NEW! optris Xi 1M and Xi 640: a "Knüller" in the World of Thermography
Xi 1M: Compact Industrial Autonomous Short-Wavelength IR Camera for Metal, Steel, Ceramics, Semiconductor Industry
The new spot finder infrared camera Xi 1M has a large continuous temperature measuring range up to 1800 °C and is perfectly suited for applications in the metal industry.
Spot finder infrared cameras combine the advantages of infrared cameras and infrared thermometers. They measure the temperatures for each pixel - in the new Xi 1M from optris, the highly dynamic CMOS sensor has a resolution of 396 x 300 pixels - and identify the maximum temperature within the image at 20 Hz. The new spot finder infrared camera is housed in a compact, robust housing and can therefore be easily integrated into various applications. With a manual motorized focus, the image can be quickly focused using the supplied software.
Continuous measuring range up to 1800 °C
With a spectral range of 0.85 to 1.1 μm, the Xi 1M is perfectly designed for temperature measurement on metal surfaces, melts, graphite or ceramics. The continuous temperature measuring range of 450 °C to 1800 °C, which is relevant for many applications in metal processing, also fits in with this. Compared to many other solutions, the new spot finder infrared camera does not require a measuring range switchover. The integrated spot finder function automatically measures the highest temperature within the camera's field of view. This is particularly advantageous in metallurgy, for example, when the molten metal is partially covered by slag.
Via an external process interface, up to 9 freely definable measuring fields can be further processed as analog outputs (optionally 0/4-20 mA or 0-10 V) or output as alarms via relays, which is ideal for use in the OEM sector.
The Xi 1M can be configured for autonomous operation (without a PC). The temperature values are then transmitted via a direct analog output. Fast Ethernet, USB 2.0 and RS485 are available as digital interfaces. Modern Industrial Ethernet interface like Modbus TCP or EtherNet/IP are also available for the Xi 1M as an option.
The Xi 1M is available with different optics, which enable aperture angles between 7° and 28° and works at ambient temperatures from 5 °C to 50 °C. Optional accessories, such as an air purge attachment, shutter or water cooled housing, help to ensure that the new spot finder infrared camera can also be used in difficult ambient conditions.
Xi 640: Compact USB High-Resolution VGA Infrared Camera for Industrial Use
Reliable temperature measurement is a requirement for the success of many industrial processes. Optris presents the Xi 640 infrared camera, a new member of its Compact Line, which enables reliable, affordable and non-contact temperature measurement in VGA resolution for mechanical engineering and the supplier industry.
With its Xi Compact Line, Optris combines the advantages of precise thermal imaging cameras with the benefits of infrared thermometers. The compact Xi 640 VGA infrared camera offers comprehensive, non-contact condition monitoring for industrial applications. With a high optical resolution of 640 x 480 pixels and a frame rate of 32 Hz in the spectral range of 8-14 μm, the VGA infrared camera can be used to monitor fast thermal processes at temperatures between -20 °C and 900 °C. Optris has equipped the Xi 640 with an "Auto spot finder" function, which can also be used to measure the temperature of moving objects without having to readjust the camera.
Motorized focus ensures a sharp image
Like the other models in the Xi family, which has now grown to six models, the Xi 640 uses a motorized focus for convenient focusing from a distance. The image processing is carried out using the free PIX Connect software with line scan function, which is also included. Important parameters are configured via a USB 2.0 interface; a USB-to-GigE converter is optional. The Xi 640 is supplied with a process interface cable and a USB cable. The thermal imaging camera can be used in ambient temperatures between 0 °C and 50 °C as standard. Optris offers a wide range of accessories for the camera, from the air purge unit and mounting bracket to the water-cooled housing, which enables ambient temperatures of up to 250 °C.
Suitable for mechanical engineering and many other industries
Thanks to its high precision, robustness and flexibility, the Xi 640, like its sibling models in the Compact Line, is predestined for use in mechanical engineering or the OEM sector. The compact camera is the simple and reliable introduction to VGA thermography for various industries.
