Gradient Lens Corporation designs, manufactures, and sells over 80 models of Hawkeye® Precision Borescopes. We have been making optically precise, professional borescopes for more than 30 years.

Our reliance on large-scale machinery has grown greatly over the past few decades, making it more important than ever to ensure the reliability, efficiency, and safety of our day-to-day use of these systems.

Industry 4.0 represents the fourth and newest phase of the Industrial Revolution, one that is centered around interconnectivity, automation, machine learning, and real-time data. 

Advancements in technology continue to enhance the capabilities of all areas of industrial quality and process control, and this is certainly the case within the various disciplines of nondestructive testing (NDT). 

Titan Tool Supply, Inc. announced its new TVS-35 Series Videoscope to provide remote visual inspection for aviation maintenance, casting and cavity inspection, diesel and gasoline engine repair, or locomotive and ship maintenance. 

Recently borescope manufacturers have been introducing high definition video borescopes to the market. It is important to understand the benefits of this new technology and what it will mean for your inspection program.

The introduction of the PC and the increasing functionality of integrated circuits created a new market for PC-based single-board computers, frame grabbers, I/O peripherals, graphics, and communications boards—the building blocks of today’s embedded electronics and machine vision systems. 

Industrial endoscopes once included only rigid borescopes and flexible fiberscopes using coherent optical fiber bundles.

Remote Visual Inspection equipment has existed since an inspector could pair a mirror with a flashlight.
