Protect Your Infrared Investment: Seamlessly Transition from Micro-Epsilon to Optris IR Sensors

If you currently rely on Micro-Epsilon IR sensors, important changes are coming — and acting now can save your systems from costly disruption.

Micro-Epsilon has recently shifted away from its original infrared sensor supplier, Optris, who until now was the exclusive manufacturer of all Micro-Epsilon IR sensors. As a result, long-time users may soon face compatibility issues, software roadblocks, and hardware mismatches. Fortunately, there’s a smart, seamless solution.

Switch to Optris - The Original Manufacturer of Your IR Sensors

By transitioning to Optris-branded sensors, you ensure complete continuity with your existing systems—no hardware modifications, no software changes, and no retraining. It’s the same sensor you’ve trusted without the uncertainty that comes from a new supplier.

• Identical Form, Fit, and Function - Optris sensors are physically and electrically identical to the Micro-Epsilon models — the only difference is the label. Your systems will continue to operate as expected, with no need for design changes.
• No Software Disruption - Continue using the powerful TIM Connect software available only with Optris products. Starting June 30, Micro-Epsilon sensors will no longer support TIM Connect.
• Cost-Effective Replacement - Optris offers highly competitive pricing, often more affordable than Micro-Epsilon’s rebranded alternatives — making the switch a wise financial decision.
• Direct Cross-Reference Available - Easily find your Micro-Epsilon model on the Optris website to identify the exact Optris equivalent. No guesswork. No hassle.

Don’t Risk Compatibility Issues or Software Lockout

Staying with Micro-Epsilon now means switching to a new, unproven hardware/software ecosystem - with added costs, retraining, and risk. Optris lets you maintain the exact performance you’ve come to expect with none of the disruptions.

Industrial Infrared Temperature Measurement

Industrial infrared temperature measurement has revolutionized how professionals monitor heat in countless processes, from heavy manufacturing to delicate laboratory work. Optris, a global leader in this field, develops infrared thermometers, pyrometers, and thermal imaging cameras that quickly capture accurate temperature data from a safe distance. These instruments rely on the principle that every object above absolute zero emits infrared radiation. The amount and spectrum of this radiation change with temperature, allowing IR sensors to convert the captured energy into precise temperature readings.

Engineers often use the concept of blackbody radiation to explain infrared temperature measurements. Objects at different temperatures emit characteristic infrared wavelengths, and specialized detectors translate those wavelengths into voltage signals. Optris calibrates its devices using reference temperatures to ensure high accuracy and repeatability. Their IR thermometers and pyrometers focus on a specific spot and measure the IR emission from that region. At the same time, their infrared cameras gather information from a wider field of view to generate complete thermal images.

Many industries value these non-contact measurement tools because they deliver almost instantaneous feedback. Manufacturers of glass, metals, and plastics rely on Optris sensors to monitor extreme temperatures in continuous production lines. The glass industry often measures the surface temperature of molten glass and cooled products to detect anomalies and maintain product uniformity. Metal processors benefit from real-time heat monitoring during forging or heat treatment, improving product quality and conserving energy. Plastic molding requires close observation of part and mold temperatures to prevent warping and to ensure a consistent finish.

Optris cameras also help technicians spot thermal irregularities in high-density electrical systems. Overheating circuit boards or power modules are bright hotspots in a thermal image, and operators can intervene immediately to avoid failures. In 3D printing, engineers watch the temperature distribution on layers of molten material to refine the printing process and create more substantial final parts. Optris sensors also appear in fire safety applications, where early detection of elevated temperatures in waste disposal sites or bulk storage areas gives operators a head start in preventing catastrophic fires.

Infrared technology is valuable because it measures temperature without disturbing the target material. Operators minimize downtime by diagnosing issues or optimizing processes without shutting down equipment. The versatility and reliability of Optris devices reflect years of dedication to thermal measurement research and development. Industrial customers trust these products to help them reduce costs, enhance quality, and maintain safer work environments. By capturing infrared radiation from any target and converting it into accurate temperature data, Optris drives process optimization for some of the world’s most demanding applications.
