New Xi 640 infrared camera from Optris

Easy entry into industrial VGA thermography
Reliable temperature measurement is a requirement for the success of many industrial processes . Berlinbased manufacturer Optris presents the Xi 640 in-frared camera , a new member of its Compact Line , which enables reliable , af-fordable and noncontact temperature measurement in VGA resolution for me-chanical engineering and the supplier industry .
With its Xi Compact Line , Optris combines the advantages of precise thermal imag-ing cameras with the benefits of infrared thermometers . The compact Xi 640 VGA infrared camera offers comprehensive , non-contact condition monitoring for indus-trial applications . With a high optical resolution of 640 x 480 pixels and a frame rate of 32 Hz in
68 FDPP - www . fdpp . co . uk the spectral range of 8-14 µ m , the VGA infrared camera can be used to monitor fast thermal processes at temperatures between -20 ° C and 900 ° C . Optris has 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
Like the other models in the Xi family , which has now grown to six models , the Xi 640 uses a motorized focus for convenient focusing from a distance . The image processing is carried out using the free PIX Connect software with line scan func-tion , which is also included . Important parameters are configured via a USB 2.0 in-terface ; 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 am-bient temperatures between 0 ° C and 50 ° C as standard . Optris offers a wide range of accessories for the camera , from the air purge unit and mounting bracket to the water cooled housing , which enables ambient temperatures of up to 250 ° C .
Suitable for mechanical engineering and many other industries
Thanks to its high precision , robustness and flexibility , the Xi 640 , like its sibling models in the Compact Line , is predestined for use in mechanical engineering or the OEM sector . The compact camera is the simple and reliable introduction to VGA thermography for various industries .
