  • Custom J-Shaped Semi-Rigid HDF Fiberscope

    Custom J-Shaped Semi-Rigid HDF Fiberscope

    Challenge: A casting customer frequently damaged fragile and hard-to-manipulate small articulating fiberscopes. This occurred in a small-diameter, intersecting passage way.

    Solution: The customer's part was analyzed, and a 3D model was created. From computer analysis, a custom "J-shaped" semi-rigid scope was designed and built.

    Results: The custom J-shape enabled the customer to avoid articulating scopes, saving them significant repair costs. The result had more than 2x the image resolution and illumination, and increased operability.

  • Small Diameter Super-Flex Orbital Weld Inspection Scope

    Challenge: An aerospace customer struggled to inspect the highly-relective side walls of a small diameter, stainless steel tube with heavy wall thickness.

    Solution: After first-hand observation, sample part testing, and design on cutting-edge optical software, Zibra engineered a 2.2 mm diameter scope with a small bend radius, close focus optics, and custom illumiation control.

    Result: An orbital weld inspection scope that could perform an unprecendent 100% inspection of the customer's part.

  • MilliWand Design Feature

    Challenge: High-volume casting inspection customers repeatedly damaged scopes due to handling issues.

    Solution: A 1-meter protected extension cable terminating in an easy-to-use grip "wand" handle. The working length of the scope extends from the handle for a superb inspection and inpector experience.

    Result: The MilliWand design greatly improved scope ergonomics and usability. Operators now inspect parts more easily with far less handling damage. Product owners also saw signifcant reduction in scope repair costs.
