Optical equipment housing
Carbon fiber is a material with a "negative" coefficient of linear expansion!
●Optical Equipment Housing Utilizing the low thermal expansion properties, which is one of the characteristics of CFRP, we will manufacture housings and structural products with minimal dimensional changes at varying temperatures. 【Overview】 The relationship between the lenses and the tube of a telescope is similar to the structure of the human eye. The lens of the eye, known as the crystalline lens, can change its thickness through the ciliary body, allowing it to adjust the retinal image. In a telescope, the tube can be considered analogous to the retina. However, in telescopes, any displacement in the diameter of the tube can lead to critical defects. Carbon fibers have a negative linear expansion coefficient when considered individually, so it is expected that by orienting them appropriately, we can create structures with “±0” expansion, meaning that the expansion and contraction due to temperature changes will be minimal. ★For more details, please request materials or download the documents★
