Titan Tool Supply has announced the introduction of its L-Series, a family of rigid industrial-grade micro fibrescopes, also known as fibre optic borescopes.
The L-Series is designed to perform accurate and reliable remote visual inspections and diagnostics in hard-to-reach, remote, or otherwise inaccessible areas—all without the need for machinery and equipment disassembly or disruption. The series is offered in two unique models: the Model L-1, featuring a 1 mm diameter, 42° field of view, and a 6-inch working range; and the Model L-2, featuring a 2 mm diameter, 50° field of view, and a 12-inch working range. The overall focal length range is 0.118" to 0.236" (3 mm to 6 mm).
The durable construction of both L-Series models consists of a long, thin, and rigid stainless-steel tube body. The tube features a lens on one end and a light source on the other. The tube further contains an optical fibre bundle that transmits light from an external light source, thereby illuminating the area under inspection. The image is then transmitted by the fibrescope lens to an eyepiece or camera for remote viewing and diagnostics. To ensure "superior" optical resolution for the chosen diameter size, the Model L-1 is offered with a 6K element imaging bundle, while the Model L-2 features a 10K version. Both models can be fitted with an optional 90° viewing tube, resulting in only a small increase in the overall tube diameter. Both feature 30X eyepiece magnification for optimal resolution.
Optional accessories for the L-Series include a fibre optic illuminator with a 150W quartz Halogen lamp, a fibre optic bundle for connecting the illuminator with the borescope, a 3W LED battery-powered handle, and a video adapter.
