The optris CTglass is designed for accurate glass temperature measurements on flat glass lines, professional container glass machines, in the bulb manufacturing, car glass finishing and the production of solar panels in the temperature range of 100 up to 1650°C.

The measuring wave lenght of 5,2µm provides a low depth of penetration for the infrared measurement , because the transmission of glass within 5,2µm is very low. With the use of shorter wave length the infrared thermometers would measure through the glass, with a longer wave length reflection effects occure.

A wide field of applications in the production of flat glass, construction glass and automotive glass are measurements in bending ,annealing and tempering zones to get a high homogeneity of the whole glass panel.

A very modern field of applications we find in semiconductor processing and the manufacturing of industrial solar cell panels where glas is used beside other materials as a basic substrate.

The double professional laser aiming of the optris CTglass marks the real spot location and spot size up from 1mm at any distance. This helps in all modern applications where “size of spot matters”.

A robust but yet compact stainless steel sensor head is adaptable to common industrial mountings.

The optics 70:1 with selectable focus provides a smallest spot of 1mm , the smallest spot of competitors is 2,5mm in this class of devices.

The optris CTglass is usable up to 85°C ambient temperature without cooling and has an automatic laser switch off at 50°C . Cooling and protection accessories for harsh environmental conditions are available.
