Abstract: A system for securing an infrared camera lens in optical alignment with an infrared camera sensor, including: a computer-controlled robotic arm configured to adjust a relative position of the infrared camera sensor and the infrared camera lens so as to bring the infrared camera lens into an ideal lens position with respect to the infrared camera sensor; and at least one computer-controlled welder, the at least one computer-controlled welder being configured to perform welding together of at least two parts of the infrared camera after the infrared camera lens is positioned by the robotic arm in the ideal lens position with respect to the infrared sensor camera such that the infrared camera lens is permanently maintained in the ideal lens position.

Abstract: A system for securing an infrared camera lens in optical alignment with a multiple pixel infrared camera sensor, comprising: a computer-controlled robotic arm to adjust a relative position of the camera sensor and the camera lens so as to bring the lens into an ideal lens position with respect to the camera sensor, wherein the ideal lens position is determined based on focus sharpness over at least a plurality of pixels at the camera sensor of at least one projected calibration target as focused by the camera lens on the camera sensor; and at least one computer-controlled welder that is adapted to perform welding together of at least two metal parts of the camera after the camera lens is positioned by the robotic arm in the ideal lens position with respect to the camera sensor such that the camera lens is permanently maintained in the ideal lens position.
