SKF, the knowledge engineering company, has launched a new series of portable, compact and easy to use, multi-functional endoscopes that are suitable for internal inspection of a wide range of machinery. The TKES 10 endoscopes are high quality instruments that provide fast and easy inspection with functions such as snapshot, video recording, picture and video review on a compact LCD display backlit screen. Combined, these features allow maintenance technicians to investigate machine condition quickly and accurately with minimum downtime.
Each TKES 10 series endoscope features a high resolution miniature camera, with up to 2x digital zoom that provides a clear and sharp full screen image via a one metre insertion tube. The 5.8mm tip diameter camera is able to show a wide field of view and is available in three variations, with a flexible, semi-rigid or articulated tip. The tube can even be inserted in water and most lubricant oils, and has a high ingress protection level of IP 67. In addition, a side view adaptor allows inspection of awkward applications such as pipe walls.
The endoscope's compact display unit comes with a 90mm screen and is equipped with a powerful variable LED light source making it suitable for inspections in dark spaces. JPEG 640 x 480 pixel images and ASF 320 x 240 pixel videos can be saved and recalled, downloaded to PC and shared. The unit's 2GB SD memory card can store up to 50,000 photos or 120 minutes of video.
The unit uses a 3.7V li-polymer battery providing an operational life of up to four hours between charges and can be used on machinery working in a range of temperatures between -20
