Resistance to High Temperatures and Abrasion

 

 

The insertion tubes of the IPLEX LX withstand temperatures up to 100 ºC (212 ゚F). A high-temperature sensor cautions an audible beep and displays a visual warning if the scope is in danger of becoming overheated.

 

The crush-proof insertion tube

 

The crash-proof insertion tube

The crush-proof insertion tubes of the IPLEX LX and LT are equipped with an innovative fine mesh tungsten outer braid that results in 4X higher abrasion resistance than conventional insertion tubes. The tube's strength combined with its flexibility allows operation in the most difficult and hazardous inspection areas.
The IPLEX LX and LT are designed with the unique Tapered FlexTM achieving superb scope maneuverability with optimized stiffness and flexibility. In addition, the increased stiffness of the new 8.5 mm scope allows it to be easily pushed deep into an inspection area without the use of a guide tube, making it ideal for long pipe inspections.

 

Viewing Capability

 

Building on decades of experience in optical imaging, the innovative IPLEX LX and LT design provides superb image quality of inspected objects.

 

Excellent color reproduction and superb clarity

 

Excellent colour reproduction and superb clarity

The industry-leading 6.5 in. daylight-view monitor is larger than comparable videoscopes on the market, always allowing for a comfortable viewing position and convenience for group viewing. Superb image clarity permits the accurate detection of very small defects.

 

Clear, Crisp Images

 

 

The IPLEX LX features our unique image processing capability, WiDERTM (Wide Dynamic Extended Range). This innovative technology brings out detail in shadowed and highlighted areas to produce bright, contrast-balanced images across the entire depth of field.

 

Ultra-Bright, Interchangeable LED Tip adapters

 

 

For optimum magnification and direction suitable for a variety of inspection environments, the IPLEX LX and LT offer a comprehensive range of interchangeable optical adaptors.
The new integrated LED illumination system is approximately twice as bright as conventional LED-lit systems. Furthermore, the 8.5 mm scope is 6X brighter than the conventional 6.0 mm LED scope system, which is ideal for the inspection of large voids. Fitted within the scope tip, it delivers vivid illumination regardless of scope length and eliminates the need for a fiber light guide.
In addition, the IPLEX LX is equipped with Hi-Beam mode boosting illumination up to 2X for expanded inspection capability, and the SmartTip™ automatic recognition function. Our unique SmartTip feature installed in optical adaptors permits recording of the adaptor information, along with captured images for inspection traceability.

 

Image Management

 

The versatile IPLEX LX and LT offer far more than just on-site inspection. From image archiving to defect measurement and image management on a PC, post inspection tasks are made easier after returning from the inspection site.

 

High-Quality Images and Movies

 

High-Quality Images and Movies

The IPLEX LX and LT feature high-quality JPEG still images and MPEG-4 movies that record into a removable USB flash drive. Saving or retrieving images requires only a single button press, and the thumbnail view makes it easy to instantly review the inspection results.
