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 reader 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/sq
to prevent these
electrostatic discharges.
