Stay cool! Simply cooled industrial cameras


Always cool – even when it is hot.


Whenever it gets too hot in your environment, our CX.XC cameras with integrated cooling pipe for compressed air or liquids are the ideal solution. They dissipate the heat immediately where it is created – without any additional cooling components. This is space- and cost-saving, while offering perfect images for highly precise measurement and inspection tasks.
