TThe Optris Xi 05M MeltScope, a short-wavelength infrared camera, excels in non-contact thermal imaging of challenging objects. The infrared camera accurately measures the surface temperatures of hot molten metals, steel, or ceramics. With its autonomous thermal measurement capability and motorized focus, it offers reliability and ease in industrial settings, eliminating the need for additional hardware. Featuring Ethernet, USB interfaces, and analog and digital process interfaces, the infrared camera for molten metal enables seamless integration into control systems and machinery.
Non-reflective materials typically exhibit high and stable emissivity across long-wave infrared ranges, regardless of surface texture. In contrast, metallic and reflective materials show low emissivity at long wavelengths, resulting in unreliable temperature readings.
The short-wavelength spectral range of the Optris Xi 05M MeltScope thermal camera matches the peak emissivity of most metals, enabling accurate non-contact temperature measurement. According to Planck’s law, shorter wavelengths emit more infrared radiation, reducing emissivity-related errors and improving repeatability. Therefore, reflective materials at high temperatures should be measured using the shortest feasible wavelength.
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 × 300 pixels) measures temperatures from 950°C to 2450°C without sub-ranges. Its high distance-to-spot ratio allows precise measurements from afar, while the motorized focus enables remote adjustment.
Built for industrial reliability, the compact and waterproof thermal camera supports fixed or mounted installations. In addition, featuring Ethernet and USB interfaces, it delivers 20 Hz imaging and integrates easily into control systems. Additional features include automatic spot detection, analog output (0/4–20 mA), and fieldbus compatibility (Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP, RS485, Profinet). Optional accessories such as water cooling and air purges extend its use in harsh environments.
