Signal optics glasses

Why signal optics glasses? Product range

Light signals play an important role when safety in rail traffic is of concern. High demands arising from the design of the signals, national and international standards and specification for colors and light distribution, are placed on the optical components of these signals. To conform with these safety regulations, SCHOTT signal optics glasses for rail traffic offer the following benefits:

Signal color complying with national or international standards Light distribution complying with standards over the spatial angle ranges of importance to those involved Protection of other optical components located inside the signal source Large number of optics to achieve different lighting requirements Short focal length lens systems which collect a high proportion of the light from the lamp Double lens systems can also be coupled, i.e. supplied with protocol indicating axial luminous intensity and focal length Optimum luminous intensities by use of silver-coated glass reflectors Easy to install optical components Competence with everything concerning measurement mimicry/colorimetry Verification of compliance with standards in the laboratory using: Calibrated colorimeters which check colors using the three range method Chemical resistance testing equipment complying with standards Goniophotometers for fully automated luminous intensity measurements on original signal sources Air circulation ovens/water sprinklers for thermal shock resistance Lighting calculation of optical components
