M503.176.1 Camera probe – 9 mm diameter, IP67 inspection camera (Metav IndustryLine)

M503.176.1 is a compact camera probe for photo‑video endoscopy, designed for narrow‑bore inspections and long‑reach visual checks in industrial and workshop environments.

• Slim 9 mm probe diameter
• Dimmable white LED illumination
• Wide observation depth 12.7–305 mm
• IP67 dust and water protection

Precision access for narrow bores and long reach

The 9 mm diameter housing offers a balance between minimal invasiveness and on‑board optics, allowing inspections of tight cavities, pipe interiors and assembly gaps where larger heads cannot enter. With a 1,000 mm length and a total weight of 0.2 kg, the probe provides extended reach without excessive operator fatigue. The slim profile reduces the risk of scratching internal surfaces while the lightweight construction supports handheld manoeuvrability and longer inspection cycles with minimal strain. Compatibility with existing inspection fixtures is supported: the probe is listed as suitable for use with M503.171.0 and M503.172.0 accessories, enabling integration into established workflows.

Sharp images and adaptable lighting for reliable decisions

Optical characteristics such as a 50 mm focal length, a 60° field of view and a working range of 12.7–305 mm ensure clear imaging across a useful depth gradient. The specified observation depth (working distance) means the camera will maintain focus for both close‑up detail checks and mid‑range component surveys without constant refocusing. Integrated dimmable white LEDs deliver controllable illumination so contrasts and surface conditions are revealed consistently; dimming prevents overexposure in reflective assemblies and preserves critical visual detail. These attributes translate into faster defect detection and fewer repeat inspections — a direct gain in throughput for maintenance and quality assurance operations.

Robust design built for industrial conditions

Rated IP67, the probe is dust‑tight and protected against temporary immersion, which suits applications in harsh or wet environments such as rinsing stations, engine bays and pipework. The sealed design helps prevent contamination of optics during routine use and supports cleaning procedures common in industrial settings. The housing and connector interfaces are engineered for workshop resilience while retaining precision optics; this combination reduces downtime caused by fragile inspection tools. The product is packaged and identified by SKU M503.176.1 and integrates into optical equipment lines categorised under industry standard eClass identifiers for simple procurement and inventory handling.

How the probe improves inspection workflows

By combining compact geometry, a long working reach and adaptable illumination, the device enables faster inspections with fewer tool changes. The probe’s specifications support repeatable visual records for quality documentation and simplify comparisons between inspection runs. For procurement teams and workshop managers the practical benefits are clear: reduced handling complexity, improved access to hidden areas and consistent image quality for assessment and reporting. The device is presented under the Metav IndustryLine portfolio, which emphasises readiness for industrial use and straightforward integration into a shopfloor inspection regime.
