By constantly striving to offer new and user-oriented products, we aim to optimally support our customers in their daily work. Our product range includes rigid and flexible endoscopes, videoscopes, light sources, cameras, and documentation units. Our longstanding experience helps us to understand customer needs and offer high quality products.
Our videoscopes, which ensure excellent image reproduction by means of high resolution CCD/CMOS image sensors, are perfectly suited for industrial use thanks to protective tungsten braiding. With diameters of 3.9 mm to 8 mm and variable lengths of 1 m to 7.5 m, KARL STORZ NDTec offers you a broad product range to cover a wide variety of applications. Our VTec series features portable videoscopes with a compact, lightweight design that are also available for UV inspection and in infrared versions. Our MULTIPOINT measuring system, which supplies exact results even under vibration, enables you to measure damage and defects precisely and immediately during inspection.
Rigid endoscopes, so-called borescopes, supply clear, sharp, and bright images thanks to the proven HOPKINS® rod lens system. The outer sheath's robustness and resistance to oil, fuel, and solvents make them perfectly suited for everyday use in industry. The wide variety of diameters ranging from 1.6 mm to 8 mm ensures that we have the right endoscope for each application. For special applications, KARL STORZ NDTec also offers miniature borescopes, which supply excellent images even in the miniature range of 1 mm and up. The swing prism borescope permits all-round vision with the largest possible field of view without requiring probe changes.
In flexible endoscopes (also known as fiberscopes or optical fiber endoscopes), the image transmission system consists of an optical fiber bundle. This fiber bundle transmits the image to the eyepiece and is very easy to bend during operation thanks to the flexible outer sheath. Fiberscopes facilitate access to sharply angled objects or pipes and are very robust despite their flexibility. With an outer layer of plastic or tungsten braiding, our fiberscopes have a diameter of 0.5 mm to 4.2 mm and offer an extremely large field of view thanks to two-way deflection. With the miniature fiberscopes featuring diameters of 0.5 mm to 1.3 mm, you can perform inspections even through very small openings. Particularly for the automotive and casting industries, KARL STORZ NDTec offers the autoscope, which supports routine work through its robust design.
The Large Diameter Systems from KARL STORZ NDTec are suitable for applications where extended lengths as well as the mobility and robustness of the camera head play an important role. Our camera systems deliver high resolution images for damage analysis in pipes or for the inspection of downpipes and ventilation pipes. The ability to easily navigate bends and the protected and scratch-resistant telescope facilitate your inspection at lengths of up to 30 meters. Tungsten braiding offers optimal protection, and your inspection results in the form of images and videos can be saved immediately.
Our cameras and documentation systems deliver excellent image quality, and we ensure "plug & play" compatibility of the individual components to guarantee the optimal quality of the overall system. You can take advantage of different documentation options to suit your needs and save your inspection results in the form of photos or videos.
Cameras from KARL STORZ NDTec feature excellent image properties, functional control elements, and an ergonomic shape that ensures fatigue-free working. The universal coupling can be connected to all conventional endoscope eyepieces, and the durable camera types are perfectly suited for industrial use.
Documenting the inspection results is essential in many areas of industrial endoscopy. To be able to accommodate individual customer needs, KARL STORZ NDTec offers various options. These include transmission via the camera control unit to a monitor or visualization and documentation by means of a compact "all in one" unit. USB sticks and SD cards can be used for storage. Connection via TV card or to a laptop are further available options.
Homogeneous illumination of the cavities to be inspected is essential to achieving high image quality. Highly reflective or light-absorbing surfaces call for customized light intensities. Depending on the area of application and the type of endoscope, different light sources are suitable. The KARL STORZ NDTec portfolio includes 5 W LED battery-operated light sources through to 300 W Xenon cold light projectors. Our powerful, high quality light sources are among the decisive factors ensuring reliable inspection and diagnosis as well as outstanding endoscopic images.
