D phase measurement: Patented structured-light technology enables inspectors to locate, measure and analyze without having to change tip optics.
3D stereo measurement: Uses the same optical tips as traditional stereo measurement—but employs more advanced calibration and processing algorithms to generate a full, 3D point cloud representation of the surface being viewed.
3D point cloud visualizations: View a live, 3-dimensional point cloud representation of the object being inspected.
Interchangeable probe sizes: Multiple probe sizes available to meet different types of inspection requirements.
A variety of tips available: Choose the tip that best match your field-of-view and depth-of-field requirements.
Highly accurate measurements: Indications can be measured in real–time from the Mentor Visual iQ VideoProbe —and re-measured on a computer later on, without having to relocate the indication.
Connectivity: Wi-Fi options allow you to beam live video from the probe’s screen anywhere in the world, enabling you to quickly share data about an inspection.
InspectionWorks ready: Optional InspectionWorks connectivity allows experts to view a live inspection in progress from across the globe, allowing smarter decisions, faster.
Menu Directed Inspection (MDI): MDI software in 14 languages digitally guides inspectors through the inspection process, intelligently names files and creates MS Word® and PDF compatible inspection reports.
Durability: Designed for use in today’s demanding manufacturing, aerospace, and power-generation environments.
Light, compact and easy to carry: Weighing less than 9 pounds, the video probe is portable and built for extended use.
Remote control: Hands-free operation available through the optional remote control.
Windows file management: On-board, Windows-based file management makes it easy to transfer files.
Easy data transfer: Files can be transferred by removable memory card, USB connection, or through the unit’s on-board Wi-Fi connectivity.
Made and supported in the USA: The Mentor Visual iQ VideoProbe is manufactured in the U.S.A. and supported by Berg Engineering and Baker Hughes, a GE company.
