4-Way Articulating Borescope Series – Precision in Every Direction

Full 360° Tip Control

The difference shows up on the jobs where you cannot reposition the probe. Once the tip is deep in a combustion chamber, a turbine casing, or a compound pipe bend, pulling it back out to try a different angle costs you the access you just worked for. Four-way steering lets you sweep the entire field from where you already are — look back along a valve face, follow a weld seam around a bore, check the underside of an obstruction.

Sizing and control

Camera diameters run 3.9 mm, 6.2 mm, and 8.5 mm; 3.9 mm reaches modern spark plug wells that a standard probe will not enter. Cables come in 1 m, 2 m, and 3 m, with custom lengths available. Control is by joystick or rocker, operated one-handed while the other hand feeds the cable.

Where 4-way pays for itself

Turbine and blade inspection in aviation MRO, GDI valve and piston work where a systematic sweep beats a lucky angle, weld and crack detection in NDT, and any inspection that has to be documented rather than just glanced at.
