Rigid mounting frame

A rigid mounting frame is a precision-engineered structural component within a Stereo Camera Array that provides stable, vibration-resistant support for multiple cameras. It maintains precise alignment and fixed distances between cameras to ensure accurate stereoscopic imaging and depth perception. The frame's rigidity prevents relative movement between cameras that could compromise 3D data accuracy. Constructed from materials such as aluminum alloy (e.g., 6061-T6 per ASTM B221) or stainless steel, the frame is designed to withstand static loads up to 200 kg per mounting point, depending on configuration. Surface treatment options include anodizing (Type II, class 2, black per MIL-A-8625) for corrosion resistance. The frame features tight tolerances, including flatness within ±0.05 mm (ISO 2768-mK) and hole diameter tolerance H7 (ISO 286), ensuring precise alignment. It operates in temperatures from -40°C to 85°C and relative humidity of 5% to 95% (non-condensing), with ingress protection ratings from IP54 to IP65 (IEC 60529). The frame's weight ranges from 1.5 to 3.0 kg, and dimensions vary from 200×150×50 mm to 300×200×80 mm, customizable per camera model. Mounting is facilitated by a standard metric thread pattern of 4×M6 (ISO 965), and machined surfaces achieve a roughness of Ra 1.6 μm (ISO 4287). This component is essential for applications requiring accurate triangulation and depth calculation, such as computer vision and 3D imaging. It is a part-level component within the broader product category of computer, electronic, and optical product manufacturing. The frame's design ensures that the stereo camera pair or array maintains calibrated baseline distances and angular relationships, critical for reliable depth perception. Verification of model-specific values and standards with the legal manufacturer or supplier is recommended before procurement.

The frame provides a fixed geometric reference platform that maintains consistent camera positions. By preventing flexing, bending, or vibration-induced movement, it ensures that the stereo camera pair or array maintains the calibrated baseline distances and angular relationships required for accurate triangulation and depth calculation in computer vision applications. The frame's rigidity is achieved through material selection and structural design, with tolerances such as flatness within ±0.05 mm and hole diameter tolerance H7. This stability is critical for maintaining the precise alignment needed for stereoscopic imaging, as any relative movement between cameras could introduce errors in depth measurement. The frame also provides mounting points with a standard M6 thread pattern, allowing secure attachment of cameras. Operating within specified temperature and humidity ranges, the frame ensures consistent performance in various environments. Its ingress protection rating (IP54–IP65) guards against dust and water ingress, further enhancing reliability. The frame's design and tolerances are verified against standards such as ISO 2768-mK and ISO 286, ensuring that it meets the required precision for industrial applications.
