Resolve Optics is a leading supplier of custom ruggedised lenses built to withstand extreme environments, severe shocks, and constant vibrations.
In recent years – Resolve Optics has designed and supplied application optimised (custom) ruggedised lenses for customers deploying optical instruments and sensors in space and petrochemical exploration scenarios.
Rob Watkinson of Resolve Optics commented “As the cost of launching optical payloads into space is considerable, incorporating only ruggedised lenses or optical systems into a satellite or space observation system is critical for achieving longer term, high-performance operation. During launch into space – lenses in high precision instruments and cameras are subject to high levels of vibration and shock. To minimise the effects of vibration and shock it is advisable to keep spaceborne components small and light. Minimising the mass of space optics and retaining them securely to an instrument baseplate will minimise the impact of vibration and shock”.
He added “We also have a growing number of ruggedised lens customers operating in the exploration sector. One example of this was for visual inspection using specialist cameras operated by drillers and borehole maintenance engineers. Such inspection systems are key to determining the condition of a well or borehole as well as the nature and extent of any problems.
“Using camera or video inspection technology to undertake surveys pre and post treatment are a key component of any maintenance programme as they allow operators to understand the specific areas in a well that may require attention and confirm the effectiveness of the treatment carried out. Inspection surveys also provide a valuable benchmark in the history of the well and its rehabilitation”.
Resolve Optics has invested in state-of-the-art equipment to test ruggedised lenses and optical systems prior to delivery to customers. This vibration / shock testing service not only provide piece of mind that lenses will not fail upon deployment but also will save customers considerable time and money by removing the need to use third party testing services. The company’s MPA101-L215M vibratory shaker coupled with a DTC Venzo 880 controller is certified and calibrated to ISO standards.
