Compact-Line vs. Pro-Line: Essential or Adaptable
Portfolio

New Product Lines for Easier Camera Selection

InfraTec offers a wide range of high-performance infrared cameras for industrial and scientific applications. In particular, cameras in the ImageIR® series offer the flexibility to be customized up to the smallest detail to meet specific user requirements. Upon request, the modular cameras can be equipped with a filter wheel, motor focus, and features such as high-speed mode, HighSense, and MicroScan. These models, which are universally applicable or optimized for specific measurement tasks, are now grouped under the Pro-Line.

For users focused on cost-effectiveness, we are now offering cameras from the Compact-Line. These cameras combine key features with a compact design. Easy to integrate, they can handle a wide range of measurement and inspection tasks in industrial applications. Thanks to their lower initial investment, these models achieve a return on investment considerably faster.

ImageIR® compact: Focus on the Essentials
ImageIR® compact

Cooled Compact Camera Adds to Portfolio

With the new model series ImageIR® compact, we are now rounding out our product portfolio: This cooled cameras consistently combine top performance, a compact design, and an attractive price-performance ratio. The ImageIR® compact cameras make this possible by delivering what really matters for numerous industrial measurement tasks: reliable radiometric temperature measurement even during continuous operation, high image quality, fast frame rates, and easy integration into existing processes.

TarisIR® mini - compact radiometric camera designed for integration

Ideal for Process Integration and Drone Deployment

The uncooled counterpart to the new ImageIR® compact is the TarisIR® mini, which is ideally suited for OEM solutions due to its low power consumption and very compact design. Additional advantages of this compact microbolometer camera include its modern interface design for convenient camera control and data acquisition via a GigE interface, GenICam compatibility, and the Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) video interface. The latter makes the TarisIR® mini particularly attractive for aviation applications, such as deployment on drones.

ImageIR® z6300

Object Recognition with Impressive Range

High-performance image processing electronics, an integrated SSD, battery.powered operation, remote control capability, long-life cooler: The ImageIR® z6300 is suitable for a wide range of measurement tasks, including continuous stationary or airborne inspection and monitoring.

With the standard 15-to-115-mm motorized zoom lens, people can be detected at up to 6.1 km. An easy-to-install tele extender, for example, increases the focal length to 170 mm, enabling people to be detected at a distance of up to 8.2 km.

InfraTec | Heated die casting mould
DIECAST-CHECK

Automation Solution for Die Casting

DIECAST-CHECK is a new thermographic measurement system for the automated monitoring of die-casting processes. The solution performs contactless temperature measurements across the entire mold surface and detects local thermal deviations in real time. The data collected can be used to specifically improve process stability, part quality, and cost-effectiveness, as well as to reduce production costs.

Lens turret for a qucik and precise lense change
Lens Turret

Quick Lens Change, Precise Measurement

InfraTec's compact lens turret makes analyses with varying levels of detail a breeze. By rotating the turret, which can be equipped with up to five lenses, the desired lens or an additional sensor is ready for use almost immediately. Measurement processes, for example, those performed with the E-LIT test system, become more efficient and accurate, because the “region of interest” (ROI), once identified by the user, remains unchanged even when the field of view is different after a lens change.

Flare monitoring with thermal camera
INDU-SCAN

Reliable Flare Monitoring

Refineries, chemical production facilities, and gas processing plants are often equipped with flare systems for the controlled combustion of hazardous or excess gases. The INDU-SCAN solution for flare monitoring consists of an infrared camera equipped with spectral filters and a control computer integrated into the flare system’s central control system.  Using the INDU-SCAN software, this computer continuously monitors the flame temperature and flicker.
