Optris - Model Xi 80 LT ETH -Compact Industrial Autonomous Spot Finder Thermal Camera

The Xi80 LT ETH uses uncooled bolometer technology. As a result, it offers a cost-effective and robust design without moving optical components. Its compact housing suits fixed installations. Furthermore, optional water cooling, air purges, and protective enclosures extend operation to harsh environments. In addition, standardized interfaces and mounting options simplify integration.

Connection is possible via USB or Ethernet. However, the camera can also operate fully autonomously. Functions such as automatic hot-spot detection, direct analog output (0–4–20 mA), and support for fieldbus protocols (Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP, RS-485, Profinet) allow direct integration into control loops. A motorized focus, moreover, enables remote adjustment of measurement targets.

The Xi80 LT ETH runs at 50 Hz, which makes it suitable for monitoring fast processes. Advanced functions of the thermal camera, including line scanning and image merging, are available in the PIX Connect software. This smart thermal camera platform also supports radiometric recording, analysis, and data export. Additionally, developer kits are offered for OEMs requiring custom software integration.

Designed and manufactured in Germany, the Optris Xi80 is a compact and reliable tool for industrial monitoring. Thanks to its combination of affordability, robust construction, and imaging functionality, it sets a new standard for fixed-installation infrared cameras in production, quality assurance, and research.
