XL Go+™ Videoprobe®

XL Go+™ Videoprobe® Code: xlgo-plus



***NEW PRODUCT***

The XL Go+TM delivers increased probability of detection with new XpertSuiteTM features.

The XL Go+™ Videoprobe® is still one the most portable and versatile video borescope on the market today and—with new XpertSuite™ features like enhanced steering responsiveness, improved probe light output, a sunlight readable LCD and optional external monitor—provides you with the best possible quality of defect information. With the XL Go+ you can make better decisions through better defect detection.

Offering a wide spectrum of features designed to make inspections easier, the XL Go+ VideoProbe system provides superior portability, image quality and ruggedness. It’s like having an extra set of eyes so you can quickly obtain the defect information you need.

XpertSuite™ Improves Probability of Detection
XL Go+ has a host of new features designed to help increase the probability of detection. XpertSuite complements the Go's superior image quality to provide enhanced performance to assist in locating and measuring defects.

XpertVision™ External Monitor

An optional battery-operated monitor supplements the XL Go+ system. The monitor easily connects to the Go and provides additional viewing by a second inspector or remote observation.

XpertBright™ Readable LCDs
Both the XL Go+ and the XpertVision LCDs are designed for maximum readability in strong outdoor lighting, harsh factory lighting or snowy environments. XpertBright enables optimum viewing while enhancing image quality.
 

XpertSteer™ Probe Articulation
Coupled with Servomotor All-Way® articulation, XpertSteer offers quick, responsive steering. When you stop steering the probe stops moving - no more overshooting. A bump steering feature enables tight probe control. A small "bump" of the joystick moves the probe at a small increment for better defect visibility.
 

XpertLight™ Probe Illumination
Increased probe light output improves the image quality and the likelihood of a thorough inspection. The increase in light output also improves performance in larger area applications.

Portability Plus(+) Superior Image Quality

Whether you're climbing a 100 meter tower to inspect a wind turbine gearbox, crawling atop a refinery heat exchanger or creeping under a turbofan jet engine on a test stand, a portable video borescope is essential.

XL Go+ combines cordless operation with a host of features found in systems three times as large. Unlike other video borescopes, the XL Go+ has no bulky base unit, no backpacks, no tethered scopes or power cords to get in the way-ensuring unlimited inspection access and unprecedented ease of use.

XL Go+ doesn't sacrifice image quailty for portability. The XpertBright and XpertVision LCDs still provide superior image quality. In fact, the system's high-output white LED and crystal-clear VGA LCD's give inspectors the sharp, detailed images needed to ensure accurate inspections. An intuitive user interface makes it easy to save still images or record motion video to the internal flash memory or removable USB ThumbDrive.

 

 


Guided Inspection Software
Menu Directed Inspection® (MDI) 2.0 is a software tool that standardizes the inspection process in the NDT industry. An XLG3™ VideoProbe or XL Go™ VideoProbe® system operating MDI software helps guide inspectors through the inspection process, intelligently auto-generates a report, and organizes their inspection results saving time, improving quality and increasing productivity.

Benefits

  • Decrease reporting time up to 70%
  • Increase speed and ease of sharing data
  • Image and video files automatically named and annotated
  • Create consistency and reduce errors with guided inspections
  • Eliminate post inspection reporting with “click-to-report”
  • Export data compatible with Rhythm® software—a powerful NDT data management platform for centralizing and sharing your inspection data

 Military Rugged

The XL Go+ VideoProbe system is constructed to withstand the rigors of the industrial workplace. Shock absorbing materials and seals are strategically incorporated to resist impact damage and to prevent dust and water intrusion.

To ensure top performance in a wide range of environmental conditions, XL Go+ has been subjected to a battery of performance tests.
