The 3D Phase Measurement is a new approach to video borescope measurement in aerospace and rotating equipment ap-plications. The new measurement technology enables inspectors to both view and measure a defect using a single tip optic, eliminatingtheextrastepsrequiredtobackout,changethetipandthenrelocatethedefect.Ineffect,3DPhaseMeasurementprovides accurate measurement “on-demand”while saving time and increasing overall inspection productivity. The XLG3 Vid-eoProbe with 3D Phase Measurement is one of the most advanced and technically powerful visual inspection tools available.

The 3D Phase Measurement combined with the XLG3 creates a 3D surface scan of the viewing area and can measure all aspectsofsurfaceindicationsusinga3Dscan.TheprobecreatesanewtypeofmeasurementcalledProfileView,acrosssec-tion view of the surface, allowing inspectors to better visualize the shape and characteristics of an indication and make a well informed decision on the serviceability of the asset.
