Description
The Optris PI 08M is a short-wavelength thermal camera for complex laser manufacturing processes. It operates at 0.78–0.82 µm. The infrared camera targets hot, reflective surfaces so that temperature data stays reliable in NIR and CO2 laser work. Its wide range, high accuracy, and flexible field of view combine to make one thermal camera fit demanding industry needs.
Conventional long-wave imagers struggle with metals. Emissivity is low and unstable, so readings drift. The PI 08M thermal camera measures where many metals emit more strongly, so that repeatability improves and reflection errors drop. Planck’s law favors short wavelengths at high temperatures, so that the emissivity uncertainty has less impact. Choose a short-wavelength thermal camera for reflective, high-temperature tasks so that process control stays precise and stable. Optris builds the thermal camera in Germany, so that quality and reliability remain high.
The thermal camera for laser manufacturing measures continuously from 575 °C to 1900 °C (1067 °F to 3452 °F). It keeps a strong distance-to-spot ratio so that standoff readings remain accurate. Acquisition adapts to speed: 764 × 480 at 32 Hz for detail, 382 × 288 at 80 Hz for motion, and 72 × 56 at 1 kHz for rapid events. A 764 × 8 sub-image at 1 kHz enables line scanning, so that strips, seams, or rotating parts get continuous thermal profiles.
The thermal camera connects via USB so that setup and data transfer stay simple. PIX Connect adds line scanning, image merging, and radiometric analysis so that teams process data efficiently. Developer kits support custom software, so that integrators can tailor the PI 08M infrared camera to industrial and research needs.
