GT160 Industrial Videoscope Inspection | 2.8mm Probe | 4–200mm | WiFi HDMI | Drop-proof

GT160 industrial videoscope inspection: the HD endoscope with a flexible articulating probe for non-destructive inspection of 4–200mm pipes, engines, precision components and inaccessible spaces in the aerospace, automotive, military, petrochemical, food and pharmaceutical industries. With four available probe diameters (2.8mm / 3.9mm / 6mm / 8mm), a cable made of 5 layers of anti-abrasion tungsten wire and active 360°/180° articulation, this industrial videoscope inspection is the reference tool of NDT engineers inspecting pipes and spaces with diameters from 4mm, inaccessible to any other system in the Jiutai lineup from Uzinex.

Unlike push rod systems and borescopes with a rigid cable, the flexible articulating probe of the GT160 actively bends at 180° and rotates 360°, navigating through the bends and changes of direction of precision pipes, the cooling channels of engines and the internal passages of cast components without forcing the material or jamming the probe. The drop-proof alloy housing, the rechargeable detachable lithium battery and the WiFi/HDMI support make the GT160 an industrial videoscope inspection designed for intensive use in production workshops, hangars and NDT laboratories. Key Advantages of the GT160 Industrial Videoscope Inspection

• 2.8mm probe, enters 4mm pipes, an absolute record in the lineup: With the 2.8mm probe, the GT160 accesses pipes and channels with diameters from 4mm, smaller than any system in the Jiutai lineup from Uzinex, including the GT230 with the 5.5mm lens for 7mm. The cooling channels of molds, the injection openings of engine components and the capillary pipes in precision equipment are visually inspectable without disassembling the component.

• Active articulation 360° rotation + 180° bend, navigation through bends: The GT160 probe has active articulation controlled from the handle: 360° rotation and 180° bend on two axes. This allows active navigation through pipe bends and the curved passages of components without forcing the probe, fundamentally different from push rods with a passive spring body that pass bends through pressure.

• 5-layer tungsten wire cable, industrial durability: The probe structure of 5 cross-layered tungsten wires ensures maximum resistance to torsion, compression and abrasion in pipes with rough internal surfaces or with abrasive deposits. Tungsten is one of the hardest metals available; the lifespan of the GT160 probe significantly exceeds alternatives with a nylon or fiberglass cable in heavy-duty applications.

• Four probe diameters: 2.8mm / 3.9mm / 6mm / 8mm: The complete set of four probes covers all diameters from 4mm to 200mm, from capillary inspections of precision components to service pipes in industrial installations. The available front and side probes allow both axial and radial viewing, without repositioning the inspected component.

• 20,000–100,000 LUX adjustable lighting, visibility in any environment: The wide lighting range (20,000 LUX for small pipes with reflective surfaces, 100,000 LUX for larger or darker spaces) ensures optimal visibility of defects without overexposure or underexposure, critical for detecting fine cracks and incipient corrosion on metal surfaces.

• Integrated WiFi + HDMI, complete connectivity: WiFi support allows live image transmission to a smartphone or tablet for real-time collaboration or mobile documentation. HDMI allows connection to external monitors or projectors for technical presentations and group analyses, a unique functionality compared with all other push rod and pole systems in the lineup.

• Rechargeable detachable lithium battery, continuous autonomy: The lithium battery detaches and is replaced instantly with a charged battery; long continuous inspection sessions proceed without recharging breaks, simply by swapping the battery. Unlike systems with an integrated battery that require shutdown and recharging, the GT160 can operate uninterrupted with spare batteries.

• Drop-proof alloy housing, robustness for harsh industrial environments: The drop-proof metal alloy housing protects the electronics and the TFT LCD screen from the mechanical shocks specific to industrial environments (hangars, foundry workshops, railway sites) where portable equipment is exposed to the risk of dropping or impact.

Technical Specifications: GT160 Industrial Videoscope Inspection

Applications: Where the GT160 Industrial Videoscope Inspection Is Used

An industrial videoscope inspection from the GT160 series is the standard tool of the maintenance and quality departments in the aerospace and automotive industries for internal inspections of engines, turbines and hydraulic components without disassembly. NDT engineers insert the 2.8mm or 3.9mm probe through the existing access openings of the engine (spark plug holes, oil channels, cooling passages) and document the internal condition of cylinders, valves and transmission components without dismantling the unit, saving hours of work per inspection and eliminating the risk of damage during reassembly.

