There are times when an apparently simple question from a customer causes a chain reaction resulting in a new product, and this is exactly what has happened with the creation of the new 60° FoV camera system for the VP2000 camera. For those of you not familiar with this product, its a 2 camera system with 30m of cable on a reel, and a video/still recording and display module. The really impressive part are the 2 cameras – one a 25mm dia. straight ahead view, and the second a 45mm camera head that fully rotates and tilts. With a 100° FoV this system is primarily designed for inspecting pipe and tubes to about 300mm dia, and smaller vessels. This versatile system has now been enhanced with the new 60° FoV head, giving a greater inspection range out to 600mm dia.
The great thing is that this product was created in less than 6 weeks after a simple “wouldn’t it be nice if…” from a customer and a feedback conversation I had with the supplier. At a time when response times from some of the major manufacturers are lengthening at best, and their flexibilty to deliver “non-standard” products is diminishing, this kind of fantastic response is a testament to the ability of the specialist manufacturers to create solutions and deliver premium value to their customers.
