SICK Accessories: Reflectors and optics Optics protection hood (PMMA)

An optics protection hood made from PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) is an optical accessory designed to shield sensitive lenses, sensors, and other optical components from environmental hazards. PMMA, known for its clarity and durability, provides a lightweight, impact-resistant barrier against dust, moisture, and physical damage. This protection hood ensures that optics remain free from contamination, maintaining image quality and system reliability. It is particularly useful in industrial, outdoor, and harsh environments where optics are exposed to the risk of damage, helping to extend the lifespan and performance of the optical system.
