GE Mentor Visual iQ VideoProbe

The GE Inspection Technologies Mentor Visual iQ VideoProbe is available in three customized platform configurations to meet inspection needs across industries and applications. Working through access passages, the Visual iQ system delivers high-resolution images of internal details of turbine engines, airframes, automotive engines, piping, vessels, wind turbine gear boxes, underwater structures, etc.



Mentor Visual iQ Analyze

Probes come with a tip head guard to protect the threads, which is highly recommended for use without an optical tip. If you use the probe without the head guard or an optical tip you will damage the threads, which is costly to repair. Optical tips are sold separately.



The Inspect version is the base model with 16GB internal memory. It, like the other two models, features high resolution image quality, high intensity LED light engine, and advanced image processing for improved image brightness. All models come with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, network drive mapping, and are InspectionWorks live-streaming ready. The Inspect only uses hard button and joystick interface and it’s not compatible with the QuickChange probes, so the probe you choose is set, but you can change the tip.



By upgrading to the Touch version you gain a touch screen in addition to the hard buttons and joystick interface. This model works with the QuickChange probes and other custom probes like the LongSteerm, UV, and 6.2mm working channel probe. The Touch includes double the internal memory and gives you access to the menu directed inspection software suite for image management and reporting.



The Analyze model uses the same probes and interface as the Touch and takes the upgrades even further. In addition to the 32GB of internal memory and software you’ll also automatically get the stereo, 3D phase, and 3D stereo measurement upgrades as well as the ‘Probability of Detection’ upgrade, which includes:

– High-Dynamic Range (HDR)

– Adaptive Noise Reduction

– Distortion Correction

– Preset Image Transformations



All models of the Visual iQ come with a carrying case. You choose from the rolling carry-on version or the larger work station model that includes a pole mount handset holder and accessory storage pouch.
