Purchase Optris IR thermometers online at Automation24 now

At Automation24, in the process instrumentation category, you can see for yourself the advantages that tried and tested infrared temperature sensors from Optris offer at affordable prices.

Within the temperature and humidity measurement range, you will find the CSmicro ultra-compact infrared thermometer kits, which are suitable for low operating temperatures and are intended specifically for installation in applications with limited space.

The available CSmicro LT 15s work within a spectral range from8 to 14 µm and are intended for the temperature measurement of non-metallic surfaces within a range from -50 to 1,030°C. They feature a response time of 14 ms and have an optical resolution of 15:1. You can choose between versions with an analogue mV or analogue mA output.

In the for of the CSmicro 3MH, another pyrometer model from the compact series is now available that, with a spectral range of 2.3 µm is specifically suited for the temperature measurement of metal surfaces. The available IR thermometer has an optical resolution of 33:1 and a response time of 20 ms. CSmicro 3MH is designed for a temperature range from 50°C to 600°C.

In addition to the particularly compact IR pyrometer kits, you can also purchase solutions from the CS LT series, which are designed especially for OEM solutions and are ideal for the multiple use of infrared measuring points. This sensor series covers a spectral range from 8 to 14 µm and has a response time of 14 ms. In so doing, it can withstand temperature ranges from -50 °C to 1,030 °C, requiring no additional cooling in ambient temperatures of up to 80 °C.

If you want to contactlessly measure temperatures from -50 to 975 °C , then the infrared temperature sensor kits from the LT series are available.

All sensors within the series are characterised by the fact that they have the smallest infrared measuring heads in the world, and on account of their separate electronic boxes. The box combines a configuration and display function, as well as numerous digital interfaces, including USB, CAN bus, Profibus DP, Ethernet, RS232, and RS485.

The CT LT15 model has an optical resolution of 15:1, while the CT LT22 version has a 22:1 resolution. Thanks to the spectral range from 8 to 14 µm, both versions enable precise temperature measurements with a response time of 150 ms. These model versions also operate without cooling at temperatures up to 80 °C.

If you want to detect particularly small objects with optimal precision, then the CTlaser and CSlaser from the LT family, also available in a kit, is the right solution for you. The IR pyrometer detects small objects from 16 mm at a distance of 1,200 mm and with an optical resolution of 75:1. Thanks to its short configuration time of 120 ms, the model is suitable for monitoring and fast working processes.

Thanks to its spectral range of 2.3 µm, the CT 3MH Kit is an ideal and affordable specialist solution for temperature measurements in metals within a scalable range from 50 °C to 600 °C. The IR pyrometer is also suitable for measurements through glass. Thanks to the compact infrared measuring head, the kit requires relatively little space during installation, which enables simple mechanical integration in various areas of application.

By means of an analogue output and an alarm output, all Optris infrared temperature sensors guarantee flexible system integration and efficient temperature monitoring, with adjustable warnings when critical temperature limits are reached. Also worth mentioning is the practical LED display, which can be used for alarm signalling, temperature code display, self-diagnostics, and targeting assistance.

The Optris sensors can be easily configured with the optional USB adapter, e.g. via the IT Mobile app§ or via the Optris® Compact Connect software. These can also be used to adjust the respective temperature ranges. Included within the scope of delivery of all kits are the software, a head cable, a Micro-USB cable, USB-A and USB-C adapters, and a mounting bracket.

In addition to the IR temperature sensors, you can purchase the advanced thermal imaging camera Xi80 from Optris with a 50 Hz framerate and a resolution of 80 x 80 px. The camera combines the function of a pyrometer with a modern IR camera. Thanks to its automatic spotfinder, both the hottest and the coldest point on an image can be identified, and the measurement values transmitted without the need for an external computer connection. In so doing, different temperature ranges can be defined. Xi80s enjoy great popularity in OEM applications in particular.

The configuration of the camera is performed via USB interface, using the free PIX_Connect software or the IR Mobile app, which is also free to download.

Corresponding accessories from the accessories for temperature & humidity measurement category supplement the Optris range at Automation24. For versatile connection options with Optris products, you can purchase USB cables, USB, relay, and RD584 interfaces, and connection modules. Furthermore, air purge cuffs are available to protect measuring devices against external influences. Finally, you can also buy close-focus lenses for the thermal camera, which prove particularly useful in confined spaces, in order to focus on specific measurement areas in a targeted manner.
