Versatile Everest XLG3
VideoProbe boosts
inspection capabilities
The new Everest XLG3™ VideoProbe,
from GE Inspection Technologies, offers the
versatility for fast and reliable internal visual
inspection to boost productivity. It can be
used for applications as wide ranging as
on-wing turbine engine inspection in the
aerospace sector, turn-around inspections
on process plant components, boiler outage
inspections in the electric power industry
and cylinder-head checking in automotive
manufacture.
With a host of advanced features such
as QuickChange™ probes that quickly
reconfigure probe length and diameter,
the new RVI system dramatically reduces
inspection and post-inspection times. Using
an on-board DVD/CD drive, the XLG3
VideoProbe allows inspection information
to be stored in real-time, for transfer using
flash drives or the internet.
A high-resolution display, intuitive software
control buttons and drop-down menus guide
operators effortlessly through the control
functions and give step-by-step instruction
for each component until the inspection is
complete. Images can be tagged for future
identification and to incorporate inspection
comments. The instrument’s software
allows text and arrow overlays and custom
logos.
Portability is a major feature of the new
system, which is built for durability to
withstand the rigours of field inspection.
Mr Ed Hubben, product manager for GE
Inspection Technologies, comments,
“Digital imagery and live video are critical
in all industrial and process sectors. With
the Everest XLG3 you can now capture
very high quality digital data and transmit
this in real time direct from the point of
inspection to remote quality control and
maintenance teams to deliver fast and
reliable diagnosis, allowing accurate,
critical decision making.”
