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 free optris® Compact Connect software, providing the best solution for this requirement. The built-in trigger function enables the automatic generation of snapshots at specified intervals (time-controlled) or when reaching defined limit values (temperature- controlled).

These snapshots are stored systematically. This enables manufacturers to implement single-part-based QA in mass production and provides proof of quality to their customers. “The pin-sharp imagery with temperature stamps is highly persuasive,” says Detlev Ko¨necke of IRIS Infrared Innovation Systems. Data is also accessible in Excel.

A useful tool across all industries

These video pyrometers measure in the range 50 °C to 3000 °C so they can be used in high- temperature applications as well. 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 from just 90 mm. Exact spot marking as small as 0.5 mm is also possible.
