Precision Short wavelength Thermal Camera for 3D printing, Laser Processing, 575 °C to 1900 °C

The Optris PI 08M is a short wavelength infrared camera designed for precise, non contact temperature measurement of challenging materials, especially reflective metals used in metal additive manufacturing with NIR and CO₂ lasers. Operating in the 0.78–0.82 µm spectral range, it provides improved measurement reliability on metals by reducing emissivity related errors compared to long wave infrared cameras.

With a temperature measurement range of 575°C to 1900°C, high accuracy, and a high distance to spot size ratio, the PI 08M is suitable for demanding industrial applications. It offers flexible imaging options, including 764 x 480 pixels at 32 Hz, 382 x 288 pixels at 80 Hz, and high-speed measurement up to 1 kHz for fast processes and line scanning applications.

The camera connects via USB and works with PIX Connect software for advanced thermal image processing, line scanning, and data acquisition. It also supports accessories such as water cooled housings and air purges for harsh environments, making it a versatile solution for research, automation, and industrial temperature monitoring.
