Instrotech has announced the availability of the Optris PI camera featuring online thermal imaging systems and claiming impressive cost-to-performance ratios. Developed to thermally determine objects and automatically detect hot or cold spots, typical applications are research and development, test stations, process automation and portable measurement tasks.
The instrument covers a range of temperature measurements between -20°C and 1500°C. The camera, once connected to a PC with USB 2.0, can be used immediately after connection. The Optris PI Connect software displays the captured temperature data as a thermal image, while remotely controlling the camera.
Based on a small, uncooled bolometer (UFPA) with 160x120 pixels or 382x288 pixels, the system delivers thermal images in real-time with a frequency of up to 128 Hz. Fast processes can be captured and stored as snapshots or video sequences and it’s possible to detect the smallest temperature differences of an object due to the unit’s high thermal sensitivity range.
The Optris PI200, using bi-spectral technology, can combine a visual image with a thermal image which can be captured time-synchronously. In a ready-to-use format, the camera’s weight is no more than 320 grams, including lens and cable, and it measures 46 x 56 x 90 mm.
The thermal imager’s housing is rated IP67 (NeMA-4) protection class and can be installed in surroundings with temperatures up to 50°C. For applications of up to 100°C, the Optris PI, together with an air cooling system like the Vortex cooler’s air purge collar, protects the lens from dirt.
The optional cooling housing allows for the installation of the camera in rough, industrial surroundings and can be used for ambient temperatures of up to 240°C in combination with water-cooling systems.
