Fiberscopes


Also known as boroscopes or endoscopes, these products have a myriad of uses in industrial inspection applications. Excellent resolution from the quartz image array produces a bright, detailed image, while an innovative linkage design allows us to market an articulating scope for almost 50% less than traditional products on the market.

All standard models have the following features:
* Glass lenses.
* 17,000 pixel, high resolution image guide.
* Internal illumination.
* Adjustable focus.
* Durable steel and/or aluminum for bodies and shaft.
* Right angle capability.
* 50 degree field of vision, 70 degree is available.
* All scopes depth of field is .2”(5mm) – 3”(75mm). Videoscope DOF is .2”(5mm) – infinity.
* Foam lined carrying case.
* Battery handle (except .315”, .394” flexible and videoscope, which come with external light guide and light source).
* Xenon Lamp option for battery handle.

Cable Repairs are our Specialty!

Fiber is an amazing material. Made from glass, it can withstand considerable wear and tear. Glass fiber can be tied in a knot, resisting considerable compressive and tensile stress. But even the most rugged designs can fail from mishap or improper use. Working closely with re-conditioning and repair businesses, FTI can refurbish all brands of fiber optic cables used in medical and industrial applications.

For single and bifurcated cables, retractors, surgical headlights, cogen cables, fiber scope light guides, all types of industrial light guides (ring lights, light lines, back lights, etc), quartz light guides, and custom designs, we offer the following:

* Replacement of fiber bundle
* Replacement of outer sheathing (when needed)
* Replacement or repair of end fittings
* 90 day workmanship and material warranty
* 3 to 5 day in-house turnaround. Return shipping via next day delivery

Product Spotlight: Ring Lights


Fiber optic ring lights provide 360º of shadow free, on-axis, uniform, high intensity illumination. Fiber optic ring lights are used in Stereo & Video Microscopy systems, Photography, Metrology, automated inspection and placement machines.

A fiber optic ring light with a quartz-halogen source distributes intense light to the subject, in a small mechanical package optimizing accessibility to the stage and specimen. Using a dichroic mirror at the light source to filter out IR (heat) wavelengths, fiber optic ring lights (fiber optic accessories in general) transmit "cold" light.

Typical color temperature of the output ranges from 3200°-3450°Kelvin.

Because the light reflects off the subject in a 360º arc, ring lights have proven to be effective in minimizing shadows. When used with a polarizer set, ring lights are also effective solutions for minimizing specular reflection and glare.

FTI manufactures a family of fiber optic ring lights unsurpassed in quality and performance. Exceptional output uniformity, mounting ease, and a large selection of customizing options and accessories make the product family adaptable to any need.

Launch of a high power White LED light engine

The patent pending device will be certified under the UL medical protocol 2026-01-02-03, and will be CE certified. This will be the first FDA approved light source for medical applications in FTI’s portfolio.

Using a very simple but effective coupling strategy, engineers at FTI can couple the light from a monocolor array to a fiber optic cable at high efficiency rates. The resulting output exceeds the power of a similarly coupled EKE halogen lamp.

The company plans to provide a product with true color balance, excellent uniformity, improved electrical efficiency, along with a measureable return on investment (ROI) in a small package. The unit is compatible in size to existing lighting technology, and can replace it without altering existing systems or components.

“After three years of research and development, our team has made the breakthrough we have been waiting for, and now we’re very excited to demonstrate our capability”, said Steve Giamundo, the company’s VP of Sales and Marketing.
FTI’s LED light engine technology provides the following features:

* More power than an EKE lamp within a 5mm focal spot.
* Long life (50000) hours – no lamp to change.
* Stable output throughout the usable life.
* Active heat management with integral cooling fan.
* Available in a white-only version.
* 6000K color temperature

The company plans to offer Beta units for test and evaluation to interested OEMs as well as end-users before starting full production in the fall. The core light engine is available for sale immediately.
