Series 127000 Fiberscopes

ITI Does More Than Build Great Scopes... We Make Them Last!

Featuring ProTecht® over-torque design

ProTecht®: unequaled scope protection. It's patented, it's innovative and it's light years ahead of the competition. ITI's ProTecht® over-torque design significantly reduces costly accidental cable damage within the fiberscope that occurs when: the operator tries to articulate the tip when the tip is constrained. the operator tries to withdraw the fiberscope from an access hole before the tip has been straightened.

ProTecht® over-torque prevention feature virtually eliminates such common breakage. The benefits are clear: Longer scope life Reduced downtime and repair costs Less operator fatigue Overall lower lifetime cost yielding lower inspection costs

Superior Body Design

Easy to Use Comfortable to Hold ITI’s extensive test research has resulted in a uniquely functional fiberscope body design that’s comfortable, easily maneuverable, and high-impact-tough. Finger Tip Control The smooth, slim control body allows comfortable fingertip access for actuating the articulation knobs while ITI’s exclusive swivel light guide permits either right or left hand operation. Ratchet Control With lock engaged, each step in the ratchet control offers approximately 20° of articulation angle an added benefit for documentation of defect location. Brake/Ratchet Another innovative ITI feature is easy access to the brake/ratchet control buttons one for each axis of articulation. Readily depressed with the same hand that holds the fiberscope, these controls lock articulation in place and enable incremental articulation angle control. Impact Resistant ITI’s body cover is molded of tough, impact-resistant urethane, then moisture sealed for dependable, trouble-free operation.

Reliable Resolution

A larger, sharper and more brilliant image: outstanding fiber resolution has helped establish ITI Fiberscopes as the most desirable in the world. Each coherent fiber bundle is meticulously fabricated. The smallest, highest quality glass fibers are configured within the image bundle to maximize packing density - then leached, resulting in superior optical image quality while yielding a truly flexible bundle.

Unparalleled Articulation Performance

ITI’s patented articulation control results in smooth scanning with immediate, positive response: only ITI fiberscopes allow the operator to rotate the articulation control knob to a specific position, release the knob, and have the tip remain in position reducing both operator and instrument fatigue. Whether operated by the right or left hand, ITI's proprietary articulation control provides smooth, immediate response tip motion. Incremental articulation angle control is easy to access; each step of the brake/rachet results in approximately 20° of articulation angle - especially helpful for documentation of defect location.

Choice of Probe Jackets

As added safeguards for delicate fiber image bundles, illumination fibers, and control cables, ITI wraps all fiberscopes in a triple-layer of protection, safety-sealed against moisture. First, internal components are enclosed in a rugged, stainless steel monocoil wrapper, providing crush-resistance while maintaining flexibility. Customers may then choose between a Urethane or a Tungsten outer jacket.

Urethane Jacket

Tough plastic jacket featuring ITI’s exclusive insertion scale printed on the jacket’s exterior for convenient determination of insertion depth.

Tungsten Jacket

An extremely flexible smooth tungsten braid jacket for difficult and abrasive environments.

Choice of Viewing Heads

3, 4 & 5mm dia Fiberscopes Interchangeable Viewing Heads to provide either Forward (F) or Right Angle (RA) Line-of-Sight 6, 8 & 12mm dia Fiberscopes Eight (8) Interchangeable Viewing Heads to provide four (4) different Fields-of-View (FOV) in either Forward (F) or Right Angle (RA) Line-of-Sight

Life Test

Every ITI Fiberscope design is cycle tested to insure extended field life. Fiberscopes are articulated over 200,000 cycles, with and without the tip constrained. The design is validated only when the tested scope meets its original articulation specifications.
