As a detection equipment in the industrial production process, the industrial endoscope is fully applied to the industrial field because it can penetrate into the equipment and detect areas that cannot be directly observed by the naked eye. However, some users feel that the use effect is somewhat deviated during use, so we need to understand the requirements of the industrial endoscope for the use environment in order to better choose the endoscope with the best use effect.
| Temperature: Industrial endoscopes are usually suitable for ambient temperatures of -10℃ to 70℃. If the temperature is too high, the electronic components of the endoscope may overheat, accelerate the aging of the components, or even damage them, such as causing the image sensor to perform poorly, increase image noise, and color distortion. If the temperature is too low, the probe, cable, and other components of the endoscope may become hard and brittle, and easily break and damage. |

Humidity: It is generally recommended that the relative humidity of the use environment be between 10% and 90%, without condensation. Excessive humidity can easily cause short circuits in the internal circuits of the endoscope and damage electronic components; optical components may also become moldy and foggy due to moisture, affecting the clarity and quality of the image.
Dust: Industrial endoscopes should be used as far as possible in high-dust environments. A large amount of dust may adhere to the lens, affecting the quality of image acquisition and causing blurred images; if dust enters the interior of the endoscope, it may also wear out the internal precision components and affect the normal operation of the equipment.

Corrosive substances: It is strictly forbidden to use in environments with corrosive gases (such as chlorine, hydrogen sulfide, etc.) or liquids (such as strong acids and strong alkali solutions). These corrosive substances can corrode the metal parts, probes, cables, etc. of industrial endoscopes, shorten the service life of the equipment, and even damage the equipment instantly. |
Keep away from strong electromagnetic interference sources such as large motors, transformers, and radars. Because strong electromagnetic interference may affect the signal transmission of industrial endoscopes, causing problems such as flickering, distortion, and deformation of images, and in severe cases may even cause the equipment to crash or lose data. Before use, the electromagnetic environment of the use environment should be evaluated to ensure that the electromagnetic intensity around the equipment is within the allowable range.
Operation space: The use site should have sufficient operation space to facilitate the inspectors to operate the endoscope, stretch and move the various parts of the equipment. Too narrow and crowded space will not only bring difficulties to operation, increase the difficulty and time of detection, but also may cause accidental collision and squeezing of the endoscope during operation, causing damage to the equipment.
Irregular internal space: It is necessary to select an endoscope with a suitable field of view and depth of field according to the caliber and depth of the internal space used. For example, a small caliber and a large cavity may cause insufficient light source to affect the image effect.
Light conditions: Although the industrial endoscope has its own lighting device, the external light conditions cannot be too bad. Appropriate external light makes it easier for inspectors to observe the external conditions of the equipment, as well as to connect and debug the endoscope equipment. If the light is too dark, it may affect the inspectors' judgment of the overall detection environment and equipment, and increase the risk of operational errors.
