The Waygate Technologies Mentor Visual iQ VideoProbe is available in three customized platform configurations to meet inspection needs across industries and applications. Working through access passages, the Visual iQ system delivers high-resolution images of internal details of turbine engines, airframes, automotive engines, piping, vessels, wind turbine gear boxes, underwater structures, etc.

Probes come with a tip head guard to protect the threads, which is highly recommended for use without an optical tip. If you use the probe without the head guard or an optical tip you will damage the threads, which is costly to repair. Optical tips are sold separately.

Mentor Visual iQ Analyze

The Analyze model uses the same probes and interface as the Touch and takes the upgrades even further. In addition to the 32GB of internal memory and software you’ll also automatically get the stereo, 3D phase, and 3D stereo measurement upgrades as well as the “Probability of Detection” upgrade, which includes:

– High-Dynamic Range (HDR)
– Adaptive Noise Reduction
– Distortion Correction
– Preset Image Transformations

All models of the Visual iQ come with a carrying case. You choose from the rolling carry-on version or the larger work station model that includes a pole mount handset holder and accessory storage pouch.
