Short wavelength infrared camera optris PI 1M

The newly developed thermal camera optris® PI 1M is especially suited for temperature measurements of metals, as these exhibit a distinctly higher emissivity at the short measurement wavelength of 1μm than at measurements in the previously conventional wavelength range of 8-14 μm.

In parallel with the visualization of a thermal process, the high-performance sensor electronics allow a short reaction time of 1ms for the displaying of the temperature information of the center pixel.

Areas of application for the thermal imager optris PI 1M

The ultra-compact infrared camera optris PI 1M is due to its short wavelength ideally suited for non-contact temperature measurements of metallic surfaces. Thusm it finds use for example in metal tempering and forming processes.

Thermography software optris PI Connect included

All IR cameras are delivered with the thermography software optris PIX Connect, which has been developed specifically for the extensive documentation and analysis of thermal images. It allows you to analyse temperature data in real time as well as the remote control of your infrared camera. Furthermore, you can setup individual alarm levels for your process and define visual or acustic alarm signals.

Our thermography software is licence free and can easily be adjusted to your requirements.
