Introduction:
Congratulations on your investment in the SeeUV®Shaft & Coupler Inspection System (SCIS),
InterTest’s one-inch diameter ultraviolet and white light visual inspection and bore examination system
(VIBES®). This system combines a high-definition color camera with mechanical, robust, and
repeatable positioning hardware for the visual inspection of shafts and coupler components inside
aircraft and aerospace engines. An operator can conduct on-the-spot white light, magnetic particle,
and fluorescent penetrant inspections of intricate components with minimal fixturing.
The SeeUV®Shaft & Coupler Inspection System will be referred to as the “SCIS,” but may include
such descriptions as “Pole Cam” and/or “Pole Cam HD.” Pole Cam and/or Pole Cam HD refers
specifically to the camera hardware mounted on the cart.
Many features enhance SCIS performance and versatility these include:
Generous Movement Envelope
Controlled by either hand or with optional motors, the camera boom travel is 51 inches* horizontally
and 16 inches* vertically.
*movement options in vertical, horizontal, or rotational movement available.
Illumination Control
SCIS has both white and UV light capability. Intensity is controlled independently and operation can be
UV, white, or both simultaneous.
Video Camera
The SCIS has motor driven remote controlled focus to ensure crisp, high- definition video images. They
capture color video at a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels with selectable output formats DVI 1080/30 fps,
720/60 fps or VGA/120 fps.

High-Definition Color Images
Illumination, optics, and CMOS imager are optimized for life-like video reproduction of the target surfaces.
Color rendition replicates direct viewing of surfaces.
Interchangeable Optics
Five optical adapters allow quick tool-less change of direction of view with corresponding options in
field of view (magnification). 0⁰, 45⁰, 60⁰, 90⁰Narrow, 90⁰Wide
To view optic details, see optical adapters here.
