Optris GmbH has developed the new cooling jacket optris® CoolingJacket Advanced for use with its infrared cameras and certain infrared thermometers in ambient temperatures of up to 315°C.

The new protective casing of the Extended version also offers the option of installing additional components such as the PI Netbox, the new Gigabit USB server or the industrial process interface. The modular design makes it easy to fit different devices and lenses. A quick-release chassis enables trouble-free installation and removal on site.

A complete one-stop solution
The new CoolingJacket Advanced is available in a Standard and an Extended version. Both versions serve as universal protection in extreme conditions for optris PI series infrared cameras as well as the CTlaser, CSlaser, CTvideo and CSvideo infrared thermometers. In order to withstand ambient temperatures of up to 315°C, the system is cooled with air or water.

The ethernet, USB and sensor cables are generally suitable for use in temperatures up to 180°C or 250°C and a cable cooling system for temperatures up to 315°C is available. An air purge collar is integrated as standard and protective windows can be selected as an option. Both protective casings (IP 65) measure 166 mm in width and 182 mm in height but differ in length: 271 mm (Standard) and 426 mm (Extended).
