An apparatus investigates a technical device using a borescope. The apparatus has: a guide tube which is introducible through a borescope opening on the technical device to be inspected using the borescope; and a repeatedly plastically deformable carrier configured to guide a borescope head arranged at one end of the carrier. The guide tube is designed to deform the carrier during the passage of the carrier through the guide tube.

Apparatus for borescope inspection of technical devices

An apparatus is used for inspecting a technical device using a borescope. The apparatus has a repeatedly plastically deformable and elongated carrier which is guidable in a deforming unit. The deforming unit has a stationary guide configured to axially guide the carrier at an outlet end and an actuator which is designed to axially guide the carrier and can be moved in at least one direction perpendicular to the gap between the guide and the actuator in order selectively to apply a bending moment to the carrier guided by the guide and the actuator. A borescope head is arranged at that end of the carrier which protrudes from the outlet end of the deforming unit.
