Xi 05M MeltScope by Optris

The Optris Xi 05M MeltScope, a short-wavelength infrared camera, excels in non-contact thermal imaging of challenging objects. It accurately measures surface temperatures of hot molten metals, steel, or ceramics. With autonomous thermal measurement and motorized focus, it offers reliability and ease in industrial settings. Featuring Ethernet, USB, and analog/digital process interfaces, it seamlessly integrates into control systems. Non-reflective materials exhibit high, stable emissivity across long-wave infrared ranges, while metallic/reflective materials show low emissivity, leading to unreliable readings. The Xi 05M's short-wavelength spectral range matches peak emissivity of most metals, enabling accurate non-contact temperature measurement. Planck's law shows shorter wavelengths emit more infrared radiation, reducing emissivity-related errors and improving repeatability. The Xi 05M offers autonomous hot-spot detection, ensuring effective monitoring and inspection. Designed and manufactured in Germany, it provides superior accuracy and stability compared to long-wave cameras. The mid-resolution detector (396 x 300 pixels) measures temperatures from 950°C to 2450°C without sub-ranges. Its high distance-to-spot ratio allows precise measurements from afar, with motorized focus enabling remote adjustment. Built for industrial reliability, the compact, waterproof camera supports fixed/mounted installations. Featuring Ethernet and USB interfaces, it delivers 20 Hz imaging and easy integration into control systems. Additional features include automatic spot detection, analog output (0/420 mA), and fieldbus compatibility. Optional accessories like water cooling and air purges extend use in harsh environments.
