Lens Barrel & Housing Design
Precision barrel tolerancing, thread fits, cell spacers and retaining rings that hold centration and tip/tilt.
Service Overview
A lens is only as stable as the mechanical structure that holds it. AISYS designs machined lens barrels with the tight centration, tilt and airgap tolerances required for diffraction-limited optical performance under full environmental load.
Every barrel design ships with a stack-up analysis showing how manufacturing tolerances flow into optical performance — so mechanical trade-offs are made with full visibility into their optical cost.

Frequently Asked
What materials do you use for MIL / space?
Aluminium 6061-T6 baseline, Titanium Grade-5 for weight, Invar-36 for thermally-critical spacers.
Do you support hermetic sealing?
Yes — for IR sensor payloads we design nitrogen-purged, hermetic enclosures with feedthroughs.

Lens Barrel & Housing Design Delivered from Dilsukhnagar, Hyderabad, India
AISYS Engineering operates from 13-17-85, 2nd floor, Annapurna Complex, Dilsukhnagar, Hyderabad, Telangana 500060, India. Teams based in Dilsukhnagar work directly with clients across Hyderabad, Telangana and the wider India industrial corridor, with programmes routinely shipping to international customers.
Being anchored in Hyderabad — a recognised deep-tech and R&D hub — gives AISYS Engineering fast access to precision-manufacturing partners, calibration labs, semiconductor supply chains and the university research ecosystem across Telangana. That local density is what allows short iteration cycles, on-site FAT / SAT and reliable hardware-in-the-loop programme execution.
- On-site programme reviews and integration support across Hyderabad and Telangana
- Cross-vertical engineering teams co-located in Dilsukhnagar for tight iteration
- Delivery experience across India, supplemented by global remote collaboration
