MViQ+ retains all the proven features of its predecessor. Leveraging TrueSight Imaging, users can capture high-resolution live video and still images with a 1.2-megapixel sensor enabling robust digital zoom. High image resolution, precision optics, and features such as HDR, DarkBoost, and adaptive noise reduction significantly improve the likelihood of detection.
(Waygate Technologies: Hürth, Germany) — Waygate Technologies, a Baker Hughes business and market leader in nondestructive testing (NDT) solutions for industrial inspection, has introduced Everest Mentor Visual iQ+, the latest version of its Everest Mentor Visual iQ VideoProbe.
Latest in video probe product line features upgraded CPU
The MVIQ+ also introduces updates to the steering and articulation engine, supporting consistent performance over time. The high-power steering motors not only extend the articulation range and performance but also ensure consistent response and feel tied to user input. The solution offers a diverse selection of interchangeable probe diameter and length options, providing flexibility to meet a variety of inspection needs.
The redesigned housing provides a robust and adaptable functionality.
Optimized efficiency in gas turbine inspections
Mentor Visual iQ+ delivers comprehensive inspection findings with minimal setup.

Enhanced ease of use and performance are seamlessly integrated through voice control, enabling inspectors to execute common tasks hands-free while maneuvering and steering the probe. Using a purpose-designed, built-in, far-field microphone array and specialized audio system, adjusting brightness, initiating measurements, and other commands are possible with a straightforward verbal prompt starting with “Hey Mentor,” unlocking a multitude of possibilities. Additionally, the “Learn More” content is directly embedded in the MViQ+ operating system, offering users convenient access to training materials for further guidance and assistance.
High-quality measurement and image
Using advanced analytics for novel inspection approaches, the state-of-the-art video borescope technology harnesses artificial intelligence and machine learning to enhance data quality and reduce inspection time for critical inspections across multiple sectors, including aviation and power generation.
Moreover, Real3D Measurement provides on-demand measurements with real-time cursor adjustment within the full-field point cloud. It facilitates creating and measuring larger areas through 3D stitching, and offers up to 12 measurement types, including automated measurements, to assist the inspector for accurate and efficient results. New capabilities such as “Missing Corner” provide the area of a missing blade, and “Surface Angle” measures the deflection of tip curl during blade inspections.

With no setup requirements, MViQ+ uses machine learning to automatically identify blades and other components within a gas turbine. A two-way turning-tool integration allows motor control directly from MViQ+, streamlining the entire inspection process. The integrated tool offers onscreen options, facilitating rotation control directly from the borescope handset. This adds substantial value to gas turbine inspections, catering to both aviation and power-generation applications.
‘Hey Mentor’ and voice-activated commands
However, someone has to pay for this content. And that’s where advertising comes in.
