Innovation in Quality Assurance: IR thermometer with automatic snapshot function

optris® CSvideo 2M and CTvideo series video pyrometers for visual process documentation

Temperature management is a key factor in industrial quality assurance. The digital infrared thermometers with video module optris® CSvideo 2M, optris® CTvideo 1M/2M and optris® CTvideo 3M come with the free optris® Compact Connect software, which is the optimum solution to this requirement. The built-in trigger function enables the automatic generation of snapshots at specified intervals (time-controlled) or upon reaching defined limit values (temperature-controlled). These snapshots are stored in customized manner. This enables manufacturers to implement single-part-based QA also in mass production and provides proof of quality to their customers. “The pin-sharp imagery with temperature stamps is highly persuasive,” says Detlev Könecke of IRIS Infrared Innovation Systems. In addition, all data is provided in Excel spreadsheets.

A useful tool across all industries
These video pyrometers measure in the range between 50 °C and 3000 °C so that they can also be used in high-temperature applications. Integrating them in high-speed processes is not a problem either, thanks to response times as short as 1 ms. The adjustable focal lens is able to focus at very close distances starting at 90 mm. Exact spot marking is possible at distances as small as 0.5 mm.
