Infrared Application Packages

Ready to Deploy Infrared Measurement Packages for Industrial Requirements

Infrared cameras and pyrometers enable non-contact temperature measurement across many industries. Specific tasks, however, require purpose-built combinations of imaging heads, optics, and accessories. Curated packages assemble matched components for the most common scenarios.

For electronics and semiconductor research, packages combine high-resolution radiometric cameras with microscope optics to enhance imaging capabilities. These optics map detector pixels onto sub-millimeter targets such as semiconductor lead junctions. When required, the same setup can be paired with standard PI-Series optics to switch between full-field and microscopic thermography.

For maintenance and safety tasks, packages pair thermal cameras with visible-video modules, Ethernet converters, wall mounts, and protective enclosures. Hardware is specified for both hot and cold environments, supporting continuous condition monitoring of critical assets and early detection of fires and hot spots. Installed monitoring under all load conditions yields a more complete dataset than periodic handheld inspections.

For glass production, a bottom-up inspection package measures low-E glass at the underside of the sheet, where the measurement geometry ensures high temperature accuracy.

In industrial furnaces and kilns, the cooling of thermal cameras and pyrometers is another constraint, as these preconfigured and assembled packages are deployed to enable thermography in harsh environments.

High-performance infrared microscopes, condition-monitoring systems, furnace equipment, and glass-inspection solutions built for demanding industrial use.

Infrared Microscopes: Our thermal microscopes, including the Xi 400 and PI 640i models with MO2X microscope optics, deliver unparalleled detail and accuracy. With up to 2X magnification, these microscopes offer superior resolution and sensitivity, making them ideal for material science, electronics manufacturing, and R&D. The enhanced imaging capabilities allow for detailed thermal analysis and diagnostics at microscopic levels (up to 8 µm), providing insights that are invisible to standard optical microscopes.

Condition Monitoring: The Optris Xi 400 CM, PI 450i CM, and PI 640i CM systems are at the forefront of condition monitoring technology in outdoor areas such as paper mills, sawmills, biomass power plants, scrap metal and waste recycling plants, and other large facilities. These preconfigured and assembled thermal camera enclosures continuously monitor thermal conditions. By detecting hotspots and other thermal anomalies, our systems help monitor extensive areas and provide early warnings on thermals.

Glass Inspection Systems: Our innovative glass inspection systems, which include both Bottom-Up and Top-Down approaches, are specifically tailored for the glass manufacturing industry. These solutions monitor the tempering and hardening processes, detecting any temperature inconsistencies that may lead to product defects. The Bottom-Up system measured temperature on the non-coated high-emissivity side of the glass from below. In contrast, the Top-Down system provides temperature data during the hardening process from above the glass line. With features like automatic emissivity correction and glass breakage protection shutters, these thermal solutions ensure that each glass product meets the highest standards of quality and consistency.

Industrial Packages: The Optris Industrial Packages protect the Xi infrared imagers in very harsh industrial environments. It combines the Xi fixed thermal camera with a water-cooled housing, air purge to protect from dust settling, a protective window and shutter, and a process interface. The complete system can withstand ambient temperatures of up to 250°C. The air purge and the shutter are particularly useful in environments with dust, smoke, or fumes, as they protect the thermal camera lens from contaminants.

Furnace Package: The Furnace Package is the perfect setup when an Xi 1M infrared imager should be installed on a furnace wall. The combination of the Xi thermal imager with its water-cooled housing and air purge flange ensures optimal protection in extremely harsh industrial environments. Designed to withstand ambient temperatures of up to 250°C, this robust system ensures reliable thermal camera operation in extreme heat conditions. The air purge flange, which can also be water-cooled, is particularly useful in environments with dust, smoke, or fumes, as it protects the camera lens from contaminants.

All Optris Infrared Application packages are engineered, assembled, and tested in Germany.
