The new IRIS DVRx-WC is a specially manufactured 8mm diameter DVRx video boresocpe with a built in working channel. These videoscopes are constructed with an internal 1.8mm ID channel, to slide through retrieval devices, without exceeding an 8mm outer diameter.The IRIS DVRx-WC has the same color CMOS camera chip as other DRVx units, 4-way tip articulation, with 360 degree rotation, a 90 degree field of view, and the same 5" LCD screen, with image and video capture to an SD memory card, digital zoom, adjustable LED brightness, text input, and a rechargeable battery for portable use. They also feature an additional kit of tools which will slide down the built in channel. These include alligator jaws for grasping, a magnet (capable of lifting a 2 lb. magnetic object) and a reference tool for measurement which exploits the comparative (scalar) measurement function built into these units. The measurement tool is a flat end with a width of 0.050" (1.27mm), used to calibrate or compare to problems areas in the live image. By referring to the manuals you can easily set up this feature to accurately measure cracks or scratches, or distances. This tool should be placed on the surface as close as possible to the defect needing to be measured while ensuring the image is perpendicular to the surface. This is typically highly accurate and is the well known method for accomplishing basic borescopic measurements. It was qualified by Pratt & Whitney (under another manufacturer) for the F100 a few years ago. The standard lengths for IRIS DVRx-WC video borescopes are 2 and 3 meters, and while custom lengths may be available, tools like the alligator jaws will lose their strength over long lengths, as the articulation wires are a small diameter, and cannot also increase.
