MidOpt Protective Windows: Unmatched Protection for Vision Systems in Any Environment

MidOpt
® Protective Windows are engineered to shield critical components in machine vision and automation systems, extending their lifespan and enhancing reliability across a wide range of environments. While often overlooked, these windows provide an essential line of defense, acting as a cost-effective safeguard for optics, cameras, and sensors.
What sets MidOpt apart is the breadth of materials and coatings tailored for specific environmental demands. Whether you’re dealing with the intense heat of a steel mill or the corrosive conditions of a chemical plant, MidOpt has a solution. From scratch-resistant Borofloat
® and high-temperature Fused Silica to ultradurable Sapphire and Germanium for infrared and thermal applications, each material is selected for optimal performance.
Advanced coatings further elevate performance. Anti-reflection (AR) coatings improve light transmission and image clarity, reducing glare and hot spots. For systems operating in both visible and near-infrared spectrums, Broadband Anti-Reflection (BBAR) coatings offer superior optical range. Maintenance coatings like oleophobic and hard coatings repel moisture, oil, and fingerprints — reducing downtime and preserving clarity.
MidOpt windows are also stackable with filters using threaded mounts, making integration into existing systems seamless. Need more than just a front lens barrier? The LE110 Lens Enclosure offers full-body protection for lenses, securing settings and shielding components from impact and tampering.
Serving industries from manufacturing and robotics to food processing and even aerospace, MidOpt protective windows solve real-world problems — ensuring that sensitive optics remain clean, safe, and functional. When combined with camera or lighting enclosures, these windows help maintain system integrity even in extreme conditions.
For tailored solutions, MidOpt also offers custom windows with features like silk-screened masking or adhesive VHB mounting for specialized applications.
