The Optris PI 1M stands out as a short-wavelength infrared camera that combines innovation, affordability, and precision. It excels in non-contact thermal imaging of challenging objects, operating within the short-wavelength infrared range (1M: 0.85 – 1.1 μm). This forward-looking infrared camera is specifically engineered to capture measurement data for precise surface temperature analysis of hot steel, iron, brass, copper, tin, carbon, ceramics, and semiconductors. It addresses the rigorous demands of various industries with its wide elevated temperature measurement ranges, exceptional accuracy, and customizable field-of-view configurations. Many measurement objects made of non-shiny materials exhibit high and relatively constant emissivity, regardless of their surface consistency, especially in long-wave spectral ranges. However, metallic and shiny materials often have low emissivity at long infrared wavelengths. This low emissivity in the long wavelength infrared bandwidth can lead to varying and unreliable measuring results. Furthermore, the Optris PI 1M is specifically engineered for metal-based additive manufacturing applications. Its compatibility with an optional notch filter makes the infrared camera ideally suited for nearly all laser processing applications. The spectral range of the short wavelength PI 1M infrared camera aligns with the highest emissivity of most metallic materials, simplifying remote temperature measurement. Additionally, according to Planck’s radiation law, exponentially more infrared radiation is emitted in the short wavelength range.
