The Optris PI 05M is an ultra-short-wavelength infrared camera designed for precise non-contact temperature measurement of superhot targets. Operating within the short-wavelength infrared range (05M: 0.50 – 0.54 μm) and with a temperature range from 900°C to 2450 °C, it is tailored for pinpoint temperature analysis of molten metals and additive manufacturing processes involving NIR and CO2 lasers.

The Optris PI 05M is an ultra-short-wavelength infrared camera that effortlessly integrates innovation, affordability, and precision in the non-contact temperature measurement of superhot targets. It measures in the short-wavelength infrared range (05M: 0.50 – 0.54 μm). The Optris PI 05M is purposefully engineered for pinpoint temperature analysis of extremely hot materials, including molten metals, and for additive manufacturing processes utilizing NIR and CO2 lasers. Tailored for these demanding applications, it boasts wide elevated temperature measurement ranges with exceptional accuracy.

Featuring a lens with a field of view of 27° x 17°, the PI 05M delivers detailed and precise thermal imaging, enabling accurate temperature analysis even in challenging environments. This specialized configuration makes it well-suited for pinpoint temperature analysis of hot materials and intricate additive manufacturing processes, providing critical insights and facilitating precise control. While materials composed of non-shiny substances typically maintain consistent emissivity across their surface, especially in long-wave spectral ranges, metallic and shiny materials often exhibit low emissivity in long infrared wavelengths, leading to inconsistent measurements. The PI 05M’s short wavelength range aligns with the highest emissivity of most metallic materials, facilitating more reliable remote temperature measurement. Furthermore, adhering to Planck’s radiation law, the short wavelength range emits significantly more infrared radiation, minimizing the impact of linear emissivity issues on temperature measurement repeatability. Hence, opting for an ultra-short-wave infrared camera, such as the PI 08M, is highly recommended for precise temperature measurement of shiny materials at very high temperatures. Engineered and manufactured in Germany to meet the demands of rigorous industrial applications, this short-wavelength infrared camera surpasses its long-wavelength counterparts in precision, accuracy, and repeatability, particularly in challenging environments.

With its special spectral bandwidth at 05M and a continuous measurement range spanning from 900°C to 2450°C, this precise infrared camera is ideal for measuring the temperature of molten metals, superhot materials, and nearly all NIR and CO2 laser processing applications.

The camera offers exceptional versatility with a range of frame rates and sub-image options to suit different application needs. At a resolution of 764 x 480 pixels, it operates at 32 Hz, providing detailed imaging. When set to 382 x 288 pixels, it achieves a higher frame rate of 80 Hz, ideal for capturing fast-moving objects with clarity. For even faster applications, such as rapid temperature changes, it can operate at 1 kHz with a resolution of 72 x 56 pixels.

Furthermore, the camera supports a wide sub-image mode of 764 x 8 pixels at 1 kHz, which is particularly beneficial for line scanning applications, enabling precise temperature monitoring across a continuous line. This versatility ensures that the camera can adapt to various scenarios, delivering optimal performance and flexibility in temperature measurement and imaging tasks.

With seamless connectivity to a computer via a USB interface, the Optris PI 05M provides access to advanced software functionalities like line scanning and image merging through the PIX Connect software license. PIX Connect proves invaluable for researchers and process engineers seeking to integrate an affordable IR camera with a robust and free-of-charge software platform for thermal image processing and temperature data collection. Moreover, developer kits are available to integrators aiming to tailor software solutions for specific applications.

The PI 05M infrared camera isn’t just a standalone product; it’s a part of a comprehensive system designed for versatility and adaptability. It is compatible with a wide range of accessories specifically engineered to withstand harsh environmental conditions, ensuring its suitability for various settings. These accessories include a water-cooled housing that extends the operating temperature range of the camera up to 315°C. Additionally, air purges are available to maintain a clean lens, ensuring uninterrupted temperature measurement even in dusty environments.

Mechanical mounting accessories, electrical interfaces, and connection cables are also part of the suite of compatible accessories, all offered at an appealing price point. This compatibility reassures users that the PI 05M can seamlessly integrate into their existing setup, providing a reliable and effective solution for their thermal imaging needs.
