Thanks to their uncooled detector technology, the Optris infrared cameras offer a cost-effective yet high-performance design with low power consumption, long operating life, and compact size. The camera, equipped with a 382 x 288 uncooled microbolometer infrared detector, creates exceptional-quality thermal images. It captures the finest heat fingerprint for operators who seek thermal insights into their applications.
Optris imaging systems are uncooled forward-looking infrared (FLIR) thermal imaging cameras optimized for stationary use. These FLIR cameras have an uncooled two-dimensional imaging detector that creates radiometric thermal images in the infrared wavelength range without utilizing mechanical rotating or oscillating moving mirrors. The uncooled bolometer technology strengthens a more reliable, inexpensive, and robust design, especially compared to traditional line scanner applications. These FLIR infrared cameras are designed, developed, and manufactured in Germany.
With a rapid response time boasting a frame rate of 80 Hz, the PI 400i facilitates swift temperature detection even in fast-paced production environments, minimizing motion blur. This high frame rate ensures exceptional image quality, particularly when the target is in motion, allowing for precise monitoring and analysis of temperature variations without sacrificing clarity or detail.
Unlike other infrared cameras with smaller pixels, the optimal pixel pitch size of 17 µm for long-wavelength infrared radiation allows a small measurement field of view (MFOV) of just 3×3 pixels.The Precision Line of Optris is distinguished by its superior radiometric measurement characteristics and high image quality, thanks to the high quality and larger size of optics. This design ensures minimal image distortion and uniform attenuation across the entire image, resulting in exceptional clarity and accuracy. Additionally, a diverse range of interchangeable lens optics is available to enable precise framing and maximize pixel count on the target to be measured, further enhancing the versatility and effectiveness of the Precision Line.
The PI 400i works with Optris PIX Connect software, available as a free download with updates provided on a no-charge basis. The PIX Connect package includes the ability to seek hot spot and cold spot locations, histogram, temperature profiling, image subtraction, and other thermal image processing tools. For researchers and process engineers, the PC-based PIX Connect platform offers a powerful thermal image processing capability that allows users to extract and document fully calibrated temperature measurements from any pixel in the scene. Time vs. temperature data can be extracted from live or recorded thermal video files with stored temperature data. The infrared camera offers versatile data collection capabilities, allowing engineers to capture the highest, lowest, and average temperatures from areas of any size or shape, as well as complex alarm signals. Moreover, engineers can replay stored thermal video frame by frame, enabling the capture and storage of radiometric images. This feature also allows triggering snapshots during temperature fluctuations, ensuring comprehensive analysis and documentation of thermal data.
The PI 400i infrared camera, along with the PIX Connect software platform, has been meticulously engineered to seamlessly facilitate the transmission of temperature data from the camera to external PLCs or control interfaces. With the Industrial Process Interface accessory, temperature or alarm data from specific areas can be transmitted to an external PLC via current or relay outputs. Moreover, the external triggering feature enables users to capture a single image or live video sequence when predefined temperature thresholds are met, ensuring precise monitoring and control of critical processes.
Manufacturing line temperature measurement, plastic thermoform temperature measurements, conveyor belt measurement, wallboard temperature measurement, and many other sheet-oriented industrial temperature measurement processes are supported with a special line scan feature of the PIX Connect software that converts the two-dimensional visual output from the thermal imager to a continuous display of temperature variations across a single line. With this mode, the infrared camera becomes the perfect replacement for bulky mechanical infrared line scanning cameras, using a fraction of the space necessary for mounting older mechanical line scan technology.
Built to withstand the rigors of industrial environments, the Optris PI 400i boasts a robust construction and durable design while also being the smallest camera in its class. Engineered for reliability and longevity, it performs consistently even in harsh conditions, making it the preferred choice for demanding applications. Whether in extreme temperatures or dirty and dusty environments, this rugged infrared camera delivers reliable performance, ensuring uninterrupted operation when it matters most. The small PI 400i camera head was designed to move easily from the lab bench to small spaces on the factory floor. The robust IP 67 (NEMA 4) can withstand ambient temperatures from 0°C to 50°C without any enclosures.
A comprehensive array of accessories is available to equip the camera for data collection and temperature regulation in even the most extreme process environments. Water-cooled enclosures are offered to safeguard the camera in ambient temperatures reaching as high as 315°C, complete with mounting provisions for the Industrial Process Interface mentioned earlier. Additionally, air purging accessories, rigorously designed and tested by the factory, ensure that the optics remain free from the attenuating effects of factory dust or vapors. For outdoor mounting locations, thermal imager outdoor enclosures with integral heating are provided, enabling seamless integration of the PI 400i thermal imager in outdoor settings.
