We are an Australian company with a growing international reputation
focusing on the design and servicing of high quality underwater
electronics used in harsh environments.
As machine vision cameras and hardware are increasingly deployed in industrial and harsh environments, many users have the need to package their equipment for long-term survivability. BlueZone engineering is founded on the need to package equipment for some of the harshest environments that are encountered – deep sea deployment for Offshore Oil & Gas and other demanding subsea applications.
The Water Corporation of Western Australia tasked BlueZone with the requirement to design and manufacture camera housings for eight Teledyne Dalsa Genie T2041 cameras and complete with Kowa 6mm lens. The application was for mounting the cameras on a pipeline crawler for long-distance inspection of partly flooded pipelines. Both the housings and associated junction tubes needed to be as space efficient as possible. Both were designed to be waterproof to 100 m depth and a hard-anodised finish on both items was required.
The cabling arrangement included mounting four cameras with ethernet pass-through, four serial conductors and power supply conductors. The four power pairs (eight conductors), were combined inside the junction tube and a standard hose fitting was used on one end to pass through four cameras and the combined power cable.

BlueZone’s approach was to build on the CC03 High Definition Drop Camera design for underwater seabed inspection to depths of 100m. The proven reliability and capability of this design were a good starting point for a camera enclosure for harsh conditions.
Full advantage of in-house 3D printing capability was taken for rapid design and manufacture of a specialised mounting bracket. This bracket enabled infinite rotation of the camera inside the housing for required alignment between cameras to support image stitching software.
