Olympus IPLEX SX INDUSTRIAL VIDEOSCOPE BOROSCOPE
6mm x 11ft
 
IPLEX SX combines the value-added functionality of the IPLEX SX with the increased versatility of interchangeable insertion tubes. Whether it's the 4.4mm diameter 4.0m length insertion tube or the 6.0mm diameter 19.0m version, IPLEX SX provides a powerful and cost-efficient inspection solution with the option for measurement. The world's slimmest* scope with internal working channel is also part of the IPLEX SX range. With a diameter of just 6.2mm, not only can it be used for general inspections, it also has the added ability of hooking and foreign object retrieval.


Cutting-edge technologies achieve high-quality imaging
The eyes of the IPLEX Series are in a highly sensitive, high density micro CCD that captures images at high resolution with rich gradients and exceptional clarity throughout an extended dynamic range.

Precise optical system
Olympus offers a comprehensive range of optical adapters, allowing almost any combination of brightness, depth of field (DOF), and field of view (FOV). These high-performance adapters sharply focus light at the micro-pixel level to realize supremely sharp, vivid detail that contributes to more precise measurement and inspection.

WIDER image processing algorithm
Images with a limited dynamic range tend to lose details in the brightest and darkest areas. However, Olympus has virtually eliminated such whiteout and blackout through a newly developed, proprietary image-processing algorithm that greatly expands the dynamic range. This wide dynamic extended range (WIDER) algorithm, exclusively featured on the IPLEX SX Series, brings out the details in the shadows and highlights. The resulting rich gradations naturally represent the inspection area as seen by the naked eye, allowing much more accurate inspection.

High Resolution LCD
The large 6.3-inch XGA high resolution LCD monitor provides 10x the resolution of conventional monitors (approx. 790,000pixels) and provides 25% more viewing area as well as a much wider dynamic range. It displays images with clear precision, bringing out the full potential of the high-resolution CCD so that users can inspect every detail with supreme accuracy.

Interchangeable scope units
IPLEX SX scope units can be interchanged to meet various needs. Scopes of different diameters and insertion lengths, as well as scopes with built-in forceps are available. The wide IPLEX SX Series lineup further expands your inspection possibilities.

Simplicity from the moment you arrive at the inspection site
Just open the case, connect the power source and pick up the lightweight remote controller. Now you're ready to inspect. Packing away is just as easy. Turn the handle to retract the scope, store the cables and close the lid. Olympus meticulously refined every feature of IPLEX Series with everyday practicality in mind to make inspections totally hassle-free.

The lightweight ergonomically designed remote control unit lets you conduct all operations with a single hand. Designed to minimize the fatigue of extended operation, it provides buttons for frequently used functions that reduce the need to repeatedly refer to the menu screen. Inspection becomes speedier and more comfortable as a result.

Durable, easy-to-insert insertion tube
The Tough Tapered Flex tube is widely acclaimed for its superior insertability and durable inner construction (3 times more durable than conventional tubes). Its braided exterior is made of tungsten, an especially tough material typically used in cemented carbide and heatresistant alloys.

Featuring a more pliable distal end and stiffer proximal end, this original Olympus tube design provides the superior insertion capability you need to perform inspections more easily.

50-watt metal-halide lamp
Bright illumination is provided by a 50-watt metal-halide lamp. Both the lamp and its light guide feature designs highly acclaimed for providing quality brightness and light distribution that contribute to precise inspection.

Highly precise motorized tip angulation
Angulation of the insertion tube tip is motorized for smooth operation and can be controlled with the joystick on the remote control unit. The high-precision motor lets you position the insertion tube tip exactly where you need it.


Smooth, stepless zooming
The stepless zooming feature allows magnification to be adjusted between 1x and 3x in a smooth, continuous manner that keeps the image clearly in focus at all times. This feature enables the inspection of wide areas of the object as well as close-ups when problem areas are discovered. A panning function also allows easy up, down, left and right panning of the zoomed image.

Accurate measurement via zoom window
The zoom window allows up to 4x magnification of images. This helps decrease human errors when measuring between points and improves the accuracy of overall measurement.

Clear indication of distance to object
Proprietary spot-ranging technology from Olympus greatly enhances inspection efficiency by clearly indicating the distance from the tip of the scope to the object on screen -in real-time. The distance is indicated via numerical value and color-coded bar, allowing users to easily determine the ideal measurement distance.

Observe and control live, real-time inspections from anywhere in the world
IPLEX SX features an integrated network card that provides direct communication to a company's wired or wireless computer network. Through the network, inspectors can grant access to many remote users for viewing live inspections, controlling the scope or instantly emailing still images. Examples of remote users vary with application and can include people such as off-site managers, engine manufacturer engineers, service consultants, etc. A networked IPLEX SX greatly reduces the time required to get valuable information in the hands of off-site decision makers and thus saves both time and money. Note: Network functions are currently only available for IPLEX SX.
