| THE POWER OF ARTICULATION

That statement sounds like a motivational seminar or something. Geez... what was our
copywriter thinking??? We'll we get lots of calls asking us to explain this function over
the phone (That is difficult), basically as you can see here- the motion is much like that
of taking your index finger and curling it back towards your wrist. Now imagine for moment
if one of your eyes were attached to the end of your finger and you could rotate it like
this! That would allow you to see at all different angles. That is what an articulating
fiberscope or flexible borescope can do to aid in your internal viewing challenges. This
animation above should help with answering this question as a picture is worth a thousand
words, and an animation should be worth at least a thousand pictures (... well maybe 20 or
so that make up this animation). What you are seeing here is the motion of a 2 way
articulating fiberscope (borescope). Specifically this movie shows the + and - 120 degree
motion of the tip of our general purpose articulating borescope (P/N FFPACK3/4 or P/N
FFSLA1). The motion you see is controlled by a small lever on the eyepiece of the
borescope that is pushed one direction to rotate the tip left and pushed in the other
direction to rotate the tip right. Now you might also say one direction is down and the
other is up, or clockwise/counter clockwise, etc. Our 4 way articulating scopes have an
additional 2 directions for up/down/left/right motion all in control. Of course, you can
get the same motion with a 2 way articulation scope by rotating it 90 degrees about it's
axis to get the other directions. We have of course several models designed with both 2
and 4 way articulation that offer this valuable function for inspections where a rigid
scope just will not do the job. Articulation is a powerful feature and one of the reasons
why these instruments can save YOU $1000.00's in unneccesary equipment disassembly and
teardown costs by being able to view inside your engine, pump, turbine, HVAC, Wall, cavity
or other inaccessible area. Although we are happy to sell our non-articulating scopes...
we want to encourage you to consider this feature as an important one.
Don't settle for a NON-articulating borescope, fiberscope, videoscope or
rigid scope from another supplier or us even if you can afford this feature- you may
regret it in the long run if you don't spend the extra money up front for the power of
articulation...
