Andres Defence PumIR 6Z+

• 1x clip-on design: The Andres Defence PumIR 6Z+ works as a thermal clip-on in front of a day optic, so the rifle keeps its familiar handling and zero while adding thermal detection for night hunting or observation.
• 640x512 sensor with 12.00 μm pixel pitch: This sensor format delivers a detailed thermal image and supports more precise target recognition, especially when scanning mixed backgrounds or identifying heat signatures at longer distances.
• 60.00 Hz refresh rate: Fast image refresh keeps movement looking natural when tracking animals or scanning from improvised positions, which helps maintain situational awareness instead of fighting image lag.
• F 1.0 36.00 mm objective: The fast lens gathers more thermal energy for a stronger image in difficult weather and low-contrast scenes, helping the device make better use of its sensor sensitivity.
• Compact 320.00 g aluminum housing: With its short 104.00 mm body and light weight, the unit adds less bulk to the rifle setup and is easier to carry on long outings or integrate into a compact thermal clip-on system.

About the Andres Defence PumIR Series

The Andres Defence PumIR series sits in the company’s thermal clip-on range as a compact system built for users who want to add thermal capability to a daytime optic without changing their shooting routine. These devices are designed around a 1x clip-on concept, which is important in practical use because it lets the day scope continue to provide the aiming interface while the thermal unit supplies the heat-based image. That makes the series relevant for hunting optics, observation and professional field use where familiar rifle setup and fast deployment matter.

Within the Andres thermal lineup, the PumIR family stands out for combining a 640x512 thermal sensor, Micro OLED display technology and a compact mechanical layout intended for front-of-scope mounting. Andres also describes its thermal-imaging development with technologies such as automatic flap control and subpixel collimation, reflecting a design focus on maintaining image alignment and practical field usability. The series is also notable for supporting an optional 2× afocal lens, which extends detection capability for users who need more reach from the same thermal platform. In use, the PumIR line is aimed at shooters and observers who value low weight, straightforward controls and a thermal clip-on format that integrates cleanly with existing optics.

About the Andres Defence PumIR 6Z+

The Andres Defence PumIR 6Z+ is a thermal clip-on system built around a 640x512 microbolometer sensor with a 12.00 μm pixel pitch and 40.00 mK temperature sensitivity. In practical terms, that combination helps the device separate small temperature differences more clearly, which is useful when game, people or equipment do not stand out strongly from the background. The stated 2000.00 m detection range gives the unit the reach needed for wide-area scanning, while the 36.00 mm F 1.0 objective supports strong thermal intake for better image formation in demanding weather and low-contrast conditions.

Because this is a 1.00 x clip-on with additional digital magnification up to 4.00 x, it is suited to users who want the flexibility to scan, observe and then work through a day optic without changing to a dedicated thermal riflescope. The 12.00 ° field of view and 210.00 m/1000m field coverage give it a useful balance between area awareness and image scale, which helps when searching hedgelines, field edges or woodland transitions. A Micro OLED display with 873x500 resolution provides the viewing image, while image capture, video recording and video output add practical value for documentation, training or post-event review.

The housing is made from aluminium and measures only 104.00 mm in length, with a weight of 320.00 g, so it remains relatively easy to integrate into a compact rifle setup. Waterproof, fogproof and shockproof construction supports field use across changing conditions, and the 18650 power supply with 8.00 h battery life is well suited to longer sessions where frequent battery changes would be inconvenient. Rear compatibility with the Pulsar Krypton Mounting Standard (M35x0.1) also helps when building a system around established clip-on mounting solutions.

About Andres Defence

Andres Defence products are made by Andres Industries AG, a German company whose roots date to 1999. The business has been based in Berlin, Germany, and has operated as a public limited company since 2006. In 2012, the company shifted its focus toward thermal imaging technology, which explains the strong emphasis its current range places on compact thermal devices for field and weapon-mounted use.

Its thermal portfolio includes the TILO goggles as well as the TigIR and PumIR clip-on systems, giving the brand a clear specialization in thermal observation and clip-on applications. Andres also describes proprietary thermal-imaging technologies such as automatic flap control and subpixel collimation, both of which reflect a practical engineering focus on image management and alignment. Within this lineup, the PumIR family represents the company’s compact clip-on approach for users who need thermal capability in a small, field-ready format.
