Handheld Videoscope

with Advanced Image Quality and Functionality

Industrial Videoscope

IPLEX UltraLite

Dramatically improve your field inspections with a palm-sized, ultralight videoscope.

With its durable design and improved performance that allows it to be used in diverse environments, the IPLEX UltraLite is the industry’s choice in handheld remote visual inspections.

ACTUAL SIZE

Outstanding Mobility

With its unique ergonomic design, the IPLEX UltraLite videoscope fits in the palm of your hand. Because it is extremely lightweight, it can be used to perform field inspections with the greatest of ease.

Surprisingly compact and lightweight

The IPLEX UltraLite weighs only 700 g with its lithium-ion battery. This easy-to-use videoscope is so small and light that it is the perfect companion for the inspector who works in areas with limited access or in cramped spaces or has to navigate narrow stair cases or steep ladders.

Palm-sized ergonomic design

The ergonomic IPLEX UltraLite fits snugly into the palm of your hand, and provides speedy, fatigue-free operation even during prolonged inspections.

Outstanding Usability

The IPLEX UltraLite offers intuitive manipulations for efficient, accurate inspections.

Icon-based menus for instant recognition and intuitive operations

IPLEX UltraLite menus feature simple, intuitive icons that let you quickly identify and activate the desired functions.

Quick-access hot buttons

IPLEX UltraLite eliminates complicated menu settings. The

IPLEX UltraLite functions can be easily operated with just one hand. By pressing dedicated, direct-access keys, you can quickly articulate scope tip, record images, adjust brightness, and input text.

Quick, precise scope articulation

The IPLEX UltraLite features quick, precise articulation.

The scope tip instantly and accurately responds to the articulation control and approaches targets precisely, enabling fast, efficient inspections.

Outstanding Quality

With its innovative, compact design, the IPLEX UltraLite offers uncompromising, industry-leading durability and image quality.

Durable chassis withstands drops and falls

The IPLEX UltraLite’s durability has been thoroughly proven. It passes our 1.2 m drop test, and withstands inspection-site drops and falls. The LCD monitor is equipped with a very strong and durable glass, passing a steel-ball drop test compliant with the international standard, IEC-61010.

Insertion tube resists crushing and abrasion

The IPLEX UltraLite’s insertion tube is both crush- and abrasion-resistant. It is also designed with unique Olympus

Tapered Flex ™ technology* for outstanding scope maneuverability. With its durability and graduated flexibility, the IPLEX UltraLite insertion tube enables you to inspect objects inside winding and rough paths.

A crush-resistant steel coil layer makes the insertion tube more durable.

The Tapered

Flex ™ tube* features gradient flexibility for easy scope maneuverability and navigation.

A high-density outer braid provides maximum wear resistance and durability.

A bright LED illumination at the scope tip eliminates the need for fiber optic bundles.

*Available on IV86 series.

Rugged design for reliable operation in harsh environments

Operators are often called on to conduct inspections in difficult environments. The IPLEX UltraLite stands up to rain, sand and dust, and compliant with IP55.

Ideal for outdoor inspections, the IPLEX UltraLite faithfully produces brilliant images, under sunlight.

Sharp live-image and clear movies for reliable observation and analysis

When it comes to remote visual inspections, image quality is one of the highest priorities. The IPLEX UltraLite is equipped with our unique Olympus image processor, and produces sharp and clear images. Along with its superb colour-reproducing capability, the IPLEX UltraLite enables you to accurately detect even small defects.

Observed images can be stored in a connected SD or

SDHC card as high-quality JPEG still images and MPEG-4 movies.

Welded pipe

Outstanding Functionality

The IPLEX UltraLite now offers several new hardware and software features to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of your inspections and analysis.

Extra-bright illumination with versatile optical adaptors

For optimal direction and magnification covering various types of objects, the IPLEX UltraLite offers a comprehensive range of interchangeable optical tip adaptors.The bright LED mounted on the tip adaptors clearly illuminates targets. In addition, Hi-Beam mode is newly equipped on the IPLEX UltraLite, which boosts illumination up to 2X for expanded inspection capability.

InHelp

™

Inspection Assist Software

InHelp, the optional inspection data management and reporting software streamlines many aspects of remote visual inspections with the IPLEX UltraLite. The software greatly improves work efficiency and simplifies inspections by organising stored images on the IPLEX UltraLite and generating detailed inspection reports on a PC with simple click-operation.

Wireless LAN capability ready*

* Confirmed with Toshiba

SD card.

Proven Stereo Measurement*

Our Stereo Measurement technology provides defect measurements from various angles with simple operation. Diverse Stereo Measurement modes including distance, height and depth enable quantitative defect diagnosis.

Additionally, our unique Spot-Ranging™ feature on the IPLEX UltraLite, the industry’s only realtime tip-to-target distance measurement tool, navigates the scope tip to the optimum distance from a target for the most precise measurement on the first try.

*Available on the Stereo Measurement model.
