<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inspection assembly for insertion inspection of an elongate hollow member. <P>SOLUTION: An inspection assembly 10 includes a probe head 28 including at least one sensor 36 for sensing a characteristic of an elongate hollow member as the probe head 28 is moved internally within the elongate hollow member. The assembly includes a flexible shaft 30 connected to the probe head 28 and transmitting a motive force to the probe head 28 to move the probe head 28 within the elongate hollow member. The flexible shaft 30 encloses at least one wire 42 operatively connected between the probe head 28 and at least one component external to the elongate hollow member for sensory operation of the at least one sensor 36. The flexible shaft 30 is at least partially corrugated. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
