Hightech in the Smallest Space

Inspection in very small and difficult-to-access spaces.

The minCord 5 is designed for inspection work where conventional push cameras are simply too large. Its 13 mm KK13 camera allows access from 15 mm diameter, while the flexible 15 m push cable provides useful reach through small pipes, cavities and internal components.

Its compact format also makes it suitable for non-destructive visual inspection where unnecessary dismantling or intrusive investigation would otherwise be required.
