For inspections that will never again fail due to diameter.

If changing the viewing direction means conversion time, adapters are missing or the access diameter is simply too small – then the tool is blocking the work, not the test case. The FM series has been developed in such a way that precisely these three problems do not arise.

Response within 24 hours

Never again with the FM Series
Rebuilding between inspections

Other endoscopes require time-consuming conversion work whenever the viewing direction changes. The FM Series quick-lock system makes that obsolete — switch in seconds, zero time lost.

Never again with the FM Series
Expensive adapters and incompatibility

Manufacturer-specific connectors are costly and inconvenient. The FM Series integrates seamlessly into existing systems and continues to use existing light cables — no extra costs, no system change.

Never again with the FM Series
Too large for the inspection access

Bores, valve seats and bearings from 1.6 mm diameter remain inaccessible to many borescopes. The FM Series starts at Ø 1.6 mm — delivering full image quality through high-resolution sapphire glass optics.

Frequently asked questions - Rigid endoscope series FM

What is special about the FM series compared to other rigid endoscopes?

The FM series impresses with its extremely small minimum diameter from 1.6 mm, the quick-locking system for changing the viewing angle in seconds and direct compatibility with existing systems. Compact design, no rotating mechanics – ideal for frequently changing, precise inspection tasks.

For which applications is the FM series suitable?

The FM series is ideal for visual inspections in narrow access areas: Bores, valves, hydraulic lines, bearings and gears. Wherever diameter and accessibility are crucial – in the automotive industry, in mechanical engineering and in quality assurance.

What diameters are available for the FM series?

The FM series is available from 1.6 mm for the finest access channels to 4.5 mm for larger visual inspections.

What does quick locking system mean - and how does it benefit me?

The quick-locking system allows you to switch between endoscopes without tools and without wasting time. No conversion, no complicated mechanisms – you can change viewing direction or endoscope in no time at all.

With which light sources is the FM series compatible?

The FM series is compatible with all common stationary and mobile light sources – cold light, LED and fiber optics. Existing light cables can still be used without any problems.

Are different viewing angles included in one device or available separately?

The 0°, 30°, 70° and 90° viewing angles are available as separate variants. Thanks to the quick-locking system, they can be exchanged in no time at all – flexibly and without having to purchase several complete endoscopes.
