Flexible optical inspection system

摘要: An inspection instrument is fabricated with segments of limited controllable flexure disposed between an objective segment and a control head. The are provided interior frame members to maintain generally rigid configuration, the variation in providing stair-climbing-like capability which advantageous for clearing obstructions area being examined. Articulation two dimensions within each segments. Control lines thread through contact at distal ends effect independent pivoting among proximal connect manipulative head manual articulation.
