360° Rotating Viewer to Streamline Visual Inspection Workflows
Inspectis AB, a leading innovator in digital optical inspection systems, has expanded its product lineup with the introduction of the HD-041 360° Rotating Viewer — a new solution engineered to simplify and accelerate visual inspection tasks across manufacturing, electronics, and precision engineering environments.
Designed to eliminate the repetitive and time-consuming process of manual camera height adjustments, the HD-041 allows operators to smoothly switch between top-down and oblique viewing angles without losing focus or image clarity. Once the working distance is set at 80 mm, the viewer’s built-in lens automatically maintains focus across the entire tilt range, delivering consistent, distortion-free images at any inspection angle.
At the heart of the HD-041 is a mechanically robust push-pull slide mechanism featuring spring-loaded ball screws, ensuring exceptionally precise and repeatable positioning. This engineering refinement supports stable and accurate inspection of intricate components — a critical requirement in quality control applications such as PCB solder joint verification, surface finish assessment, and micro-mechanical part inspection.
According to Alistair Gooch, Marketing Manager, “The 360-degree viewer has a built-in lens to maintain focus without Z-adjustment in both oblique and top view positions. The push-pull slide mechanism has spring-loaded ball screws to easily find and fix the positions. Focus is maintained at all tilt angles if the working distance is set and fixed at 189 mm, for example, as described in the user manual,” he adds. “Therefore, no Z-adjustment for axial movement of the camera is required, simplifying the inspection process while keeping it steady and reliable.”
The HD-041 integrates seamlessly with INSPECTIS digital F and U microscopes, providing users with an adaptable and ergonomic inspection setup that can be easily tailored to specific workflow needs. The system also supports ring light mounts, offering flexible illumination options that enhance image contrast and visibility in varying lighting conditions.
Further expanding its capabilities, the HD-041 is fully compatible with INSPECTIS Pro Utility and Metrology Software, enabling operators to capture, measure, analyze, and report inspection results within a unified digital ecosystem. This integration strengthens traceability and documentation — vital components of today’s digital inspection and quality assurance processes.
By combining optical precision, mechanical innovation, and software connectivity, Inspectis’ HD-041 offers a new level of efficiency in visual inspection workflows. The ability to inspect from any angle without constant Z-axis adjustment not only improves throughput but also reduces operator fatigue, making it an ideal solution for high-volume inspection environments demanding both accuracy and productivity.
With the launch of the HD-041, Inspectis continues to reinforce its reputation as a pioneer in optical inspection technology — advancing the capabilities of modern metrology through practical, operator-focused design.
