CTlaser Fast LT

High-Performance Two-piece Fast Industrial Infrared Pyrometer with Laser-Sighting

Crafted with German engineering precision, the Optris CTlaser fast LT series redefines industrial temperature measurement. This advanced, non-contact pyrometer delivers unparalleled accuracy, speed, and reliability for the most demanding production environments. Its innovative two-piece design separates the high-performance infrared sensor from the evaluation unit, offering exceptional flexibility for integration into complex machinery and tight spaces.
At its core, the CTlaser Fast LT boasts a superior 50:1 optical resolution, enabling precise monitoring of small or distant targets. It spans a wide temperature range from -50 °C to 975 °C, is optimized for non-reflective surfaces, and is ideal for fast-paced manufacturing processes in plastics, non-metals, and electronics. With rapid response times and configurable focal points (standard or different close focus optics), it captures even the most dynamic thermal changes with exceptional repeatability.
The instrument sets a new standard for usability and integration. It operates perfectly as a standalone unit, featuring intuitive double laser aiming for pinpoint alignment. The two-piece design of the CTlaser Fast LT includes a separate electronics box, enabling advanced signal processing capabilities. Offering a wide range of analog and digital outputs, including 0/4 – 20 mA, 0 – 5 V, 0 – 10 V, USB, RS485, RS232 interface, relay outputs (2 x optically isolated), Profibus DP, Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, Profinet, and EtherNet/IP, it ensures seamless integration into various industrial processes and control systems.
Whether fixed-installed for continuous monitoring or used in critical quality control points, the CTlaser Fast LT is your robust partner. It ensures consistent, precise measurements, safeguarding product quality, enhancing process efficiency, and driving innovation in industrial and research applications. Invest in German precision—invest in reliable temperature control.

Thermography software optris PIX Connect is included and license-free.All infrared cameras are delivered with the thermography software optris PIX Connect, developed specifically for the extensive documentation and analysis of thermal images. The Windows-based PIX Connect software enables users to tailor the infrared cameras to meet specific requirements. It analyses live and recorded temperature data and triggers alarm signals for process integration. The key to leveraging the Optris infrared camera is a correct configuration. This includes detailed device-specific configurations such as frame rate, measurement range adjustments, external communication settings, and USB/Ethernet configurations. Moreover, PIX Connect facilitates firmware updates and the download of configuration files over the Internet.

Optris offers several different SDKs for our Xi and PI thermal imaging cameras. Depending on the operating platform, the infrared camera, the coding language, and the hardware platform, different software interfaces can be utilized:

The Optris IRmobile allows users to set up and commission an Optris infrared pyrometer or infrared camera with an Android smartphone or tablet. This tool becomes handy for commissioning and aligning the infrared camera’s field of view or adjusting the configuration. The app analyzes the connected infrared camera‘s live infrared image stream with auto hot and cold spot detection. For pyrometers, a temperature-time diagram or the video signal is displayed. This app works on most Android devices running 5.0+ with a USB port supporting USB-OTG (On The Go).
