Abstract
Device (1) for the internal inspection of pipes (2) with a sensor head (5) comprising: - a main body (6) with a basic shape elongated along a principal axis (7), - a connection (13) at a proximal end of the main body (6) for rotationally fixed connection about the principal axis (7) to a distal end of a feed device (15), and - a sensor (4) mounted on the main body (6) via a positioning device and aligned transversely to the principal axis (7), wherein the positioning device comprises a parallelogram linkage arrangement (9) by means of which the sensor (4) is mounted on the main body (6) in such a way that it can be pivoted away from the principal axis (7), characterized in that at the distal and proximal ends of the sensor head (5) interchangeable spacer rings (23, 24) of the same outer diameter are arranged coaxially to the principal axis (7) on the main body (6), between which the sensor (4) can be swung out from the main body (6).
