Thermal imaging camera with 90° lens

December 2015 Temperature Measurement

The Optris PI 640 thermal imaging camera is now available with two additional changeable lenses. Lenses with 33°, 60° and 90° fields of view are now available for different measuring tasks and customer requirements. “With this offer, we are launching the first reasonably priced VGA thermal imaging camera with a 90° lens,” explains Torsten Czech, product marketing manager at Optris. “The offer includes both calibration and open source software.”

The Optris PI 640 is used in a wide range of industries worldwide. Applications often have very little space between the measured object and the thermal imaging camera. This is where IR users require greater flexibility. The proprietary software also enables the use of the thermal imaging camera as a line scanner, allowing it to reach a scanning angle or field of view (FOV) of up to 120°.

Developed, manufactured and calibrated in Germany, the lenses have unique components, including the germanium lenses typically used in the longwave infrared range (LWIR), where each respective lens is calibrated for the thermal imaging camera.

The open source software included is free of charge. Optris offers a discount on the cost of adding another lens to the thermal imaging camera, including calibration.
