The Machida FBA-6-6OT is a flexible fiber optic inspection borescope designed for visual examination of confined and hard-to-reach areas in industrial environments. Its 6.0 mm diameter insertion part and 1000 mm working length enable access to restricted spaces where direct observation is impractical. The instrument delivers fixed-focus imaging across a 60°/65° field of view with depth of field from 10 mm to infinity, supported by advanced optical components and fiber-guided illumination from an external light source.
