HD imaging \u2013 a world first for GE\u2019s 3D measurement-enabled\u00a0video borescope<\/h3>\n

GE has answered the need for more efficient and\u00a0reliable internal inspections with the Mentor Visual \u00a0iQ VideoProbe\u2122 – field use and case studies show\u00a0it minimizes asset downtime with high-definition\u00a0(HD) technology. No other 3D measurement-enabled\u00a0video borescope on the market offers\u00a0you this capability.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Remote Visual Inspection (RVI) using borescopes\u00a0has become an essential Non-Destructive Testing\u00a0(NDT) method in industries such as aerospace,\u00a0power generation, and oil and gas. It allows you\u00a0to check the condition of components, welds and\u00a0material surfaces inside structures like engines, turbines,\u00a0combustion chambers and pipelines without\u00a0resorting to disassembly.<\/p>\n

Inspect in high definition<\/strong><\/p>\n

To date, progress toward realizing the full potential\u00a0of borescope devices has been held back largely\u00a0by their standard-definition (SD) image resolution.\u00a0GE\u2019s Mentor Visual iQ HD has overcome that barrier\u00a0with its 1.2MP (megapixel) CCD (charge-coupled\u00a0device) imager giving you a world-leading saved\u00a0image resolution of 1280 x 960 pixels.<\/p>\n

This, in turn, empowers the digital zoom to magnify\u00a0features without rapidly pixelating the view \u2013 a\u00a0problem which limits the zoom\u2019s value in SD borescopes.\u00a0When zoomed to 1.8X, the Mentor Visual\u00a0iQ HD still produces an SD quality image, and it\u00a0will carry on significantly further without noticeable\u00a0pixilation.<\/p>\n

Make better decisions, faster<\/strong><\/p>\n

HD visual inspection is part of a package of technological\u00a0and ergonomic advances which can\u00a0cut inspection time by about 25 percent (per Gas\u00a0Turbine Inspection Use Case 2018). Your inspection\u00a0productivity and efficiency will increase, and you\u00a0will benefit from the market\u2019s highest POD (probability\u00a0of detection) for indications such as pitting,\u00a0cracking and corrosion.<\/p>\n

The primary aim of these developments is to avoid\u00a0asset failure, with consequent losses due to damage\u00a0and downtime. Better imaging reduces your\u00a0risk of missing defects. Better POD means previous\u00a0inspections with poor visibility that led to taking an\u00a0assembly apart, are now much less likely, saving\u00a0countless working hours with increased inspection accuracy.\u00a0Time and accuracy play a fundamental role in an inspection,\u00a0simply translating to spiraling costs if you\u00a0do not have a device that allows you to deliver.<\/p>\n

The Mentor Visual iQ HD wins on all counts, as it\u00a0enables well-informed decisions to be made quickly\u00a0and confidently.<\/p>\n

Move up to the latest visual\u00a0and 3D measurement technology<\/strong><\/p>\n

Through GE\u2019s TrueSight\u2122 technology, the Mentor\u00a0Visual iQ brings you the advantages of HD visuals, a high-intensity light source and superior visual processing. Clearer, sharper videos and still images are obtained as a result. The optional phase tip allows you to view and take measurements at the same time, avoiding some of the time-consuming multiple optical tip changes required by other borescopes.<\/p>\n

High resolution also means you can make precise\u00a0measurements at longer distances. This expands\u00a0the maximum scanning and measurement area, enhances\u00a0POD, and minimizes \u2018noise\u2019 in the 3D point\u00a0cloud produced from spatial data gathered by the\u00a0device.<\/p>\n

With the Mentor Visual iQ HD you gain advantages\u00a0from a combination of GE Real3D\u2122 technologies\u00a0which provide more advanced 3D imaging, defect\u00a0detection and analytical capabilities than those\u00a0of any competitor. They include fully-surfaced 3D\u00a0point cloud visualization, advanced measurement\u00a0algorithms and assisted defect recognition, as\u00a0well as 3D surface masking for further clarity and\u00a0insights. The level of precision and repeatability in\u00a0the measurements obtained is unmatched.<\/p>\n

In addition, the borescope can be fitted with GE\u2019s\u00a0long-range 3D measurement optical tip. With this in\u00a0place, you can accurately measure larger features\u00a0and scan more challenging surfaces at greater\u00a0distances.<\/p>\n

Save time and effort<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Mentor Visual iQ HD makes your inspections\u00a0easier, quicker and more productive, starting with\u00a0its highly portable, ergonomic and rugged design.\u00a0You can handle the unit comfortably in some of the\u00a0most difficult spaces and it will withstand the toughest\u00a0environments.<\/p>\n

Versatile QuickChange\u2122 high-resolution probes and\u00a0optical tip adapters can be fitted quickly to meet\u00a0each challenge. For very specific purposes, you can\u00a0select from a range of interchangeable specialty\u00a0probes.<\/p>\n

For instance, the UV VideoProbe uses fluorescent light to help you access small, remote\u00a0areas for NDT inspections. The LongSteer\u2122 Probe,\u00a0in lengths up to 30 meters, is ideal for inspecting\u00a0piping, heat exchangers and boiler tubes. For\u00a0retrieval of foreign objects and debris, the Working\u00a0Channel Probe is the market\u2019s most complete\u00a0solution.<\/p>\n

Choose maximum digital efficiency<\/strong><\/p>\n

Navigation of the device\u2019s bright, high-resolution\u00a0touchscreen is intuitive, fast and precise, even\u00a0when wearing gloves. Unlike its competitors, Mentor\u00a0Visual iQ HD has multi-touch and pinch-to-zoom\u00a0functionality, just like a smartphone or modern\u00a0tablet. A unique dynamic warning message system,\u00a0which activates during measurement, troubleshoots\u00a0your results and advises solutions to common\u00a0errors.<\/p>\n

Menu-directed inspection (MDI) software simplifies\u00a0operation, guiding you swiftly through every\u00a0process with clear on-screen and stored advice.\u00a0Manual note-taking becomes unnecessary, as all\u00a0information is easy to record, tag, store, search and\u00a0manage securely via the device. Sharing data and\u00a0producing reports is simple too.<\/p>\n

Advanced connectivity allows remote control of\u00a0the unit via your tablet, using iView Remote. You\u00a0can also communicate wirelessly with colleagues,\u00a0using InspectionWorks Connect software, to stream\u00a0live video and collaborate in real time on decision\u00a0making.<\/p>\n
