In the marine industry, diesel engines and power transmission systems are complex in structure, large in size, and mostly operate in closed spaces. The use of industrial endoscopes can visualize and inspect the key components without dismantling the machine, effectively improving the overhaul efficiency and safety, and ensuring the reliability and economy of ship operation.
Typical Inspection Areas:
1. Diesel Engine Cylinder Liners and Pistons
Inspect the cylinder liner surface for wear, scratches, and deposits; evaluate carbon buildup and signs of burning on the piston crown.
2. Fuel Injectors
Check for clogged nozzle holes, carbon buildup, and burning on the injector tip.
3. Turbocharger Blades
Detect blade cracks, deformation, and foreign object damage to prevent power loss.
4. Exhaust Valves
Inspect valve surface wear, carbon deposits, and sealing condition.
5. Propeller Shaft and Tail Shaft Tube
Use long insertion probes to detect corrosion, cracks, and lubrication issues in the shaft core areas.
6. Weld Inspection
Evaluate weld integrity and identify defects such as porosity, incomplete fusion, and cracks.
7. Hydraulic/Pneumatic Pipeline Inspection
Inspect the inner walls of pipelines for corrosion, deposits, leakage sources, or blockages.
The use of industrial borescopes is becoming the new norm in marine maintenance. With rapid and accurate internal visual inspection, they enhance inspection efficiency and provide solid support for safe vessel operation.
