IPLEX GAir Videoscope

The IPLEX GAir videoscope helps users reach far away inspection targets quickly and easily. With a 30 m (98 ft) and 20 m (65 ft) scope, air articulation, live image orientation, and other features that enable you to navigate precisely and capture high-quality images, the IPLEX GAir videoscope helps inspectors maneuver to targets quickly and efficiently.

Long-Distance Video Borescope for Piping Systems and Heat Exchangers

Inspect Farther, Faster

Long-distance remote visual inspection (RVI) is fast and efficient with the IPLEX™ GAir videoscope, a borescope with a long length. Flexible and maneuverable, the video borescope’s 30-meter (98-foot) or 20-meter (65-foot) insertion tube can easily move through complex piping systems with multiple elbows for optimal long range pipe inspections. When you reach your inspection target, you can examine it with high-quality, wide-view images and bright LED illumination.

Experience IPLEX GAir

Long-Range Pipe Inspection

The IPLEX GAir long-distance video borescope combines maneuverability and brightness, so you can reach distant targets quickly and identify defects.

  • Maneuver through complex pipes: the guide head reduces friction and easily passes over joints between pipes while the universal push rod adapter enables a smooth passage through pipes and elbows
  • Precise articulation regardless of length: pneumatic articulation with an integrated air compressor delivers fine control, and the Tapered Flex™ insertion tube balances stiffness and flexibility for easy maneuvering
  • Know your location: the gravity sensor rotates live images regardless of the scope’s orientation, and the insertion length indicator enables you to track the insertion tube’s position

Convenient Long-Distance Video Borescope Features

  • Quickly change scopes: the waterproof scope unit can be swapped with no special tools
  • Comfortable viewing angle: place the detachable LCD screen where you want
  • Easy to transport: the compact, wheeled carrying case is easy to move—when you’re ready to inspect, the wheels lock to keep the unit stationary

Advanced Remote Visual Inspection Tools

Built with the high-quality image sensor, brightness, and advanced image processing the IPLEX series is known for, the IPLEX GAir long-distance video borescope enables you to see more during your inspection.

  • Ultra-bright illumination: powerful LEDs light up large spaces without the intensity decay common to other long-distance video borescopes
  • Automatic brightness adjustments: the PulsarPic™ processor actively adjusts the illumination to consistently provide the right level of brightness
  • See more of the pipe: 220-degree fish-eye optical tip adapter shows the side wall and forward view at the same time
  • Real-time distortion correction: the long borescope can show distortion-corrected images with 120°, 180°, and 220° equivalent fields of view
  • Clear images in large spaces: the long exposure mode enables a better probability of detection in very large spaces
  • Efficient in oily environments: the oil-clearing tip adapter draws oil away from the lens for clearer images so you spend less time withdrawing the insertion tube to clean the lens

A Remote Control Borescope for Hazardous Pipeline Inspection

If you need to visually inspect dangerous or hazardous areas, such as inside a nuclear power plant, the IPLEX GAir is a remote control borescope that helps you safely view the target from farther away.

  • Control from a distance: the remote controller enables you to remotely operate the video borescope’s functions from up to 100 m (328 ft) away, with an optional transponder
  • Remote alerts: the remote control vibrates to alert you of a situation that could damage your video borescope, such as removing the insertion tube while articulated
  • Position the LCD up to 5 m (16 ft) away: an available extension cable enables you to position the LCD monitor far from the main unit
  • Wireless image sharing: the USB wireless LAN adapter enables you to share live images with other colleagues*
