SKF’s new video endoscopes are first line inspection tools that allow technicians to visually assess a machine’s internal condition without the need to disassemble, saving time and money.
“The TKES 10 endoscope range has been designed around the needs of technicians”, says Steve Gething, business development manager – Maintenance Products. “With a tip diameter of just 5,8 mm and powerful variable LED lighting, the endoscope allows good vision of machine components in dark, normally inaccessible areas”.
The entire range features a common display unit with a bright 9 cm (3,5 in) backlit screen, with the capability of saving images and video and allowing transfer to a PC or sharing with others. Supplied with a standard 1 m insertion tube, which is either flexible, semi-rigid or flexible with a steerable two way articulating tip, the range is suited to numerous applications. All models are equipped with a side view adapter to allow inspections of applications such as pipe walls.
A high resolution miniature camera at the tip of the tube, with up to 2X digital zoom, gives a clear and sharp full screen image. The tube can be inserted into water and most lube oils, and has a high ingress protection level of IP67.
To facilitate ease of use, the display unit is equipped with powerful magnets as well as a tripod mount on the back, allowing the display unit to be used hands free. Each endoscope is supplied in a sturdy carrying case complete with all necessary cables, universal mains charger and cleaning kit.
