THE SIGHT-PIPE®

SIGHT-PIPE® are essentially one piece borescopes fabricated from optical grade materials. They provide a practical solution for viewing and/or gaging internal “difficult to inspect” characteristics. Instert the SIGHT-PIPE® into a machined bore, and look into the top of the head. You will see a well lit image of the interior sidewall of the bore, which you can inspect for burrs, porosity, cracks or other visual characteristic or defect.

Machine Vision Systems

Custom designed SIGHT-PIPES® ready to be connected to a machine vision camera.

Gap Detection Gages

Used to visually confirm intake and exhaust valve seat inserts have been fully pressed into the bottom of the pocket on the cylinder head.

Height Stand Gages

Thanks to our new Optical Height Gage System, previously difficult to measure internal and external depth dimensions can now be easily and accurately measured optically.

Optical Height Stands

Crosshatch Measurement Gage

Used by engine manufacturers to inspect cylinder wall surfaces and hone pattern angles in cylinder liners and cylinder bores.
