Industrial video endoscopes commonly adopt three types of light sources: white light (the most prevalent), ultraviolet light (mentioned above), and infrared light. As it falls outside the visible red spectrum, infrared light has longer wavelengths and cannot be seen by the naked eye, yet it can be captured via infrared sensors and cameras. Here we present infrared industrial borescopes, dedicated NDT devices.
What’s the Infrared Inspection Camera
The infrared industrial endoscope is a specialized non-destructive testing device that utilizes 850nm or 940nm wavelength infrared light as its light source. When infrared light strikes the target surface and reflects, built-in sensors convert the received signals into high-resolution grayscale images, clearly revealing internal structures invisible to the naked eye. Capable of operating in complete darkness and smoky conditions, the device is widely applied to criminal investigation, counter terrorism and security tasks. Its exceptional concealment significantly reduces the probability of exposure.
What are the components of Infrared borescope
The infrared industrial borescope mainly consists of a probe, infrared imager, signal processor and display screen. As the core component, the probe integrates a lens, photosensitive sensor, infrared LED light, and transmission cable, responsible for capturing internal images and data of the inspected object. The infrared imager converts the images transmitted by the probe into digital signals. These signals are processed by the signal processor and finally output to the display.
Infrared inspection cameras are equipped with specialized imaging modes. Infrared light features excellent fog and smoke penetration, and its invisible light source ensures outstanding operational concealment. It offers a maximum effective viewing distance of 18 meters in total darkness and works reliably in foggy conditions; Ideal for industrial NDT, criminal investigation and security work, it is not suitable for color recognition detection tasks due to grayscale output.
