The “black box” from Savvy Optics is a black powder coat, cleanroom compatible viewing fixture which allows inspections in accordance with the MIL-PRF-13830B transmitted light method 2 and reflectance methods. It is consistent with the latest versions of the ANSI and ISO visibility inspection methods, which specify the required illuminance rather than wattage for the inspection areas. It is lightweight and fully assembled. Ships with 110/220V compatible NEMA 1-15 ungrounded power plug.

The Savvy Optics SP13 “Assembly inspection black box” accommodates the inspection of larger components and assemblies’ inspections in accordance with the MIL-PRF-13830B transmitted light method 2 and reflectance methods.

The SP15 “light bar” allows inspections in accordance with the MIL-PRF-13830B transmitted light method 1 in conjunction with the SP11D Black Box and SP13 “Assembly inspection black box”.

Scratch/Dig Standards Supported

• MIL-PRF-13830B
• MIL-C-675C
• ANSI/OEOSC OP1.002 Visibility Method
• ISO 14997 Visibility Method

The inspection stations from Savvy Optics allow an objective measurement of scratch and dig visibility. They are available in manual or motorised configurations with various XY stage options. The motorised systems can be automated for “Autoscan” measurement scanning and automatic reporting.

The SavvyInspector® model SIL-4 is designed to measure scratch and dig of lenses to MIL spec. The SIL-4 uses a 1.4 megapixel camera and can evaluate lenses (e.g., plano-convex, 25 mm diameter R > 40 mm or equivalent surface slopes) to specifications down to 10-5.
