Camera probe M503.176.2 — 9 mm diameter, IP67-rated inspection head (Metav IndustryLine)

A compact camera probe M503.176.2 designed for close-up visual inspection in tight, wet or dusty environments, ideal for bores, assemblies and maintenance tasks

• 9 mm diameter for confined inspections
• IP67 protection for wet and dusty environments
• Dimmable white LED illumination
• 1,000 mm flexible probe length

Precise access where space is limited

The slim 9 mm probe head allows direct visual access into narrow bores, ducts and machine cavities that larger cameras cannot reach. By combining a small profile with a measured focal design, the unit keeps the image stable even in restricted geometries, which helps to reduce the number of repeat inspections and shortens fault-finding cycles. The compact construction is particularly beneficial for service engineers and maintenance teams who routinely inspect engines, valves or mould cavities and require consistent, readable images from hard-to-reach areas.

Robust protection for workshop conditions

Built for use in demanding environments, the inspection head carries an IP67 rating that protects against dust ingress and temporary immersion. The sealed design prevents contamination from coolant, cutting fluids or workshop dust, preserving optics and electronics and extending service intervals. With a 1,000 mm probe length, the assembly balances reach and handling: long enough for deeper inspections yet still manageable from a single attachment point, which supports quicker checks on assemblies without complex fixtures.

Illumination and image geometry tuned for clarity

Integrated dimmable white-light LEDs offer controllable lighting to match surface reflectivity and working distance, preventing overexposure on shiny metals and improving contrast on matt surfaces. The imaging chain with 640x480 resolution, combined with a depth of field 12.7–305 mm and a 50 mm focal length, provides a useful compromise between close-up detail and usable working distance. These characteristics ensure that features such as burrs, wear patterns or seal defects become visible without constant refocusing, which increases inspection throughput and decision confidence.

Field-ready optics and practical integration

A 60° viewing angle offers a wide observation cone that captures relevant context around a defect while still resolving fine detail at the centre of the image. The probe is supplied ready for integration with compatible inspection rigs and accessories and is marked for compatibility with referenced tooling where indicated. This flexibility supports diverse use cases, from assembly-line checks to portable service kits, enabling teams to adapt the probe to existing workflows and minimise additional equipment investment.

FAQ

What environments is the camera probe suited to?
The camera probe M503.176.2 is designed for industrial environments and carries an IP 67 rating, making it suitable for dusty workshops and conditions with temporary immersion.

Can the lighting be adjusted for reflective surfaces?
Yes, the dimmable white-light LEDs allow illumination to be reduced or increased to avoid glare on reflective metals and to enhance contrast on dull surfaces.

What inspection distances are supported by the optics?
Optical design provides a usable depth of field from 12.7–305 mm, which supports both close-up detail work and slightly longer-range inspections without the need for frequent refocusing.

Is the probe compatible with other inspection accessories?
The probe is marked as compatible with referenced tooling entries (e.g., M503.173.0) and can be integrated into existing inspection rigs or portable kits where mechanical interfaces match.

Which features make this probe suitable for maintenance teams?
Maintenance teams benefit from the slim 9 mm diameter for confined access, the 1,000 mm reach for deeper inspections, and the sealed IP 67 construction that tolerates typical workshop contaminants.
