The Optris PI 450i G7 is a 382×288 resolution infrared camera built for glass manufacturing, measuring surface temperatures from 150°C to 900°C (up to 1500°C optional). Its 7.9µm spectral range is tuned to glass’s peak emissivity, and its up-to-80Hz frame rate with 40mK thermal sensitivity makes it well suited to fast-moving float glass, tempering, and annealing lines. Enviro Middle East is the authorized Optris distributor for the UAE and MENA region, supplying and supporting this camera across the GCC.

Accurate glass temperature measurement depends heavily on emissivity, which varies with glass composition, thickness, and viewing conditions. The PI 450i G7’s 7.9 µm spectral range is matched to glass’s highest and most stable emissivity point, minimizing errors from reflectivity and transmissivity during non-contact measurement.
This spectral tuning also reduces the angle-dependency of glass surface emissivity, so accurate readings are possible even at inclined viewing angles — important when camera placement is constrained by production line geometry.
With a 17 µm pixel pitch, the camera can resolve small measurement areas down to 3 × 3 pixels. Larger, high-quality optics deliver clear, low-distortion images with even brightness, and a range of interchangeable lenses lets you optimize field of view for your specific application.
Capturing up to 80 frames per second, the PI 450i G7 is fast enough to reduce motion blur and maintain accurate readings on moving glass in production environments.
The PI 450i G7 brings the same line-scanning advantage as the rest of the G7 series to a more compact, cost-effective platform. The PIX Connect software’s line scan feature converts the camera’s full thermal image into a continuous, real-time temperature profile along any selected line — ideal for precision monitoring along production lines.
Traditional line scanners use a point detector and rotating mirror, making them bulky, expensive, and difficult to install.
With the PI 450i G7, any line from the detector array can be selected in software, with adjustable position and size — giving full setup flexibility while retaining the complete infrared image for additional context. The camera can measure surface temperature through small openings on fast-moving glass, tracking multiple points and feeding data directly to the process control system.
This lets the PI 450i G7 fully replace bulky mechanical line scanners in a much smaller footprint, while matching or exceeding their performance — making infrared line scanning more practical and accessible for a wider range of glass production setups.
The PI 450i G7 runs on Optris PIX Connect, included free with the camera and updated at no additional charge. PIX Connect provides:
The PI 450i G7 and PIX Connect integrate directly with plant control systems via the Industrial Process Interface, sending temperature or alarm data from defined areas to a PLC through current or relay outputs. External triggering lets you automatically capture images or live video sequences when temperature thresholds are met — keeping monitoring precise and hands-off.
The compact PI 450i G7 camera head is designed to move easily from lab bench to tight installation points on the factory floor.

📞 +971 4 420 1188
Q: What temperature range can the Optris PI 450i G7 measure? A: The standard range is 150°C to 900°C. An optional calibration extends this up to 1500°C.
Q: How is the PI 450i G7 different from the PI 640i G7? A: The PI 450i G7 uses a lower 382×288 resolution detector (vs. 640×480 on the PI 640i G7) and a slightly lower standard temperature ceiling, making it a more compact, cost-effective option for glass monitoring applications that don’t need the highest resolution or the 1500°C+ range.
Q: Why is the 7.9µm spectral range important for glass? A: Glass has its highest and most stable emissivity at 7.9µm, reducing measurement errors from reflectivity and viewing angle for more reliable surface temperature readings.
Q: Can the PI 450i G7 replace a traditional mechanical line scanner? A: Yes. Using PIX Connect software, any line from the camera’s sensor array can be extracted as a live temperature profile, replacing bulky mechanical line scanners with a smaller, more flexible setup.
Q: Is the PI 450i G7 available in the UAE? A: Yes. Enviro Middle East is the authorized Optris distributor for the UAE and MENA region and supplies the PI 450i G7 with local support and calibration documentation.
Q: What software does the camera use? A: It runs on Optris PIX Connect, a free thermal imaging software with hot/cold spot detection, histograms, line scanning, and PLC alarm output configuration.
