Glass has been a mainstay of human life for centuries. Be it in the form of jewelry, the facades of buildings, or drinking containers, it comes in every size, shape and color imaginable. The most translucent material places very specific demands on non-contact temperature measuring technology.

As described in detail in our Glass brochure, reflection and transmittance are serious considerations.
Depending on whether one is measuring the surface temperature of the glass, or the temperature within the glass itself, specific infrared thermometers or thermal imaging cameras are recommended by Optris.
With the new Glass inspection system from Optris, there is a new approach to temperature measurement in the production of low-e glass. Low emissivity glass poses a major challenge for infrared devices which are traditionally measuring the glass temperature from above when the panes moved out of the furnace during production.
The new Bottom Up Glass inspection system solves this problem by having two infrared imagers installed underneath the tempering line which measure the temperature on the non-coated high emissivity side of the glass.
The combination of two VGA imagers with a maximum field of view of 111° results in an excellent 1600 pixels scan line resolution on maximum 4,3 m (14.11 ft) scan width.
An ultra-fast CTlaser 4M pyrometer with 90 µs exposure time combined with the digitally controlled lens protection system (DCLP) is a reliable safeguard for both infrared cameras in case of glass breakage.

The optris PI 640i G7 infrared cameras are the first industry-specific thermal imaging cameras in the PI series. Designed specially for the glass industry, this camera measures in only one spectral range.
The typical parameters of Optris cameras – high measurement speed (80 Hz), high optical resolution (640 x 480 pixels) and compact design – were kept to allow for the capturing of real-time thermal images of everything from glass beads right up to large panes.
The IR camera is used as a line-scan camera in the field of sheet glass production and offers various possibilities for documenting and controlling the process.

The IR analysis software optris PIX
Connect sets benchmarks within the thermography branch by offering its
users extensive recording and real-time analysis options. In addition,
moving measuring objects can be monitored via line scan function.
A real-time data transfer to external software programms, including
radiometric video sequences and snap shots, text files for the analysis
in Excel as well as files containing color information for standard
programs such as Adobe Photoshop or the Windows Media Player, is
supported by the software PIX connect.
The real time software optris PIX Connect sets benchmarks within the thermography branch and offers its users extensive recording and analysis possibilities.
With IRmobile you are able to monitor your infrared temperature measurement on a connected smartphone or tablet.You can analyze the live IR image stream from your connected camera with auto hot and cold spot detection. This app works on most Android devices running 5.0+ with a micro USB port supporting USB-OTG (On The Go).
The infrared thermometer optris CTlaser G7 is perfectly suited for precise temperature measurement of ultra-thin glass surfaces. It offers a broad temperature range from 100 °C up to 1200 °C and can be employed in temperatures of up to 85°C without additional cooling.
