Areas of application for the thermal imagers optris PI 400i and PI 450i

The high-performance infrared cameras optris PI 400i and PI 450i are employed for a variety of tasks in industries. The real-time thermographic images prove especially valuable for surveillance and quality assurance in the automotive sector, in the plastics branch, and in the semi-conductor as well as photovoltaic industries. Due to this type of thermographic cameras’ high resolution and the reaction speed, surveillance of manufacturing processes of moving measuring objects poses no problem. Possible areas of employment are e.g. process automation of measurement in rotary kilns or measurement of large amounts on conveyor belts during batch processes. The IR cameras also play an important role in medical prevention where they detect slightest temperature differences. They can even highlight veins under the skin due to their brilliant optical resolution of up to 40 mK.
