Optical components are used in many aerospace applications. These components are used to monitor the security of buildings and public areas. Lenses are also used to monitor the performance of drones, satellites and engines.
With their rugged features, our ruggedized lenses are the ideal choice for demanding space missions.
Imaging technologies are increasingly being used in space exploration and in CubeSats, small, low-cost satellites
In aircraft engine monitoring, industrial lenses detect wear, damage, and irregularities in real-time. They enable post-flight analysis.
Thanks to their robust construction and reliability, ruggedized lenses have become a preferred choice in the aerospace industry, empowering engineers and scientists to gather high-quality imaging data with confidence, and ultimately supporting the success of every rocket launch and space mission.
Ruggedized lenses play a pivotal role in aerospace applications, particularly during rocket launches and space missions. When a rocket lifts off, it experiences intense vibration, extreme temperature fluctuations, and rapid pressure changes. In these harsh conditions, standard optical systems are at risk of misalignment or damage. Ruggedized lenses, however, are specially designed and constructed to withstand severe shock and vibration, ensuring consistent performance and reliable data capture even under the most demanding circumstances.
Moreover, the sealed design of ruggedized lenses protects against the intrusion of dust, moisture, and other contaminants—a critical feature when operating in environments such as launch pads or orbit, where fine particles and debris are common. By maintaining airtight integrity, these lenses enable precise optical performance and reduce the risk of costly mission failures due to compromised equipment.
Imaging technologies are increasingly being used in space exploration and in CubeSats, small, low-cost satellites. These technologies enable the acquisition and analysis of high-resolution images of the Earth. They can be used, for example, to monitor environmental changes, detect and manage resources, and detect and assess disasters. Imaging technologies can also be used to improve the performance and extend the lifetime of CubeSats. They make it possible to monitor the satellite's position and status in real time and to detect and correct faults quickly.
This increases the reliability and availability of CubeSats and allows them to operate longer in orbit. Vision technologies are also essential for CubeSat navigation. They enable precise control of the satellite and stabilisation of its position in orbit. This allows high-resolution images of specific areas of the Earth to be captured and the data to be accurately transmitted.
Industrial lenses are crucial to the monitoring and control of aircraft and rocket engines. These specialized lenses are designed to withstand harsh conditions and provide vital visual information for performance analysis, safety assurance and maintenance. In aircraft engine monitoring, industrial lenses allow real-time observation of critical components, helping to detect wear, damage and anomalies. High-quality images enable post-flight analysis and performance evaluation.
In rocket engine testing, industrial lenses capture precise visual data on ignition, thrust generation and exhaust behaviour. They enable non-intrusive inspection, identifying problems and optimizing performance. By visually inspecting engines, industrial lenses help improve maintenance efficiency and safety. They provide critical data for maintenance records, decision making and early problem detection.
