Borescope for Metal Casting Inspections

Casting is a manufacturing process used to make countless metal objects every day. Many of these metal pieces are extremely intricate and are used as parts to make up larger complex machines, systems, or units, such as engines, turbines, medical equipment, etc. Therefore, inspecting these metal castings before and during use is beneficial to maintaining the systems they make up.

A rigid or flexible borescope is often the easiest, most efficient, and fastest way to inspect the finer details of critical areas. A borescope can reach all the small dark and otherwise impossible-to-visualize places in metal castings. Using such an inspection device will allow you to observe for burs, voids, or defects on the surface of the metal, FOD (foreign object debris) that would otherwise be extremely hard to visualize. This will allow manufacturers to ensure the quality of their products. With video borescopes, images can be saved as pictures or videos or displayed on a screen for others to view.
