Regulations have become more stringent for safety and unambiguous recognition of air traffic signals on airfields.
In line with these new requirements, signal optics glasses for air traffic by SCHOTT offer you the following benefits:
The signal colors comply with national or international standards
The light distribution complies with standards over the spatial angle ranges
Other optical components located inside the signal source are protected
A large variety of optics is available to achieve the different lighting requirements
Cost savings through the use of the SCHOTT modular surface-mounted beacon system:
Compact design
Small diameter
Light weight
Smooth external surface
Small attack area for soiling
Easy to clean
Can be used with lower lamp outputs to save energy
One fitting can be used for several applications
Storage costs can be reduced
Meeting specifications
Easy to install optical components
Competence in the measurement mimicry/colorimetry fields
Verification of compliance with standards in the laboratory using:
Calibrated colorimeters that use the three range method to check colors
Chemical resistance testing equipment complies with standards
Goniophotometers for fully automated luminous intensity measurements on original signal sources
Air circulation ovens/water sprinklers for thermal shock resistance
Lighting output calculations for optical components
