UB-BS550 Articulating Borescope

When the part cannot come to the bench, the bench goes to the part. A two-way articulating tip steers around corners and past obstructions, the IP67 probe shrugs off oil and coolant, and every finding lands on screen with photo evidence attached.

Overview

Teardown time is the expensive kind

Pulling a cylinder head or cutting into a duct to "have a look" costs hours before the actual fault is even found. The BS550 inverts that: the probe goes in through an existing port, the articulation thumbwheel steers the tip to the suspicion zone, and the answer appears on the screen in under a minute.

The probe is fully sealed to IP67 — dip it in coolant, wipe it down, keep going. The dimmable LED ring adapts from wide engine-bay cavities to narrow pipe interiors, and captures export as standard image files your service reports can quote directly.

  • Real steering, not flex-only — the thumbwheel articulates the tip 180° two-way
  • Three probe diameters — 3.9 mm for spark-plug ports, 5.5 / 8.0 mm for general cavities
  • Cable to your depth — 1, 3, 5 or 10 m, specified per fleet or per trade
  • Evidence export — photo/video files with your branding for customer-facing reports

Applications

Trades that look inside things

Automotive & engines

Cylinder walls, valve seats, turbo impellers and injectors — diagnose through the spark-plug port, quote before teardown.

HVAC & plumbing

Duct interiors, drain lines and wall cavities — find the blockage or leak path before opening a single panel.

Manufacturing QC

Weld roots, cast cavities and assembly verification in places a camera head cannot reach by hand.

FAQ

BS550 — common questions

Which probe diameter should we stock?

Automotive fleets usually standardise on 5.5 mm — small enough for most ports, robust in daily use. Aviation and precision trades choose 3.9 mm; plumbing and duct work often prefer 8.0 mm for the wider view. We can bundle diameters in one order.

How durable is the articulation mechanism?

The steering tensioner is designed for thousands of articulation cycles in field conditions. Service kits and spare probes are available for programme customers — ask about spares provisioning when you enquire.

Can it connect to our workshop tablets?

Yes — the USB output presents a standard video device, and we can provide an SDK or branded capture app for your tablets via the software programme.
