Infrared camera
Easy entry into industrial VGA thermography
Reliable temperature measurement is a prerequisite for the success of many industrial processes. Berlin-based manufacturer Optris presents the Xi 640 infrared camera, a new member of its Compact Line, which enables non-contact temperature measurement in VGA resolution for mechanical engineering and the supplier industry.
With its Xi Compact Line, Optris combines the advantages of thermal imaging cameras with the benefits of infrared thermometers. The Xi 640 VGA infrared camera offers an optical resolution of 640 x 480 pixels and a frame rate of 32 Hz in the spectral range of 8 - 14 µm. This allows thermal processes to be monitored at temperatures between -20 °C and 900 °C. Optris has also 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
The Xi 640 uses a motorized focus for convenient focusing from a distance. Image processing is carried out using the free PIX-Connect software with line scan function, which is 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 also offers accessories, such as an air purge attachment, mounting bracket or a water cooling housing that enables ambient temperatures of up to 250 °C.
Thanks to its precision, robustness and flexibility, the Xi 640 is suitable for use in mechanical engineering or the OEM sector. The compact camera is the simple and reliable entry into VGA thermography for various industries.
