Videoscopes & Borescopes
IPLEX NX Videoscope
The IPLEX NX video borescope combines our highest-quality images with an intuitive user interface, ergonomic design, and durability for efficient inspection in nearly any environment.
- 3D modeling enables you to clearly see the shape and complexity of your target
- Precisely designate your measurement points for faster inspections
- Choose the right points the first time to minimize the need to re-measure
Measure with Confidence Using 3D Modeling
Choosing the right measurement point is now even easier. 3D modeling with the IPLEX NX video 3D borescope enables you to see the details of what you’re inspecting from multiple angles, making it easier to specify the exact location of your measurement points.

Our Highest Quality Images
The IPLEX NX video 3D borescope delivers crisp, high-resolution images.
Its reliable image quality increases your probability of detection, helping you make clear decisions
and maintain crucial systems.
See Clearly
Exceptional image clarity enables you to see tiny defects in stunning detail.
See More
Laser diode illumination system is up to 4 times brighter than conventional video borescopes.
Expanded Measurement Capabilities
Easy-to-use advanced stereo measurement offers expanded coverage for fast, efficient inspections.
See the Big Picture
- Super wide stereo measurement increases the measurable area by 4x* as compared to a conventional model
- Easily measure the distance of a crack in a combustion chamber or a defect in the blade root
*When contrasted with a conventional 6.0 mm diameter scope with a direct viewing stereo optical adaptor.
Convenient Scalar Measurement
- Simply define a reference line to use scalar measurement without changing the tip adaptor
Real-time Measurement with Multi Spot-Ranging
- The unique Multi Spot-Ranging function enables real-time measurement of the distance from the scope tip to multiple points on the inspection surface
- Get real-time surface shape information without stopping the inspection
Large Touch-Screen Monitor
Vivid touch-screen delivers clear, bright images for excellent visibility in a range of lighting conditions.
Efficiency
Efficient Inspections
The IPLEX NX video 3D borescope is simple to operate and user friendly. Even during long inspections, the borescope’s comfort and maneuverability help make the job easier.
Flexible Multi-Position Design
- Configure the video 3D borescope six ways to maximize comfort
- Position the monitor for maximum visibility;
it can even be detached from the main unit - Optional handheld remote provides light, tactile control
Internal Working Channel Scope
With similar functionality and capability as a standard insertion tube, the working channel scope is a useful backup while offering the versatility to use it to detect and remove foreign object debris (FOD). Don’t get caught with a plane on the ground—add a working channel scope to your kit, so it’s there when you need it.
Interchangeable 6.2 mm (0.24 in.) diameter scope with internal working channel
Internal Retrieval Tools
Six internal retrieval tools enable you to remove foreign objects and perform hook-and-drag inspections in aircraft engines.

Grasper
Basket
Magnet
Snare
Hook
Responsive True Feel Articulation
- Fast, responsive articulation
- Easily control the scope through lightweight, comfortable operation that helps reduce fatigue
Interchangeable Scope for Multiple Jobs
- Pick the appropriate scope for the job
- 6.0 mm scopes ranging in length from 3.5 m (11.5 ft.) to 7.5 m (24.6 ft.) and 4.0 mm scopes with lengths of 3.5 m (11.5 ft.) and 5 m (16 ft.)
Compare Live and Stored Images
- Ghost image function enables you to compare live images with images stored on the video borescope to contrast past and present conditions
- Monitor changes in a component over time
Other Features
