Karl Storz Releases Multipoint Measuring Videoscope
Posted:
KARL STORZ Industrial Group is proud to present a brand new, 4.4 mm
diameter videoscope incorporating our patented MULTIPOINT laser
measuring system for the remote visual inspection market.

This new product makes KARL STORZ one of the few manufacturers offering
this diameter of "See & Measure" videoscope. "See & Measure" allows for
simultaneous inspection and measurement. There is no need to change tips
as in conventional measurement methods and the image is viewed in full
screen format at all times. Unlike the stereo measurement method, which
produces half-images, the MULTIPOINT measurement system always
provides a full-screen, full resolution view.

MULTIPOINT measurement allows for accurate analysis of heights, lengths,
areas, references, line-to-point, and depths of defects. The system
guarantees measuring accuracy from any angle of view of the videoscope as
well as on any surface and is fully resistant to any vibration.

The new 4.4 mm videoscope also features one of the shortest rigid ends
available today with 140° four-way articulation, allowing the inspection of
even the smallest radius. Class leading, high intensity illumination also
ensures that users are supplied with a quality of image not previously seen
on this diameter of videoscope.

An ergonomic handle designed for true one-handed operation is standard on
this videoscope and ensures intuitive ease of use. The articulation of the
videoscope is controlled via the patented manual CLICK4MOVE® control
that offers a multitude of advantages over conventional joystick control:

Full and direct, real-time, lag-free steering with an integral ‘lock’ feature.
True tactile feedback or "feel", ensuring that the user is fully aware of any
obstacles or blockage directly at the tip of the videoscope.

The KARL STORZ commitment to quality ensures that all of our videoscopes
are robust and impact-resistant, and the sheath incorporates our tried and
tested tear resistance and tensile strength enabling it to withstand rugged
industrial use and ensure a long operational life.

Multiple interchangeable lenses with different directions of view, depths of
field, and angles of view are available for the 4.4 mm videoscope. Color
codes ensure that the lenses can be intuitively distinguished. A titanium ring
as well as the double safety thread (to prevent accidental detachment)
increase safety. All of these features combine to ensure that whatever your
application, we can provide the ultimate solution.
