Stingray enclosures provide reliable protection for cameras

The enclosure profile is roomy enough for line-scan cameras as well as other large camera models that are too large for Orca-type enclosures, such as Allied Vision Bonito Pro or Flir A6xx thermal imaging cameras. The manufacturer offers BK7 or acrylic glasses up to ~2000 nm and sapphire and germanium discs for sensors in the infrared wavelength range.

Stingray enclosures come in three standard lengths and with different window options. The flange version can be used with a Meganova ring light, all Orca front lids, including the dome window, and 30-mm and 60-mm extensions for easy lens access.

Thanks to the flexible Quick-Lock/Heat-Guide camera mount, lenses can be positioned directly behind the enclosure window to avoid vignetting. In addition, special front covers are available for time-of-flight (ToF) cameras from IFM and Lucid and others. In addition to a high IP66 protection rating, the anodized aluminum enclosures feature high chemical resistance, vibration-proof mounting and very good heat dissipation, which ensures passive cooling of the installed camera.

Both a 40-mm dovetail and a T-slot can be used for mounting. The manufacturer offers a wide range of accessories that facilitate efficient and reliable configurations for all kinds of demanding application scenarios; these include various mounting kits, sunroofs, protective lids, air nozzles, heating plates and cooling technology.
