Ensuring optical and mechanical performance through surface control
Embedded optronic systems (sights, sensors, cameras, guidance systems) are subjected to harsh conditions: vibrations, extreme temperatures, corrosive atmospheres, and dust.
The reliability of optronic systems depends largely on the integrity of surfaces and interfaces: surface treatment, cleanliness, coating adhesion, and the absence of contaminants.
A thorough surface analysis helps prevent:
- Optical or mechanical degradation
- Loss of performance or accuracy
- Premature component failure
- Non-compliance with regulatory requirements
