New Sapphire Windows for Drones from Meller Protect Vision Systems in Harsh Environments
These sapphire windows are ideal for UAVs exposed to chemicals, gases, particulates, and pollutants that can cause damage to sensitive vision systems.
Meller Optics, Inc. has introduced custom fabricated sapphire windows for UAVs exposed to chemicals, gases, particulates, and pollutants that can cause damage to sensitive vision systems.
Meller Sapphire Windows provide optimum optical clarity and feature Mohs 9 hardness to protect drone vision systems in harsh environments where they may be exposed to chemicals, fast moving particles, gases, and high heat. Custom fabricated in sizes from 1/4" to 10" dia. and 1/2 mm to 1" thick, depending upon configuration, they can also include A/R coatings.
Fabricated with flatness held to 0.5 fringes of HeNe and parallelism from 20 to 2 arc/secs., and surface finishes from 60-40 to 40-20 scratch-dig,
Meller Sapphire Windows can withstand temps. to 1,000°C and pressures to 10,000 psi, depending upon configuration. Other sapphire optics include domes and lenses with focal lengths from 3/4" to 1,000 mm or greater.
Meller Sapphire Windows are priced according to configuration, size, and quantity. Literature and price quotations are available upon request.

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
