Precision Ultra Short wavelength Thermal Camera for Molten Metals,Laser Processes. 900 °C to 2450 °C

The Optris PI 05M is an ultra short wavelength thermal camera designed for non-contact measurement of high-temperature targets. Operating in the 0.50–0.54 μm spectral range, it is ideal for molten metals, reflective materials, and additive manufacturing using NIR and CO₂ lasers. Its short wavelength improves measurement accuracy and repeatability on metals by reducing the effects of low emissivity compared to long-wave thermal cameras.

The PI 05M measures temperatures from 900°C to 2450°C and features a 27° × 17° field of view for precise thermal imaging. It offers flexible imaging performance with resolutions up to 764 × 480 pixels at 32 Hz, 382 × 288 pixels at 80 Hz, and up to 1 kHz for high-speed applications, including a dedicated line-scanning mode.

The camera connects to a PC via USB and includes the free PIX Connect software for thermal analysis, line scanning, image merging, and temperature data collection. It is also compatible with accessories such as water-cooled housings (up to 315°C ambient temperature), air purges, and a range of mounting and interface options for reliable operation in demanding industrial environments.
