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.
