Remote Visual Inspection (RVI) Services

Advanced borescope inspection for gearboxes, shafts and rotating equipment

What Is Remote Visual Inspection (RVI)?

Remote Visual Inspection (RVI) is a non‑intrusive inspection technique used to examine internal components of gearboxes, making it ideal for remote visual inspection for gearboxes without disassembly. Using high‑resolution borescopes and videoscopes, MDE‑RVI provides fast, independent and highly detailed inspections for wind, industrial and maritime applications.

RVI allows engineers to assess wear, damage and contamination inside critical drivetrain components while keeping downtime to a minimum.

Equipment We Use

The core of our RVI work is performed with the Waygate Mentor Flex, a professional-grade videoscope used for borescope gearbox inspection in demanding environments. This system provides exceptional image quality, reliable articulation and robust performance in harsh environments, allowing us to inspect internal gearbox components quickly, safely and with a high level of detail. Its flexibility and measurement capabilities make it ideal for wind, industrial and marine drivetrain applications.

Where RVI Is Used

RVI is suitable for inspecting internal components across a wide range of drivetrain systems, providing internal gearbox inspection without disassembly for wind, industrial and marine applications. Because the technique requires no disassembly and can access confined or complex areas, it is used in wind, industrial and marine environments to assess the condition of gears, shafts, bearings and other critical components. This makes RVI an efficient and reliable method for both routine inspections and troubleshooting.
