Breakthrough in Domestic Industrial borescope Technology: How Does the Coantec Industrial Borescope Achieve 360° Precise Rotation?

The flexibility and reliability of borescope probe rotation are core elements ensuring the ability to detect critical corners and uncover potential problems. In the field of modern industrial inspection, accurate and reliable inspection tools are crucial for ensuring the safe and stable operation of equipment. Coantec's industrial borescope, with its superior rotation performance and high reliability, stands out among many similar products, becoming a benchmark in the industry.

Today, we will delve into the precision manufacturing process and technical principles behind 360° blind-spot-free inspection, revealing how this industrial borescope achieves comprehensive, high-precision inspection through advanced rotation technology.

Precision Materials and Manufacturing Processes The core of the Coantec industrial borescope lies in its snake-bone structure made of super-elastic nickel-titanium alloy. This material not only possesses high resilience and fatigue resistance but also ensures micron-level precision with each micro-joint only 0.5-1mm thick. Through five-axis linkage precision milling, the contour accuracy can reach ±0.02mm, and the surface roughness is controlled within Ra 0.2μm. This meticulous manufacturing process ensures high bending freedom and a low coefficient of friction after assembly, providing the probe with unparalleled flexibility.

During production, each joint undergoes meticulous inspection using a high-magnification microscope to ensure its quality meets the highest standards. These measures work together to enable the probe to operate flexibly in complex environments while maintaining extremely high durability.

High-Efficiency Guide Wire System

To achieve precise steering, Coantec uses 304-grade austenitic stainless steel wire with a diameter of 0.1-0.5mm as the guide wire. These wires have a tensile strength exceeding 2000MPa and are evenly distributed around the circumference of the conduit, effectively reducing stress concentration and improving overall fatigue life. Each wire undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure it can withstand the demands of working under extreme conditions.

The wire is precisely passed through pre-set guide channels in the snake-like structure, with both ends anchored to the distal guide joint and the proximal operating mechanism, respectively. This design not only improves operational convenience but also significantly enhances detection efficiency.

Application of Differential Traction Principle

The probe's steering is based on the differential traction principle. When the right-side steel wire tightens, the left-side steel wire loosens, causing the probe to bend to the left; conversely, the left-side wire bends to the right. A single joint supports ±160° bidirectional deflection, and when connected in series, it achieves ≥360° full-range coverage. The coaxiality error of each hinge point does not exceed φ0.05mm, ensuring the accuracy of the steering vector. This design not only improves operational convenience but also greatly enhances inspection efficiency.

Strict Quality Control and Testing Standards

Coantec understands that quality is the lifeline of a product. Therefore, Coantec conducts tens of thousands of cycle durability tests based on reliability testing standards, simulating extreme working conditions to ensure stable steering accuracy. From microscopic quality inspection to macroscopic overall performance evaluation, no detail is overlooked in any step, striving for excellence.

Coantec's industrial borescopes are not merely simple inspection tools; they are the product of a perfect combination of materials science, precision machining, structural design, and rigorous quality control. Superelastic nickel-titanium alloy, micron-level tolerances, differential traction, microscopic inspection, and standard verification together constitute this systematic engineering achievement. In the future, we will continue to dedicate ourselves to technological innovation and provide our users with more advanced and reliable testing equipment.
