Designed to Perform
Most Graflex zoom lenses are designed to match an established standard specification and meet minimum environmental performance. Further, most lenses may be customized to a required specification. Therefore, don’t hesitate to contact the factory for the exact standard associated with each lens and the customizations that are available.
| Iris: | 8-16Vdc @ 30mA, 0.4V to 1.0V (Peak to Peak) |
| Zoom/Focus: | 6-12Vdc @ 60mA |
| AI PCB: | 3.0Vdc @ 21mA |
| Position: | Potentiometers at Zoom & Focus |
| Iris Control: | Auto |
| Control: | Analog |
- Operating Temperature: The zoom lens will operate after having been exposed and thermally stabilized to any temperature within the range of -30°C to +70°C
- Storage/Transit Temperature: The zoom lens will not be damaged after having been exposed and thermally stabilized to any temperature within the range of -40°C to +75°C
- Shock: The zoom lens will not be damaged while subjected to three shocks of 7.5 g for 11msec saw tooth on each axis, in both directions (18 pulses total)
- Vibration: The zoom lens will operate and not suffer damage when subjected to axial vibration (not angular) or 0.1gRMS within the frequency range of 10-150 Hz
Note:
-
Our approach to surviving severe environments is to work with our customers to “overcome” any failures that may occur during the testing phase of a lens. It is the customer's responsibility to environmental test the lens; Torrent will make changes and recommendations based on any failures. We will not warranty lenses for damage resulting from shock, vibration, or other severe environmental inputs.
-
Published specifications may or may not apply to a specific lens. Please contact the factory for specifications as they apply to a particular lens.
Most Zoom Lenses are built according to a specific customer standard. Variations include electronic, control methods, electrical interface, ruggedization, optical, and bracketry/mechanical interface. With a long portfolio of upgrades, customizations are typically applied with no NRE expense.
| Optical (MTF) Testing: | Via our state of the art MTF system, Graflex is also able to provide complete lens analysis services including MTF (1D & 2D), LTF, EFL, flange FL, BFL, focus deviation, boresight deviation & retention, astigmatism, and depth of focus. Lens capability through approximately 2030mm and 8″ free aperture. |
| BCD Align Device: | The Graflex BCD (Boresight Compensation Device) is a mechanical device that greatly improves the inherent boresight retention of most any zoom lens. |
| DIS-III Controller: | The Graflex DIS-III controller includes a PCB and GUI and may be applied to most any zoom lens no matter the manufacturer. The system not only allows for serial interface via RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485, but also Ethernet. The DIS-III is also VISCA and PELCO compatible. |
| CFE Lens Enclosures: | The Graflex family of CFE Carbon Fiber Enclosures are not really an option but a product within itself. At a fraction of the density of aluminum, carbon fiber is a clear choice where extreme strength and low weight are desired characteristics. Although we manufacture standard sizes, the size/shape possibilities are endless. |
| The ZHS-II applies concentrated heat direct to the zoom lens, or any other device, via small heater pads. The ZHS-II system includes heater elements, thermostat, and is fully programable via a separate controller. | |
| Mechanical Interface | Beyond a wide range of standards, Graflex will build custom interface brackets to meet any requirement. From the simple addition of alignment pins to multi-axis tilt and lock brackets we can, and have, done it all. |
| Gear Motors: | Outside of the standard 12Vdc in most lenses, we also offer 6Vdc and 9Vdc motors, non-standard gearbox ratios, wide (low to high) temperature grease, and encoders. |
|
Electrical/Electronic:
|
In most lenses, we offer closed and open-loop systems, customer specified connectors, and encoders. |
|
Ruggedization:
|
We possess the knowledge and experience of modifying zoom lenses for the most severe environments. Our projects include modifications to survive shock up to 75 g’s, temperatures as low as- 45° celcius, and severe functional vibration (and the removal of resultant video distortion). |
