Compact Autonomous Infrared Camera Xi1M

The Optris Xi 1M is a short-wavelength, autonomously operating infrared camera (0.85 - 1.1 μm) designed for accurate, noncontact temperature measurement of hot, reflective materials such as steel, iron, copper, ceramics, and semiconductors. It combines innovation, affordability, and precision, making it a breakthrough in industrial thermal imaging.

Key Features:
With a resolution of 396 × 300 pixels and a wide temperature range from 450 °C to 1800 °C (without subranges), the Xi 1M excels in high-temperature monitoring. Its outstanding optical performance and motorized focus enable precise measurements from long distances. Industrial-grade and waterproof, it is ideal for fixed installations in harsh environments. Integration is effortless thanks to Ethernet, USB, analog outputs (0/4 - 20 mA), and support for protocols like Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP, and Profinet.

Innovative Aspects:
Unlike long-wave infrared cameras, the Xi 1M’s short-wave design minimizes errors caused by the low emissivity of shiny surfaces. Enhanced radiation intensity and higher emissivity alignment allow for more reliable and repeatable results. The camera also features autonomous hotspot detection and optional advanced software (PIX Connect) for line scanning and image merging.

Problems It Solves:
The Xi 1M overcomes the limitations of traditional IR cameras and pyrometers when measuring hot, reflective, or low-emissivity surfaces. It ensures accurate temperature control in environments where precision is critical, even under extreme conditions.

Applications and Markets:
Ideal for OEMs and process engineers, it serves industries such as metal processing, electronics, semiconductor manufacturing, and R&D. The camera supports condition monitoring, quality control, and integration into automated systems — delivering dependable performance at an accessible price point.More products
