Surface analysis for the reliability of optronic systems in the laboratory
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
