IPLEX TX II | Ultra-Thin Video Borescope 
The Evident IPLEX TX II ultra-thin video borescope is available with a 2.2 mm diameter flexible scope or a 1.8 mm rigid scope. Using the flexible scope, you can obtain a wide field of view in spaces where the opening is very small for faster inspections and easier decision making. Combining high image quality and user comfort, the IPLEX TX II video borescope enables efficient inspection of castings, molds, and other parts with small cavities.
IPLEX TX II ultra-thin video borescope overview
The IPLEX TX II video borescope offers easier insertion to help you reach your target faster as well as improved image quality that supports your decision making.

Inspect in Smaller Spaces
- Access small openings with the 2.2 mm insertion tube
- Insertion tube with a 2 mm shorter rigid distal end compared to the original IPLEX TX combined with improved hardness and articulation control, making it easier to maneuver in smaller spaces
- The insertion tube’s articulating section has a tungsten outer braid for added protection, while its shortened length help keep it from getting stuck
- The rigid insertion tube’s air injector enables you to blow liquid droplets away to obtain clearer images (the protection sleeve is required to use the air injector)
Stay Comfortable During Long Inspections
- Ultra-lightweight rigid scope weighs as much as a ballpoint pen, so there’s less strain when you’re holding it for long periods of time
- Extend the grip to grasp the tube closer to the insertion point for finer control
- Images are displayed on a tablet, so you can position it where it’s comfortable
Durable and Flexible
- The flexible insertion tube’s articulation section improves its overall durability
- Metal braiding in the articulation section provides additional protection and wear resistance
- For applications where it’s required, the optional rigid scope enables you to acquire high-quality images and pass through openings as small as 1.8 mm
- With the rigid scope’s CMOS imaging sensor, images still transmit to the screen if the tube is slightly damaged

IPLEX GAir | Long-Distance Video Borescope
Long-distance remote visual inspection (RVI) is fast and efficient with the Evident IPLEX GAir video borescope. 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. When you reach your inspection target, you can examine it with high-quality, wide-view images and bright LED illumination.
IPLEX GAir long-distance video borescope overview
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
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
- 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 video 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
Hazardous pipeline inspection application
If you need to visually inspect dangerous or hazardous areas, such as inside a nuclear power plant, the IPLEX GAir long-distance video borescope 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 (Using a recommended third-party USB wireless adapter)

More About Sweeney Digital Turning Tool from Enerpac
Sweeney Digital Turning Tool from Enerpac
Enerpac’s Sweeney Digital Turning Tool (DTT) enables you to control the turbine’s blade rotation during borescope inspection using a convenient, palm-sized remote control or hands-free foot pedal. When used with IPLEX series videoscopes, a single inspector can thoroughly inspect an engine turbine efficiently.
Turbine engines—including aeroengines, power generation turbines, and marine engines—all require remote visual inspection (RVI) using borescopes to help ensure that they’re working properly. In many cases, hundreds of blades need to be thoroughly inspected as quickly as possible to minimize downtime.
Sweeney Digital Turning Tool benefits
- Reduce Your Labor Costs: The Sweeney Digital Turning Tool enables a single operator to control the engine rotation while conducting the inspection.
- Reduced Risk of Borescope or Engine Damage: Since one person is controlling the inspection and engine rotation, the tool eliminates miscommunications if one person is inspecting and the other is controlling the rotation as well as the physical burden of using a wrench in a hard-to-reach location to manually rotate the blades. The DTT’s torque overload sensor shuts down the tool if excessive torque occurs, helping prevent damage to the engine and borescope.
Sweeney Digital Turning Tool features
The Sweeney Digital Turning Tool has features that help make your inspections more efficient.
- Blade tracking: helps keep you from inspecting the same blade twice or missing a blade.
- Flag blades for additional screening: go back and check only the blades you want to.
- Work comfortably: the palm-sized wireless remote enables you to hold or place it wherever it’s comfortable.
- Hands-free operation: the foot pedal enables you to stay focused on the inspection and operate key actions without using your hands.
- Get to work quickly: the controller comes with a preinstalled engine library, enabling you to quickly set up the tool without changing software each time you change engines.
