The long-standing proven thermal camera series PYROVIEW from DIAS Infrared in Dresden includes numerous models that differ in measurement temperature and spectral ranges, pixel numbers, optics and housings and can therefore be very well adapted to the different applications. They all have an Ethernet interface in common, which allows for loss-free and, according to the Dresden-based company, extremely low-delay data transmission in real time up to the maximum frame rate. PYROSOFT (online/offline) software packages specially developed for the cameras are available for image display and evaluation, as well as for connection to process control systems.

Now the PYROVIEW series has been extended to include two new models designed for non-contact temperature measurements between 650 and 1,800 degrees Celsius, particularly in the metallurgy and glass industries. The devices, designated as PYROVIEW 1600N and PYROVIEW 1920N, operate in the near infrared (NIR) spectral range between 0.8 and 0.9 micrometers (µm) wavelength, which minimizes emissivity-related measurement errors.

Because the intended applications often require high spatial resolutions, HD-Si sensor arrays (PYROINC 1600N with 1600 x 1200 pixels, PYROINC 1920N with 1920 x 1080 pixels) are used. They enable a maximum frame rate of 25 frames per second. For an easy adaption to different measurement distances and field of view sizes there are different standard, wide angle and telephoto lenses with motorized focus available.

Like all other PYROVIEW camera models the two new types are also available in two different housing versions. The devices PYROVIEW compact+ have an IP54 aluminum housing for universal applications. For particularly rough industrial environments, the PYROVIEW protection variant is available with an IP65 stainless steel housing, protective window, air purge and optional water cooling.
