Optris PI 640i now available with 120° ultra-wide-angle lens

120° lens expands the PI 640i’s existing optics portfolio

The new lens was specifically developed for applications where multiple process steps or stations need to be monitored simultaneously. Thanks to the wide field of view, a single camera is often sufficient to fully monitor large areas – such as rotary kilns, multi-stage production lines, or extensive indoor and outdoor facilities. When combined with additional PI 640i cameras and 120° optics, a complete 360° temperature monitoring setup is also possible.

“The new 120° lens is a true milestone for all applications requiring wide-area temperature monitoring at high heat levels – for example, in indoor facilities like waste incineration plants or in outdoor environments such as substations,” emphasizes Ingo Stahlkopf, Head of Sales at Optris. “Combined with the high resolution of 640 x 480 pixels and the exceptional thermal sensitivity of 60 mK offered by the PI 640i, this new lens delivers maximum safety and efficiency – even in complex production environments.”

The 120° lens complements the existing lens portfolio of the PI 640i (15°, 33°, 60°, 90°) and, like all versions, supports easy interchangeability and calibration. The camera is suitable for temperature ranges from -20 to 1500 °C and enables radiometric video recording at up to 125 Hz in subframe mode. The scope of delivery includes the license-free analysis and control software PIX Connect as well as a comprehensive SDK for individual integration solutions. With this new ultra-wide-angle 120° lens, Optris once again demonstrates its innovation strength and offers customers a forward-looking solution for the most demanding monitoring tasks.
