Compact sensors for space, limited applications

The Optris CSmicro Series is designed for reliable non-contact temperature measurement where installation space is limited. With a miniaturised M12 stainless steel sensing head, high ambient temperature resistance, and simple integration options, the CSmicro Series is ideal for OEM equipment, machinery, and industrial processes requiring compact yet capable infrared measurement.

These sensors support temperature measurement across a broad range of materials including plastics, glass, ceramics, semiconductors, and metals.

With model options suited to both high emissivity surfaces and low emissivity metallic targets, the series covers measurement ranges from -50 °C up to 1600 °C.

Why choose the CSmicro Series?

The CSmicro Series combines a small sensor footprint, robust industrial design, and flexible output options, making it an excellent choice for machinery builders, OEM integration, and applications where conventional sensor bodies are too large.

Optris states the series is particularly suited to installations where only small sensor heads will fit, with the sensing head measuring just 14 mm wide and 28 mm long.

Key benefits

  •  Micro-sized sensing head for tight installation spaces

  • Wide temperature range across different models

  • Stainless steel housing for durability

  • Ambient resistance up to 180 °C on selected models

  • Analogue output options including 0–5/10 V or 4–20 mA

  • Suitable for OEM integration and machine mounted applications

The series uses an embedded electronics design within the cable, helping the sensing head operate in demanding ambient conditions close to heat sources. Optional accessories include air purging, laser sighting, mounting flanges, and close-focus optics for smaller targets.

Built for compact industrial integration

The CSmicro Series is well suited to applications where non-contact temperature measurement is needed but installation space is limited. Depending on the selected model, it can be used across:

  • Plastic processing

  • Thermoforming

  • Manufacturing equipment

  • Glass related applications

  • Semiconductor processes

  • Metal temperature measurement

  • OEM instruments and machinery

For customers measuring high emissivity materials, the long-wave LT models provide a reliable option. For metal surfaces and specialist low-emissivity targets, the 2M and 3M models offer more suitable spectral ranges.

Small sensor.

Strong performance.

When machinery design leaves very little room for instrumentation, sensor size becomes critical. The CSmicro Series solves that challenge with a miniature sensing head while still delivering industrial-grade infrared temperature measurement, flexible outputs, and strong ambient temperature performance. This makes it a practical choice for manufacturers wanting accurate non-contact sensing without compromising design space.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the CSmicro Series used for?

The CSmicro Series is designed for non-contact temperature measurement in tight or space-limited environments. It’s commonly used in OEM machinery, manufacturing equipment, and industrial processes where a compact sensor is required without compromising performance. For applications requiring different configurations, you can also explore our complete range of Optris Infrared solutions.

How small is the CSmicro sensor head?

The CSmicro features an ultra-compact M12 stainless steel sensing head (approx. 14 mm diameter), making it ideal for installations where traditional sensors won’t fit. For applications where a standard housing doesn’t meet your spatial constraints, you can explore our custom ECE Sensors designed for specialized industrial needs.

 

Can the CSmicro Series measure metal surfaces?

Yes. Models like the CSmicro 2M and 3M are specifically designed for low emissivity materials such as metals, using short-wave technology for more accurate readings. To see how these compare to other high-performance targeting systems, you can view our complete selection of Optris Infrared pyrometers.

What temperature ranges are available in the CSmicro Series?

Depending on the model, the CSmicro Series can measure from as low as -50 °C up to 1600 °C, covering everything from plastics and food processes to high-temperature metal applications.

Can the CSmicro operate in high ambient temperatures?

Yes. Selected models can operate in ambient temperatures up to 180 °C without additional cooling, making them suitable for installations close to heat sources.

Is the CSmicro Series easy to integrate into existing systems?

Yes. The CSmicro Series offers simple analogue outputs (4–20 mA, 0–5/10 V) and compact cabling, making integration into PLCs and control systems straightforward for both OEM and retrofit applications.
