Precise temperature control for clear imaging and reliable sensor performance—even under extreme environmental conditions.
Brief overview
- Industry: Aerospace
- Fields of application: Imaging, sensor technology, optical systems
- Applications: Optical lenses, camera windows, and imaging components
- Key benefits: Protection against frost and condensation, consistent image quality, reliable sensor performance, compact design
Field of application
Customheaters were developed for an EO/IR camera system used in an unmanned aerial vehicle applicationheaters maintain the temperature of optical lenses and camera windows. The goal was to reliably prevent condensation and icing at low temperatures and high humidity.
Other typical applications:
- Thermal imaging cameras
- airborne surveillance systems
- optical sensor systems
The challenge
The optical components were exposed to extreme environmental conditions and rapid temperature changes. Even a small amount of condensation on the camera window caused image distortion and signal loss.
Technical challenges:
- Frost and condensation
- Even heat distribution without hot spots
- Limited installation space in the sensor module
- Low power consumption
- High resistance to vibration and temperature
- High reliability in continuous operation
Our solution
For this customer project, ultra-thin Kaptonheaters with a dual-circuit design were developed. The redundant circuitry increases operational reliability. Thanks to custom geometries, the heaters can be heaters adapted to optical lenses and camera windows. The flexible design enables uniform heat distribution with minimal space requirements.
- Dual-circuit design
- Custom ring-shaped geometry
- Thin-profile Kapton version
- Uniform power density
- PSA backing for easy installation
