How are Industrial Endoscopes Used to Inspect Automobiles?

Industrial endoscopes play a key role in automobile inspection. By inserting the endoscope into the interior of the equipment being inspected,they allow for a visual examination of the internal structure and component condition, thus enabling fault diagnosis and localization. The following outlines the specific methods and application scenarios of Shenzhen VSNDT industrial endoscopes in automobile inspection:

Inspection Methods and Principles

An industrial endoscope consists of a lens, light source, image transmission, and control components. During inspection, the endoscope's lens and light source are introduced into the area of ​​the automobile requiring inspection. The image transmission system displays the internal conditions in real-time on an external screen, allowing inspectors to clearly observe details that are otherwise invisible.

 

Application Scenarios

Engine Inspection:

Cylinder Inspection: The endoscope probe is inserted into the cylinder through the spark plug hole or fuel injector to observe various faults inside the cylinder, such as carbon deposits, foreign objects, cylinder wall wear, piston ring wear and jamming, etc. This method is more accurate and efficient than traditional sound-based diagnosis.

Piston and Crankshaft Inspection: Observe the wear of the piston top and skirt, the wear and jamming of the piston rings, and the wear of the crankshaft journals and bearings to determine the working condition of these critical components.

Transmission Inspection:

Insert the endoscope insertion tube or probe through the oil filler hole, vent hole, or power take-off hole to check for gear damage, synchronizer damage, automatic transmission clutch working condition, shift fork position, transmission oil level and oil quality, etc.

Rear Axle Inspection:

Inspect the gears, bearings, and differential gears of the main drive in the automobile's rear axle housing for damage and their working condition. Adjusting the wheel movement ensures a comprehensive inspection of the gears.

Battery Inspection (for New Energy Vehicles):

Inspect the alignment and burrs of the power battery electrodes, as well as external defects in the battery packaging, such as wrinkles, dents, pinching, scaling and damage to the battery edges, scratches, and pits.

Body and Chassis Inspection:

Inspect the condition of internal components of the car body, such as door locks, window regulators, seat adjusters, etc., as well as potential problems in the chassis structure. Brake system inspection:

Used to inspect the condition of internal components of the braking system, such as brake discs, brake pads, and calipers, in order to identify and repair potential faults.

Exterior inspection:

Inspects the quality of the car's surface coating and paintwork, checking for issues such as pinholes, perforations, and scratches, providing guidance for subsequent repairs and repainting.

Advantages

Non-destructive testing: Avoids potential damage to equipment caused by traditional testing methods.

High definition: With high-definition image acquisition capabilities, allowing for clear observation of internal details and structures of the equipment.

Intuitive: Allows for intuitive observation of internal faults and problems, providing strong support for fault diagnosis and localization.

Efficient: Can quickly complete inspection tasks, improving inspection efficiency and quality.

In summary, industrial endoscopes have broad application prospects and significant value in automotive inspection. With continuous technological advancements and expanding applications, they will play an even more important role in the automotive industry.
