The Optris PI 1M IR camera is especially suited to measuring the temperature of metals, as these exhibit a distinctly higher emissivity at the short measurement wavelength of 1 μm than measurements in the previously conventional wavelength range of 8-14 μm.
The advantage of temperature measurements with the new infrared camera lies in the large amount of information in an IR picture/video, and the short reaction time of 1 ms for outputting temperature information of freely variable, individual pixels.
The use of these image sensors allows a large dynamic range for temperature measurement, so that the previously necessary use of relatively many and narrowly defined sub-ranges is no longer required. Intelligent measuring with a pyrometer is possible thanks to the two-dimensional temperature recording of the Optris PI 1M.
With the wide temperature measurement range of 450-1800°C that the camera offers, it satisfies practically all demands in the fields of metal production and processing.
Pertinent features of the Optris PI 1M IR camera include a highly flexible CMOS detector with an optical resolution of up to 764 x 480 pixels; frame rates of up to 1 kHz for fast processes; and real-time output of middle pixel at a setup time of 1 ms. It comes bundled with licence-free analysis software and a full SDK (software development kit).
