XLVu™ and XLGo™ VideoProbe® SystemFor indirect visual inspection and documentation

The XL Vu™ and the XL Go™ industrial videoscopes herald the begin of a new era in the field of indirect visual inspections: no cable, no case, no nothing – just excellent image quality in an amazingly robust, light and compact device.

Mobility in Perfection

Whether you need to scale a 100 m tallmast to check the transmission systemof a wind turbine, ascend a heat ex-changer in a refinery or crawl under aturbo-fan motor to get to a test stand,in all these cases a compact andportable industry videoscope is an ab-solute must.

The XL Vu™ and XL Go™ industrialvideoscopes succeed in marrying cable-less operation with a variety of functionsthat you normally only expect to find insystems at least three times the size.The videoscopes combine high mobilitywith pin-sharp digital images into a sys-tem which fulfills the test requirementsfor a variety of different industrial appli-cations.

In stark contrast to other video industrialendoscopes, there is no cumbersomebase unit, no rucksack and no extensioncord to get in your way and stop you get-ting on with your work – both the XL Vu™and the XL Go™ industrial videoscopesprovide you with unparalleled access tothe object or area you wish to inspectwhile offering unmatched comfort and anew sense of freedom of movement.

Exploration of the Third Kind

The XL Go™ is equipped with servo-powered All-Way® articulation which al-lows the operator to navigate the robustprobe through a variety of different testprocedures, and a titanium camera headthat allows a 360° examination of theinspection site. Two separate layers oftungsten wire mesh guarantee a maxi-mum of movement and give the quadru-ple-walled borescope its torsion strength.

A three-stage warning system, includingan integrated sensor which constantlymonitors the temperature and immedi-ately warns the user when temperaturesare too high, effectively reduces the riskof damage to the camera head.

OPTICAL INSPECTION SYSTEMS

High performance software with intelligent menu navigation

In addition, the in-tegrated data man-ager also providesthe user with theoption to load data,

create files and either copy or show in-dividual images.

You can add bothvoice and text anno-tations to any of themeasuring resultsobtained using both

systems. The XL Go™ is additionallyequipped with a variety of measuring func-tions which allow you to carry out shadow,stereo and comparison measurements oflength, distance, depth, point-to-line, in-clination, area, multi-segment length,circle gauge and much more.

Yet despite having such a variety of func-tions both systems are incredibly easyto use thanks to the intuitive navigationand a variety of optical aids on the dis-play.

Perfect image quality As you would hope,the image qualityof the XL Go™does not suffer atthe expense of the

videoscope’s heightened mobility andcompact-ness, because the powerfulLED light source and the brilliant VGALCD display provide just the sharp, crisp,detailed images which testers need tobe able to perform their work dependablyand accurately.

Single still images or complete video se-quences can be stored quickly and easilyin the internal flash memory or on theportable USB thumb drive.

Robustness of a new kindThe polycarbonate shockproof housing istough enough to stand up to the most hos-tile and harshest of conditions in industrialenvironments and shock absorbing mate-rials and seals at critical places preventdamage caused by knocks and bumpsas well as stopping dust and water frompenetrating into the device – ideal for re-liable use in everyday situations.

Both systems are delivered in a robust plastic case – ideal for transport and storage.
