Optris introduces new benchmarks within the area of industrial infrared thermometers regarding the size and robustness of the sensing heads. The miniaturized sensing heads are especially developed for the use in small and cramped surroundings and are perfect for applications with limited space, such as midgest instruments and engine constructions. The very advantageous cost-performance-ratio supports the integration within OEM solutions and simultaneous use of the measurement devices at multiple infrared measuring facilities.

The compact series devices offer inimitable advantages for the installation in applications with high surrounding temperatures, such as within the plastic or paper industry. The robust and ambitious design allows the sensing heads to be used for temperatures up to 250°C without additionally cooling. This advantage help to reduce the costs for mechanical installations.

The devices of the product group consit of an innovative double laser sight, in contrast to many pyrometers with single lasers which only mark the middle but not the size for the spot size. The two emitters are following the infrared optical measurement optical path to mark the accurate size and spot of the measuring field in every distance. Measurement mistakes will therefore be avoided.

The infrared thermometers of this class are mainly used in industrial area as well as research and development. Small measurement field sizes are of great importance for precise temperature measurement. The smallest spot size is marked by the cross over point of the two laser sights. The optris CTlaser 1M for example achievs a measurement field size of 0.5 mm in 150 mm distance. A number of different lenses allow a flexible adjustment for the single applications.

The thermal imager optris PI is a fixed infrared camera with an outstanding state of the art cost-performance-ratio. The camera is connected to a PC with an USB2.0 and can immediately be used after connection. The corresponding software optris PI Connect displays the captured temperature data as a thermal image. The software also covers the remote control of the camera.

The infrared camera optris PI is based on a small uncooled bolometer (UFPA) with 160 x 120 pixel and a pixel size of 25 µm x 25 μm. The camera delievers thermal images in real time with a frequency of 120 Hz. Measurement results can be collected and fieled as snap-shots or video frequencies. It is possible to detect smallest temperature differences at an object due to the very good thermal sensitivity (NETD 0,08 K mit 23° FOV) of the camera.


In a ready to use mode, the cameras weight is only 250 gram, including the lens and cable. Additionally she is one of the smallest thermal imager in the world (dimensions: 45 mm x 45 mm x 62 mm). In combination with a tablett-PC the camera can find use as a mobile solution for preventive maintenance or construction thermography. The optris PI therefore covers the existing gap between portable infrared snap shot cameras and pure fixed devices.

The Optris portable thermometers are charaterized by combining a modern industrial design with outstanding technical parameter. The high-class precision lenses assure the precise measurement of objects in short or long distances. The portable thermometer optris LS LT consists of a one of a kind, switchable lens. This means that smallest objects can be measured in a close-up range as well as in mean distances.

The portable thermometers of the optris MS series as well as the optris P20 LT consist of a single point laser to mark the middle of the measuring field. All additional devices to this series feature an innovative laser sight concept. This means that the radiation takes place within the infrared optical measurement course of beam and marks the accurate measurment field in every distance. For the portable thermometer optris P20 (1M / 2M) this is carried out by a double laser sight whilst the optris LS LT consists of worldwide patented cross hair laser sigth system.

All portable thermometers come with a LCD color alarm. This alarm offers to visualize a under-run over over-run of a defined temperatrue barrier with varying colores of the display background. The display of the optris LS LT can also flip according to the beholders position (integrated absolute position transducer).

All Optris products are supplied with a fitting software.

Optris offers the following software versions:
- The Compact Connect software is compatible with all thermometers of the compact and high precision series.
- Optris Connect is supplied with all portable thermometers.
- The optris PI Connect is used in combination with the infrared camera optris PI to record heat image videos and for analysis.

Optris offers additional accessories for the different product groups to enlarge the functionalities and the possibilities for applications for the customer.
