Garbage Bunkers
Preventative monitoring of a garbage bunker with an infrared camera end-to-end system Almost 1 billion tonnes of waste is generated worldwide each year, which is then disposed of and recycled in many countries via a comprehensive system of waste recycling plants. Heat is often produced in the refuse bunkers, culminating in smouldering nests, which can […]

Automotive engineering KraussMaffei
Using pyrometers to make high quality parts – temperature controlled with pinpoint accuracy Plastic parts are incredibly important in many different industries. New manufacturing techniques and combinations of materials are being developed all the time, particularly for demanding application areas such as automotive engineering. Continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastics, which are extremely strong but very lightweight at […]
Plastics Industry
Temperature measurement within the plastics industry The process and production temperature is an important physical measurement parameter for many process techniques used in the plastics industry. Non-contact temperature measurement with an infrared sensor system is thereby a very effective method for process monitoring and control. It supports companies to achieve high quality levels within their […]
Flat Glass Processing
Non-contact temperature measuring technology optimizes the quality of flat glass processing Non-contact temperature measuring technology plays an important role during the production of single-pane safety glass (SPSG), laminated safety glass (LSG) and other further processing of float glass. Point-measuring infrared thermometers and surface area-measuring thermal imaging cameras can be used in line with different processes […]
Glass Hardening Plants
Line Scan Cameras in the Glass Hardening Process For Optimal Breaking Strength After having been cut to their final form, the glass panes’ surfaces have to bee hardened. This process takes place in hardening plants in which the cut glass pane is heatet to about 600 °C in a furnace. After being heated, the material […]
Early fire detection
Infrared technology for fire protection – detect fires early In fire protection speed is everything. And that doesn’t only apply to firefighting. The faster a developing fire is detected, the greater the chance of keeping the damage to a minimum through timely intervention. Infrared measurement technology provides the possibility to detect fires very early. IRIS […]
IR cameras in electronics development
Infrared cameras in electronics development Temperature measurement of the smallest components There has been a distinct trend in electronics development in the last few years: packing density is increasing. Today, modern smartphones are much more powerful than they were only a few years ago, yet they are no bigger. The same applies to IT devices, […]
Siemens PLC Integration
Integration of IR temperature sensors into Siemens PLC environment The non-contact temperature measurement devices of Optris feature advanced interface concepts which allow an easy integration within networks and automated systems. The following technical note highlights the setup of thermal imagers via an RS485 module as well as of online infrared thermometers via PLC using PROFIBUS […]
How to measure on metal surfaces
Non-contact temperature measurement on metal surfaces via infrared To comply given temperatures is a process and quality defining factor during almost all industrial production stages. Contactless measuring infrared thermometers are well known for temperature measurements. This also applies for the measurement of metals. A proper monitoring and control of process temperatures requires very good guidance […]
