    Ruggedised Lenses for Use in Harsh Conditions

Resolve Optics supplies application-optimised ruggedised lenses and optical systems designed for use in environments where shock, vibration and demanding operating conditions can affect imaging performance. The company develops optical solutions for customers deploying instruments and sensors in sectors including space systems and petrochemical exploration. 

In satellite and space observation applications, optical payloads experience significant mechanical stress during launch. According to the manufacturer, reducing the size and mass of optical assemblies can help limit the effects of vibration and shock while supporting long-term operational reliability. The company therefore develops ruggedised optical components intended to maintain performance under these conditions. 

Well exploration and maintenance

The lenses are also used in downhole inspection systems operated by drilling and borehole maintenance teams. These camera-based inspection systems enable operators to assess well conditions, identify structural or operational issues and document conditions before and after treatment procedures. Survey data can be used to support maintenance planning and establish historical records of well rehabilitation activities. 

To verify durability before deployment, Resolve Optics performs vibration and shock testing on ruggedised lenses and optical systems. The company uses an MPA101-L215M vibratory shaker together with a DTC Venzo 880 controller for qualification testing. According to the manufacturer, the equipment is certified and calibrated to ISO standards, allowing customers to evaluate optical assemblies before installation in demanding applications.
