Designed for use in practically any
environment, these rugged, waterproof and drop-proof industrial videoscopes
deliver images and video with remarkable sharpness and clarity. The new cameras
are designed to be intuitive and easy to use for new and experienced users
alike.
The main display unit features a large,
5.7" (145mm)LCD monitor that is easy to view in cramped and poorly lit
industrial spaces, or aircraft maintenance facilities. The Extech’s large display,
coupled with quality optics, helps ensure you identify the most minute features
or defects during inspections. Users can capture and store nearly 15,000 images
or up to 4 hours of video on an easy to transfer SD memory card. Plus, audio
annotations can be added to video helping to minimize or eliminate paper
note-taking.
Ergonomic grips with adjustable straps
make it easy to hold the display while conducting inspections, while the
tilt-stand or tripod mount can be used to stabilize the display on any job
surface.
Easy to hold for extended periods, the
HDV640W wireless handset enables scope use up to 10 meters away from the
display.
The articulated controller handset
features a 6mm scope and a large, glove-friendly, articulation control knob
with adjustable resistance. With easy and precise control of the 320 degree
articulated camera tip, the Extech handset simplifies inspections of
detail-intensive equipment.
Extech videoscopes are optimized for
challenging industrial locations and all-weather environments. Extech’s HDV600
series is one of the few videoscopes to be tested waterproof to IP67 standards
and drop-proof to 2 meters (6.5’). Whether confronted with stormy weather or a
high-dust location, or the videoscope is accidentally dropped, the Extech continues
to perform.
The HDV600 videoscope series is ideal
for use in a range of industries including
- Industrial processing and manufacturing (casting, machining, EDM, welding)
- Aviation AMP, AOG and FBO
- Heavy equipment
- Manufacturing
- Government and security
- Power generation
- Commercial/Industrial HVACR
- And more ...
Extech’s HDV600 videoscope family
offers a wide range of handset, optical, and scope length configurations
ensuring users select the best combination for their requirements. As needs
change, Extech’s modular and upgradeable design makes it easy to adapt the
videoscope to tackle tomorrow’s newest challenge.