In the food, pharmaceutical and foundry industries, this industrial videoscope inspection checks the internal channels of injection molds, the distribution passages of dosing equipment and the transfer pipes of process liquids for the presence of cracks, casting burrs, deposits or foreign bodies that compromise product quality or process hygiene. The tungsten probe and the drop-proof housing withstand the abrasive and chemical environments specific to these industries.

Maintenance teams in the railway and military industries use systems such as the GT160 industrial videoscope inspection for periodic inspections of tubular components, transmission shafts and internal structures with limited access, in accordance with international standards for non-destructive video inspection. The integrated WiFi allows real-time transmission of images to maintenance management systems without removing the memory card. How It Works: Inspection with the GT160 Videoscope

• Selecting the probe and configuring the system: The technician chooses the probe with the diameter appropriate to the component to be inspected: 2.8mm for capillary passages, 3.9mm for small pipes, 6mm or 8mm for wider spaces. The probe connects to the control handle and the unit with the TFT screen in a few seconds.

• Inserting the probe through the access opening: The flexible probe is inserted through the access opening of the engine, mold or pipe. The active 180° articulation is controlled from the high-sensitivity handle; the technician navigates the probe through internal bends without forcing or jamming.

• Live inspection with adjustable lighting: The HD image appears in real time on the 3.5 or 5.7 inch TFT screen. Through this industrial videoscope inspection, the technician adjusts the lighting between 20,000 and 100,000 LUX for optimal visibility of the inspected surface and rotates the probe 360° for complete documentation of the internal circumference.

• Capture and transmission via WiFi or HDMI: Identified defects (cracks, corrosion, deposits, foreign bodies, wear) are photographed or video recorded with a single button. The images are transferred wirelessly to a smartphone or tablet via WiFi, or to an external monitor via HDMI for real-time analysis.

• Battery swap and continuing the session: When the battery is depleted, the technician detaches the discharged battery, fits a charged battery and continues the session without any break or data loss. The recordings remain on the memory card until the final export.

Frequently Asked Questions about the GT160 Industrial Videoscope Inspection

What is an industrial videoscope and how does it differ from a push rod borescope?

An industrial videoscope inspection has an actively articulating flexible probe: the technician controls the bending and rotation of the probe from the handle to navigate through the bends of the inspected components. A push rod borescope with a rigid cable advances by pushing, without active control of direction. The videoscope is the solution for precision components with complex geometries (engines, turbines, molds), while the push rod is the solution for long sewer pipes with relatively straight runs. What is the minimum pipe or channel diameter the GT160 can inspect?

With the 2.8mm probe, the GT160 inspects pipes and channels from 4mm internal diameter, the smallest in the entire Jiutai lineup from Uzinex. This allows visual access in the cooling channels of injection molds, the injection openings of hydraulic components and the internal passages of cast parts with diameters of 4–10mm, without opening or disassembling the component. How does the probe's active articulation work and what advantage does it bring over rigid probes?

The active articulation of the GT160 probe is mechanically controlled from the high-sensitivity handle: the technician bends the probe at angles up to 180° and rotates it 360° while advancing through the pipe or component. Compared with rigid or semi-flexible probes, this allows navigation through the 90° and 180° bends of internal passages without forcing the material, without jamming the probe and without the risk of damaging the internal walls of the inspected precision component. In which industries is the GT160 used versus the push rod systems in the lineup?

The GT160 covers industries with precision components and complex internal spaces: aerospace, automotive, military, petrochemical, food, pharmaceutical, foundry and railway, fields where push rods with a 10–120m cable are not suitable by design. The push rod systems GT220, GT230 or GM320 are the solutions for inspections of sewer, drainage and sanitary pipes with lengths of 10–120m. The GT160, this industrial videoscope inspection, is the tool for component inspections with probes of 1–10m in precision industrial production environments. Does the integrated WiFi allow remote control or only image transmission?

The integrated WiFi of this industrial videoscope inspection mainly allows live transmission of images to a smartphone or tablet: a second observer can follow the inspection in real time and capture screenshots without being physically present at the main unit. HDMI allows connection to external monitors or projectors for group analyses or technical presentations. Control of the probe articulation is carried out exclusively from the physical handle of the GT160. Why Buy the GT160 Industrial Videoscope Inspection from UZINEX?
