Test Equipment

Fiberscopes are the ideal tool for inspection and maintenance. Fiberscopes offer new perspectives of the insides of machines. Thanks to its flexible fibre optic cables and its light weight enclosure, this extraordinary optical component can locate problems and conflicts very easily and quickly, allowing for preventative measures to be taken without the need to dismantle the machinery first. Fiberscopes are used mainly by electricians, security personnel, specialists in the professional sector, and mechanics of all types.  Fiberscopes are exceptional tools in places such as schools or universities, especially in practical applications. Don't hesitate to call us if you wish to enquire about our Fiberscopes.  If you don't find the fiberscopes you are looking for, please contact us and we will help you find the best solution to suit your needs by calling our German offices: +49 (0)29 03 976 99-52; our Italian offices: +39 0583 975 114; or our Spanish offices: +34 967 543 548 and our technical staff will advise you regarding our measuring instruments.

Fiberscopes function without the possibility of saving images.  Of course, we offer an adaptor which will allow you to connect the fiberscope to a digital camera, permitting you to capture images, digitize them and document them in a PC. The adaptor has a diameter of 37mm. It is a standard adaptor for most types of digital cameras, although some models will require another adaptor to accomodate from 52mm or 48mm to 37mm. Unfortunately we only have the 37mm adaptor available from our store, the other adaptors can be found at shops specializing in photography and its components, for example, Hama.

We sell adaptors for all types of fiberscopes that we have available 
 

                                                     
If you follow the following image links you can see a larger image of all the adaptors shown. You can also see a short video that shows fiberscopes being used on an American racing car: video.

Take into account that the adaptors are only suited to the standard lens size previously mentioned, and it isn't possible to put in it's place just any type of digital camera. As such, you will have the capacity to document the areas inspected by the fiberscope. The digital camera is not included with the fiberscope when you order. Consult use about any doubts you may have regarding the adaptors for fiberscopes or regarding the apparatus itself.

Almost all of the fiberscopes come with a 45° mirror attachment to increase the field of vision. You can also order a magnet attachment to locate magnetic objects, such as a screw, and extract them.

General information about fiberscopes: Fiberscopes have a cylindrical form that contains a light and a lens that magnifies the image from the optic fibres to allow a visualization of the area being analysed to determine the fault. Fiberscopes are traditionally used for diagnostics in the sector of medicine.  Today, they are used in the industrial sector, for cavities with limited accessibility (injection moulds, machinery, motors, casting, etc..). Our fiberscopes are are flexible and return to their original form after they are extracted. For documentation we offer these fiberscopes with camera and video adaptors. The two images above show two examples of the fiberscope at work. To the right you can see that an automobile's exhaust pipe is being inspected for oxidation, obstructions and fractures. To the left it is being used to inspect the plumbing of a sink for obstructions.
Attention: Our fiberscopes are not to be used in the field of medicine.  They can only be used in the industrial sector, DIY, product development along with personal use such as for hobbies.
