PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Meller Optics Inc. in Providence, R.I., is introducing custom fabricated sapphire windows for gimbaled optical systems that protect lenses from chemicals, dirt, saltwater, sand, and other fast-moving particulates.
Meller sapphire windows provide front surface protection for optics used in gimbaled systems and are available with multispectral anti-reflective coatings that can meet salt fog requirements.
Second only to diamond in terms of hardness, sapphire windows can be manufactured to specification in sizes from 0.25-inch to 10-inch diameter with varying thicknesses, and can include stepped edges and elliptical edge shaping, holes, slots, and wedges.
Surface finishes for these sapphire windows can range from 60 to 40 to 40 to 20 scratch-dig, depending on configuration. Meller sapphire windows for gimbaled systems are priced according to configuration and quantity.
