Challenge & Solution
In addressing the challenge of enhancing the core design of our coupling medium, we aimed to revolutionize the installation process for technicians. The goals were multifold: simplify the installation steps, expedite fitment procedures, mitigate the risk of sensor failure due to moisture ingress, align the medium’s depth more closely with the original, and achieve a zero air-cavity fitment. Our overarching objective has been to streamline and optimize the design of the coupling medium, ensuring a hassle-free fitment experience for technicians. We sought to create a medium that mirrors the original thickness, promoting improved sensor performance and reliability during installation, thereby achieving an innovative solution that meets industry standards.
Zero Liquid - Dry Fitment
We’ve engineered a medium that transforms sensor installation—requiring zero liquid. This dry fitment solution not only simplifies the process for technicians but also eliminates the risk of damaging sensitive electrical components, ensuring optimal performance and reliability of the entire optical system.
Eliminate Air Pockets Between Mating Surfaces
Our advanced medium design is dedicated to minimizing air cavities between the medium and mating surfaces. This strategic approach ensures precise sensor operation, optimizing functionality. By reducing air gaps, we enhance the sensor’s performance, delivering superior operational excellence without compromise. Our commitment to innovation positions our mediums as leaders in achieving top-tier functionality and reliability.
Reduce Thickness of Medium
We’ve made a significant advancement by refining the thickness of our medium, bringing it closely in line with the original manufacturer’s specifications. This meticulous adjustment guarantees that transmitted light is received as intended.
Conclusion
In summary, our research and development in OptixPAD have significantly enhanced the fitment process for technicians. The result is a faster, more assured installation, replacing wet fitment with a dry solution. This eliminates the introduction of moisture into sensitive electronic components, ensuring reliability. Moreover, the medium thickness now closely aligns with OEM specifications, marking a milestone in advancing precision and reliability in sensor technology.
