate remote places through
small openings and send images directly back to the observer or to a video monitor.
Videoscopes have a tiny TV camera mounted in the objective tip of a flexible probe,
and utilize a fiberoptic light guide to illuminate the area being inspected. In
flexible fiberscopes, the image is relayed through a fiberoptic image bundle, with
illumination supplied by a fiberoptic light guide. Rigid borescopes combine fiberoptics
and optical lenses, with illumination being supplied through a fiberoptic light
guide and the image being relayed through a miniature lens system. Olympus videoscopes,
fiberscopes and borescopes are available in a variety of diameters, lengths and
optical specifications, to suit virtually every inspection task.
Olympus image management systems utilize advanced digital imaging techniques to
expand the capabilities of these instruments beyond visual inspection to complete
image management. Video inspections and advanced image management functions may
be performed using either a videoscope, or a borescope/fiberscope coupled to a video
camera.
A comprehensive range of light sources, adapters, video & photographic systems,
and other RVI accessories are available from Olympus Industrial, all system-designed
and engineered to provide cost-effective solutions to inspection problems in every
industry around the world.
