Camera probe M503.177.3 — 12 mm diameter, IP67, dimmable LEDs (Metav IndustryLine)

The camera probe M503.177.3 is a compact inspection head designed for endoscopic visual checks in confined components and assemblies, providing a practical solution for workshop, service and quality‑control environments.

• 12 mm probe diameter for confined spaces
• Dimmable white-light LED illumination
• IP67 dust- and water-resistant
• 12.7–305 mm focal range for close and depth

Precision imaging for demanding inspections

The probe delivers a balance of compact design and measurable performance: the 12 mm outer diameter permits entry into narrow bores and tight cavities where larger heads cannot follow, while the 60° viewing angle captures a broad field without repositioning. The sensor delivers 640×480 resolution suitable for visual fault detection and documentation; this resolution is optimised for pragmatic inspection tasks rather than metrological measurement, making the unit a cost-effective option for visual quality checks and service diagnostics. The solid construction and IP67 rating protect electronics during exposure to dust and splashes, increasing uptime and reducing inspection-related downtime.

Controlled illumination and adjustable focus for clear results

Integrated dimmable white-light LEDs provide uniform lighting across varying working distances, enabling contrast control to reveal surface defects or geometry changes. The optical design supports a 12.7–305 mm focal range with a nominal 50 mm focal length, which enables both close-up detail and deeper field observation without frequent refocusing. For operators, this means fewer adjustments during inspection runs and higher throughput when scanning cavities, housings or assemblies; for process owners, it means consistent image quality that supports faster decision making.

Built for workshop use and straightforward integration

A robust 3 m cable and a compact camera head keep handling simple in service and production settings; total weight around 0.6 kg makes the unit manageable for hand‑held or fixture-mounted applications. The probe is supplied in the Optik category and is compatible with related inspection accessories listed as suitable for M503.171.0 and M503.172.0, enabling modular deployment across inspection stations. The IP67 protection, combined with practical ergonomics and the option to regulate illumination, reduces the risk of repeat inspections and supports reliable documentation for quality records.

FAQ

What environments is this probe suited for? The camera probe M503.177.3 is designed for workshop and service environments where IP67 protection and a compact 12 mm diameter are required for inspections in dusty or damp conditions.

Can the illumination be adjusted for reflective surfaces? Yes. The dimmable white-light LEDs integrated into the M503.177.3 allow controlled illumination to reduce glare on reflective parts and improve contrast for visual defect detection.

Is the probe compatible with other inspection systems? The probe is listed as suitable for accessory sets M503.171.0 and M503.172.0 and can be integrated where compatible endoscope interfaces are present; compatibility depends on the host device interface and mounting specification.

What is the inspected range and how does it affect use? With a focal range of 12.7–305 mm, the probe covers close‑up detail and moderate depths in cavities, making it versatile for component bores, housings and assemblies where both near and mid‑range views are needed.
