Core offering

ViewTech Borescopes manufactures and sells articulating video borescopes for remote visual inspection (RVI) of hard-to-reach areas in engines, turbines, compressors, and industrial equipment. The company offers two main product lines — the VJ-3 and the newer VJ-4 — with insertion tube diameters from 0.85mm to 8.4mm, plus specialized variants including UV, IR, dual/triple camera, far focus, and 3D measurement borescopes. Customers across aviation, aerospace, automotive, oil & gas, power generation, chemical processing, and manufacturing can purchase, rent, or demo the equipment directly from the company.

Product overview

ViewTech Borescopes is a North America-based provider of remote visual inspection equipment, offering two main video borescope product lines: the VJ-3 and VJ-4 series. The VJ-3 series includes models ranging from 1.7mm to 6.0mm diameters with standard features like LED illumination, image capture, and joystick-controlled articulation. The VJ-4 series is an enhanced generation featuring a broader diameter range from 0.85mm to 8.4mm, including advanced capabilities such as 3D measurement and triple camera options. Both series offer specialized variants including Dual Camera, Far Focus, Ultraviolet (UV) for pharmaceutical CIP inspection, and Infrared (IR) for night vision applications. The company also provides rental options, a free demo program for equipment evaluation, and Odin Borescope Report Maker software for documentation. ViewTech was established in 2008 (originally as RF System Lab) and is headquartered in Traverse City, Michigan.
