Description
The Optris PI 05M is an ultra-short-wavelength thermal camera for molten metal alloys and NIR and CO₂ laser processes. The infrared camera operates at 0.50–0.54 μm, enabling accurate measurement of hot, reflective targets with higher emissivity and reduced reflection error compared to long-wave systems. The thermal imager ensures stable temperature data in demanding, high-energy environments. Its continuous 900–2450 °C range (1,652 °F to 4,442 °F) and high accuracy allow one thermal camera to address diverse industrial tasks.
The PI 05M thermal camera for molten metal includes a 27° × 17° lens, so that it allows users to capture detailed thermal images and precise spot temperatures at practical distances. While non-reflective materials perform predictably in long-wave bands, metals do not, so that long-wavelength infrared sensors fail. This short-wavelength infrared camera aligns with the emissivity peak of most metals, improving measurement repeatability. At high temperatures, Planck’s law favors short wavelengths, increasing the emitted signal strength and reducing the impact of emissivity uncertainty. As a result, this thermal camera offers greater precision, accuracy, and repeatability than long-wavelength alternatives.
Flexible acquisition modes match process speed. At 764 × 480 pixels, the infrared camera records at 32 Hz, so that it keeps full-frame detail high. At 382 × 288 pixels it reaches 80 Hz, tracking fast motion without blur. For rapid transients, a 72 × 56 mode at 1 kHz captures millisecond events. A 764 × 8 sub-image line mode at 1 kHz supports line-scanner workflows for straightforward strip or seam monitoring.
The thermal camera connects via USB, so that works with PIX Connect software at no additional cost, so that users can perform line scanning, image merging, and radiometric analysis immediately. Developer kits are available so that integrators can embed the infrared camera into custom systems.
