Lens Barrel & Housing Design
Precision barrel tolerancing, thread fits, cell spacers and retaining rings that hold centration and tip/tilt.
Service Overview
A lens is only as stable as the mechanical structure that holds it. AISYS designs machined lens barrels with the tight centration, tilt and airgap tolerances required for diffraction-limited optical performance under full environmental load.
Every barrel design ships with a stack-up analysis showing how manufacturing tolerances flow into optical performance — so mechanical trade-offs are made with full visibility into their optical cost.

Frequently Asked
What materials do you use for MIL / space?
Aluminium 6061-T6 baseline, Titanium Grade-5 for weight, Invar-36 for thermally-critical spacers.
Do you support hermetic sealing?
Yes — for IR sensor payloads we design nitrogen-purged, hermetic enclosures with feedthroughs.
