Infrared camera PI 450i G7

digitalline-scanfor the glass industry

For temperature measurement, the emissivity of glass is an important factor. The PI 450i G7 infrared camera targets glass using a 7.9 µm G7 band at the highest glass emissivity. This ensures that surface temperatures remain reliable even at an angle. The thermal camera measures temperatures from 150 to 900 °C and can be factory-calibrated up to 1500 °C. The 382 × 288 uncooled microbolometer provides radiometric images, so the analysis is precise and repeatable. The 17 µm pixels resolve small targets with a 3 × 3 pixel spot, allowing users to measure localized details. Users can easily swap optics, which helps the field of view target the measurement object optimally. The radiometrically designed optics reduce image distortion and maintain consistent temperature readings across the image. This ensures that infrared measurement results, based on intensity measurements, stay accurate. Additionally, frame rates reach 80 Hz, allowing fast lines and moving parts to be tracked with low motion blur. The thermal camera can handle ambient temperatures up to 80 °C, making it suitable for installations near hot industrial processes. Its high thermal sensitivity allows for the measurement of the smallest thermal differences. Along with the thermal camera, the PIX Connect software enhances thermography capabilities. The software includes features like line scanning, hot/cold spot search, histograms, time-temperature curves, profiles, and merging. Moreover, accessories such as water-cooled housings can handle temperatures up to 315 °C, while air purges keep the optics clear. The Process Interface allows for direct integration.
