Endoscopy Reveals Damage

Endoscopy is a reliable method for determining the extent and severity of damage in machines and plants.


Visual inspection provides a quick, cost efficient and precise diagnosis.
Endoscopy allows experts to carry out a visual inspection of machine elements inside a machine within a space of a few hours. Being an imaging inspection method, it provides concrete information about the condition of rolling bearings, gears and other machine elements – without requiring any time-consuming, costly dismounting work.
If any damage is detected by means of condition monitoring (e.g. vibration diagnosis), a detailed damage analysis can be carried out with the help of endoscopy. Without requiring any time-consuming, costly dismounting work, this visual inspection allows users to look into a machine. The images are saved in the form of photos or videos and form the basis for a more in-depth diagnosis. This allows experts to obtain more detailed information about the severity and development of damage in defective machine elements. Typical applications are industrial, marine or wind turbine gear boxes. Being an imaging inspection method, endoscopy provides concrete information about the condition of rolling bearings, gears and other machine elements.
