Meller Optics Introduces Sapphire Lenses, Windows & Domes to Protect Drone Optics in Harsh Environments
Custom fabricated sapphire lenses, windows, and domes for protecting all types of vision systems and sensors on drones that are exposed to harsh environments are available from Meller Optics, Inc.
Meller Optics, Inc. has introduced custom fabricated sapphire lenses, windows, and domes for protecting all types of vision systems and sensors on drones that are exposed to harsh environments.
Meller Sapphire Optics feature Mohs 9 hardness, which is second only to diamond, and are impervious to fast moving dirt, sand, most chemicals and high temperatures. Ideally suited for protecting different vision systems and sensors on drones used in harsh environments, these sapphire optics can be custom fabricated as lenses with focal lengths from 3/4" to 1,000 mm or greater, and as windows and domes in a variety of sizes.
Available in sizes from 1/4" to 10" dia. and 1/2 mm to 1" thick, Meller Sapphire Optics can include A/R coatings. Providing flatness held to 0.5 fringes of HeNe, parallelism from 20 to 2 arc/secs., they have surface finishes from 60-40 to 40-20 scratch-dig. Sapphire can withstand heat up to 1,000°C and pressures to 10,000 psi, depending upon configuration.
Meller Sapphire Optics are priced according to configuration, size, and quantity. Literature and price quotations are available upon request.

The ERT150 - Dorner's Next Evolution of Edge Roller Technology Conveyors
The next evolution in Dorner's Edge Roller Technology conveyor platform, the ERT®150, is ideal for small and light-load assembly automation, as well as medical and medical-device assembly application. The ERT platform is the only pallet conveyor of its kind available with an ISO Standard Class 4 rating for cleanroom applications. Earning the ISO Standard 14644-1 Class 4 rating means Dorner's ERT150 will conform and not contribute to the contamination of cleanrooms to those standards. As implied by its name, the ERT150 (Edge Roller Technology) uses rollers to move pallets through the conveyor smoothly with no friction (a byproduct often seen in belt-driven platforms). The conveyor's open design eliminates concerns of small parts or screws dropping into rollers and causing conveyor damage or jamming. The ERT150 is suited to operate in cleanroom environments requiring a pallet handling conveyor. It is capable of zoning for no or low-back pressure accumulation and is ideal for automation assembly applications within industries including medical devices, electronics, consumer goods among others.
