CCTV Components

U.S. Laser offers a line of components to support its beam delivery systems with CCTV viewing. Various components such as camera lenses, filters, and corrector lenses are available to extend the utility of existing systems, as well as items such as replacement cameras and monitors.

CCTV Lenses

These special low F# CCTV lenses are used with the U.S. Laser beam delivery systems to vary the image magnification. All lenses feature a C-mount (1"-32 thread) and may be used with CCTV cameras on any U.S. Laser conventional beam delivery system.

CCTV FILTER ADAPTERS

Filter adapters are used to adapt 58 mm threaded U.S. Laser filters ( N3921 and N3922) and corrector lenses (N3920 to the various CCTV lenses available for use with the U.S. Laser model N1001 beam delivery optics.  These adapters thread directly fit into the CCTV lens, and allow the mounting of the standard 58 mm filters.  The most commonly used adapters are listed below.  For assistance  with others adapters, please contact U.S. Laser sales department.  

Corrector Lenses

The corrector lens is used to shift the focal plane of the visual CCTV image such that it is coplanar with the laser's focal plane. Lenses are mounted in an aluminum cell, and thread directly into the 58mm CCTV camera lens.

Filters

These 58mm cell mounted filters are used to block the transmission of unwanted laser light, while simultaneously transmitting sufficient visual light for the CCTV system.  Polarizing filters are used to reduce visual glare from highly reflective objects.  

Cameras and Monitors

Electronic Crosshair Generator

The electronic crosshair generator is used to project an adjustable reference crosshair on a black and white or color closed circuit TV monitor when a positional reference is required. Video from the CCTV camera is passed through the crosshair generator control box to the CCTV monitor. A crosshair is electronically projected onto the screen. The crosshair position is adjustable in X-Y position, and may be selected to be displayed in black or white.

Fiber Optic Ring Illuminator

The fiber optic ring illuminator is designed to provide uniform high intensity lighting for viewing and focusing systems with CCTV, such as Model N1001. The illuminator assembly consists of a 150 watt adjustable high intensity light source, and a 30" long fiber delivered ring shaped light source. The ring illuminator directly attaches to the focusing barrel assembly, and provides uniform illumination at the focal plane of the objective lens.

Coaxial Illuminator:

The USL coaxial illuminator assembly is designed for use with the model 1001 Viewing and Focusing Assembly, which comes with provisions for mounting. The illuminator assembly comes complete with adjustable intensity power supply, and a 50/50 beamsplitter, which is necessary for installation. Coaxial illumination is recommended on systems with high magnification ratios, or whenever high intensity normal incidence illumination is required. The illuminator also has an integral variable polarizer, which is helpful in minimizing glare from reflective surfaces, and an infrared blocking filter. When used with USL model 1001 V & F assemblies, a 50/50 beamsplitter (P/N 3476) is required.

Gooseneck Halogen Illuminator:

The U.S. Laser gooseneck halogen illuminator provides a convenient way of providing illumination in laser workstations or as an illumination source for the model N1001 Viewing and Focusing optics.  The 115 VAC illuminator features a built-in 12 Volt power supply, a replaceable 20 watt low voltage halogen bulb, and a 27" flexible shaft which can be set as required to provide the desired illumination angle and level.

CCTV Camera Mounts

US Laser CCTV camera mounts are designated to mount and position CCD cameras (such as the USL 3901) used in USL beam delivery systems.  These mounts provide a convenient way of securely holding the camera while providing a means to rotate the camera in 90 degree increments for image orientation.
