Olympus IPLEX RX and IPLEX RT industrial videoscopes

Olympus has introduced the IPLEX RX and IPLEX RT industrial videoscopes. The PulsarPic image processor greatly enhances image quality and increases the efficiency of detecting tiny defects. It reduces noise and sharpens images to produce exceptionally high-resolution images in low-light conditions. An LED illumination system is nearly twice as bright as conventional videoscopes and dynamically adjusts light output to reduce halation from reflective surfaces.

The IPLEX RX also offers WiDER (wide dynamic extended range) image processing capability. WiDER enhances detail in shadowed and highlighted areas to produce bright, contrast-balanced images across the entire depth of field. The user-selectable colour and sharpness settings allow images to be customised to suit any application.

The RX and RT models provide rugged durability in harsh environments. They have a protection rating of IP55 and comply with US military standards for dust and rain resistance, as well as drop testing.

Ergonomic, lightweight handsets feature quick-access buttons for most operations as well as the company’s power-assist TrueFeel scope articulation control. An intuitive, icon-based menu system allows quick and accurate selection of the right menu option.

Post-inspection tasks and data transfer are also simplified. The latest IPLEX models feature high-quality JPEG images and AVI movies that record directly to a removable USB flash drive. Images can be saved or retrieved with a single button press, and the thumbnail view allows instant review of inspection results. The instruments’ standard InHelp inspection-assist software streamlines data and organises stored images to further improve workflow.
