Camera cover design for industrial environment

This bachelor’s thesis deals with the design of a camera housing for industrial environment. In opposite to the solutions available on the market, the designed housing is adapted to a specific measuring application, which in addition to common parameters such as thermoregulatory properties and degree of protection requires weight reduction, camera mounting stiffness, optical parameters of the window and easy maintenance of the housing. The required properties of the newly designed housing were achieved, among other measures, by minimizing the volume of steel and applying an insulation material. The resulting design has about 47 % lower heat gain and its weight is 69 % lower compared to the housings now used in this specific application. This housing will help enhance the properties of a photogrammetric system for measuring of forgings which is being developed at the Institute of Machine and Industrial Design, FME BUT
