Introducing the Model 902 Enhanced Environmental Protected Camera / Lens Enclosure
03 September 2009
E-O Imaging’s camera/lens enclosures are designed to provide a reliable and cost effective solution for protecting camera/lens assemblies from the effects of temperature, shock, vibration and airborne contaminates. The Model 902 provides greater scene sensitivity and a higher resolution than its predecessor, the Model 901. The camera/lens assembly is a totally integrated package containing a camera/lens power supply, heaters and boresight adjustment. Its unique shape and mounting system allow for an infinitely variable roll orientation when integrated into the Customer's system. The boresight adjustment ensures the lens’ boresight shift is held to a nominal 0.5 mr over the full zoom range, a critical parameter for precision tracking applications. The integrated assembly is then placed into the enclosure, which is then sealed and pressurized with dry nitrogen or air to keep out moisture and airborne contaminates. The enclosure accommodates a wide range of camera selections allowing E-O Imaging to customize the Model 902's performance to our Customers' specific applications. An optional sunshield is provided to minimize the effects of direct sunlight allowing the system to operate at higher ambient temperatures.
Environmental enclosures protect the user's sensor system from the effects of termperature, moisture and airborne contaminates by providing a controlled environment for operation. By providing a controlled environment, the longterm reliability of the camera/lens assembly is enhanced.
Enclosures will also retard degradation to the lens coating due to airborne contaminates. Unsealed systems allow contaminates to accumulate on the lens surface degrading image quality over time.
E-O Imaging's environmental enclosures offer automatic heaters to ensure reliable camera operation in cold environments below 25° C. The use of an environmental enclosure provides a means of ruggedizing the lens/camera assembly against the effects of shock and vibration during transportation and use.
Another benefit of the factory sealed and pressurized housing is the ensurance of a properly aligned camera and lens. All dust and debris is cleared from the optical path providing a blemish-free image. The camera/lens assembly is delivered as a fully integrated assembly ready to install. The E-O Imaging enclosures can be mounted in any roll orientation to accommodate the specific integration requirements.
