Challenge: parts to outlive saltwater
Saltwater is one of the most challenging environments you can put metal parts into.
Therefore, the requirements for the metal qualities are high when the part is used offshore. These material requirements necessitate suppliers with specialised expertise.
Furthermore, tight tolerances are essential. Assembling lenses and mechanical parts is complex and not possible without precision parts.
Result: an assembly of many part numbers
This module assembly is a conjunction of various precision parts with tolerances as low as +0,03/-0 and adhering to ISO 2768-1. These low tolerances are necessary for the lens of sapphire glass to be mounted.
The metals used for the parts are 17-4PH and aluminium 6061-T6. 17-4PH is a stainless-steel alloy containing chromium, nickel, and copper. This alloy offers high hardness and corrosion resistance, making it useful in the aerospace, petroleum, and firearm industries.
The aluminium alloy (6061-T6) is a precipitation-hardened metal. For major alloying elements, it contains magnesium and silicon. This alloy is often used for heavy-duty structures.
