The Optris PI 08M stands out as a short-wavelength infrared camera that combines innovation, affordability, and precision. It excels in non-contact thermal imaging of challenging objects, operating within the short-wavelength infrared range (08M: 0.78 – 0.82 μm). This forward-looking infrared camera is specifically engineered to capture measurement data for precise surface temperature analysis for metal-based additive manufacturing processes involving NIR and CO2 lasers. It addresses the rigorous demands of various industries with its wide elevated temperature measurement ranges, exceptional accuracy, and customizable field-of-view configurations. Objects made of non-shiny materials typically exhibit consistent emissivity across their surface, particularly in long-wave spectral ranges. Conversely, metallic, and shiny materials tend to have low emissivity in long infrared wavelengths, leading to inconsistent and unreliable measurements. The short wavelength range of the PI 08M infrared camera aligns well with the highest emissivity of most metallic materials, facilitating more reliable remote temperature measurement. Moreover, according 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. Consequently, for accurate temperature measurement of reflective materials at elevated temperatures, it is advisable to utilize short-wave infrared cameras, such as the PI 08M. The short-wavelength infrared camera is meticulously engineered and crafted in Germany to meet the demands of challenging industrial applications,
