The V430-AF4 YAG Laser Filter is used to block a range of wavelengths from a variety of laser types

from being seen by the MicroHAWK camera that will either disrupt the cameras view of the object,

or damage the MicroHAWK sensor.

The table shows the laser types that are handled by the V430-AF4 Filter window, as well as the level

of protection they provide at the various wavelengths.

Note: Optical Density (OD) is a measure of the attenuation of energy passing through a filter. The

higher the OD value, the higher the attenuation and the greater the protection level.

OD 4 blocks 99.99% of the laser energy.

OD 5 blocks 99.999% of the laser energy (YAG).

OD 6 blocks 99.9999% of the laser energy (Argon, KTP)

An ESD event occurs when an electrostatic charge rapidly transfers between two objects. This

transfer is usually caused when two objects with a notable potential difference in electrical charge

contact each other. However, ESD events can also happen when two objects close to one another

create a highly charged electrostatic field.

ESD safety precautions are extremely important in the electronics and semiconductor industries

where sensitive components can be damaged even by a discharge of a mere 20 volts. Less

sensitive components may still be susceptible, and cumulative discharges can create long-term

problems affecting the functionality and performance of electronic components.

The MicroHAWK V430-AF5 ESD-Safe window is designed with an ESD coating on the exterior

surface to prevent static discharge between the camera or smart camera when the camera is

deployed close to the component surface. The antistatic coating offers a resistivity of ≤ 1.0 X 10^9 Ω/

to prevent these electrostatic discharges.
