Description
iGrab™ Vacuum Articulating FOSAR 1/2" Diameter Tool — Tablet Display
The iGrab™ Vacuum-Articulating FOSAR Tool combines vacuum-assisted extraction with live video guidance for removing stringy, granular, loose, or difficult-to-grasp foreign object debris. A four-way articulating tip helps operators position the tool in confined and difficult-to-access areas.
The 1/2-inch shaft uses tungsten braid and stainless steel end fittings for durability and flexibility. An integrated 1080p color CMOS camera and LED illumination provide real-time viewing through a handle-mounted Samsung S8 tablet running USB Camera Pro software.

Visually Guided Debris Removal
The articulating tip allows the vacuum channel to be positioned during retrieval, while the camera provides live visual guidance. LED illumination supports viewing in dark inspection environments. The specifications list 120° articulation in all directions; the descriptive information states over 120° of movement.
Industrial Retrieval Applications
Originally developed for aerospace and aviation maintenance, repair, and overhaul, the tool is also used in power generation, manufacturing, and automotive maintenance applications.
