Laser Tools has introduced a high performance industrial endoscope with a high resolution five-inch colour LCD display.

This new inspection camera (part no. 7604) is a fully-featured instrument, ergonomically designed so that the main function buttons can be controlled with one hand. The extremely flexible, semi-rigid camera probe is 1 metre long and just 3.9mm in diameter making it ideal for inspection in confined engine compartments. For example, the very narrow diameter of the camera probe makes it very useful for inspecting combustion chambers in diesel-engined vehicles using the glow plug aperture for access. It also means a technician can read the part number of a component buried in the engine-bay without dismantling.

The instrument is fitted with an 8GB Micro SD card which enables still images and video recordings to be saved. Sound is also recorded. The still image or video files can be transferred to a PC or laptop via the supplied USB lead or by removing the Micro SD card from the inspection camera and connecting to the PC via a card reader. It also features a four-LED torch and the button controls are back-lit. The tip of the camera probe features six LEDs with three brightness settings for use in dark environments. The internal battery is charged via the USB lead.

Laser says the new inspection camera is a game-changer for the professional technician and is available now from Laser stockists.
