Optris launches miniature IR camera

April 2015 Sensors & Transducers

Optris has launched the PI 640 miniature measuring video graphics array (VGA) infrared camera, which with an optical resolution of 640x480 pixels, delivers pin-sharp radiometric pictures and videos in real time.

With a body sized 45 x 56 x 90 mm and weighing only 320 grams (lens included), the PI 640 counts among the most compact thermal imaging cameras on the market. It can be delivered with industrial thermal imager equipment and comes with extensive licence-free thermography software which enables users to monitor and document measurements and to edit infrared video imagery.

Key specifications of the PI 640 are its temperature range of -20 to 900°C, the spectral range of 7,5 to 13 μm and the frame rate of 32 Hz.

The camera finds application in industrial applications where pin-sharp infrared pictures and videos are essential for process monitoring and optimisation. The real-time thermographic images prove especially valuable for surveillance and quality assurance in the automotive sector, plastics, as well as semiconductor and photovoltaic industries.
