The Optris CSlaser 2M infrared thermometer is specifically engineered for precise temperature measurement of metallic surfaces, metal oxides, and ceramics. This pyrometers short measuring wavelength ensures accurate readings across a wide range of materials. Equipped with an innovative double laser sight, it offers precise marking of the measuring spot, enhancing measurement accuracy. With temperature ranges from 250 °C to 1600 °C, measuring spots starting from 0.5 mm, and response times as low as 10 ms, this IR sensor is suitable for various industrial applications. Available in temperature ranges of 250 °C to 800 °C (2ML) or 385 °C to 1600 °C (2MH), and featuring IP65 (NEMA-4) front-mountable design for vacuum processes (up to 10–3 mbar), the CSlaser 2M is adaptable to diverse industrial settings.
The CSlaser 2M sensor offers a wide range of temperature measurement options tailored to specific requirements, spanning from 250 °C to 800 °C (2ML) or 385 °C to 1600 °C (2MH). The pyrometers high optical resolution enhances precision and allows distance-to-spot size ratios of 150:1 (2ML) and 300:1 (2MH), ensuring accurate temperature readings even from far distances. The infrared sensor maintains exceptional system accuracy, with deviations of ±(0.3% of reading +2 °C) at an ambient temperature of 23 ± 5 °C, providing reliable radiometric temperature data for various metal applications. Additionally, this infrared thermometers outstanding repeatability, with variations of ±(0.1% of reading +1 °C) under similar ambient conditions, highlights its consistency and reliability in temperature monitoring tasks.
The InGaAs detector, with a specialized short wavelength spectral range of around 1.6 µm, accurately measures temperatures in hot metal applications. This thermal non-contact sensor is frequently used in these applications, including processing steel, tungsten, iron, nickel, and semiconductors.
The CSlaser is a versatile instrumentation tool that can function as an analog device, providing a 4-20 mA signal and including an alarm output (open-collector). Equipped with a standard two-wire interface, the infrared sensor ensures easy cabling and reliable data transfer to a PLC. For digital communication, the optional USB connection cable is necessary. This kit, in combination with the software, enables fast sensor parameterization and the recording and analysis of measurement data. In digital mode, the sensor and the laser are powered via the 5 V from the USB interface. The infrared sensor offers two modes of digital bidirectional communication, allowing data to be sent and received in both directions, and a unidirectional mode where the sensor only sends data in burst mode. Furthermore, the CSlaser can operate in digital mode while simultaneously functioning as an analog device, with the sensor powered by the USB interface.
A remarkable feature of the CSlaser 2M series is its double laser aiming marks, which indicate the actual spot location and provide valuable information about the spot size. This visualization ensures operators have a clear understanding of the measurement area, enhancing temperature monitoring accuracy, supporting exact alignment, and reducing measurement errors. The two laser beams follow the infrared optical path to mark the position of the measuring spot at any distance, unlike many IR thermometers with single lasers that only mark the center of the spot. These infrared pyrometers are primarily used in industrial areas, research, and development, where small measurement spots are crucial for precise temperature measurement. Different focus versions allow flexible adjustments for various applications.
The CSlaser 2M series takes temperature measurement to the next level with its exceptional optical resolution, reaching up to 300:1. This ensures precise and reliable temperature data even in narrow field-of-view conditions. Available in multiple versions with different close-focus optics, the CSlaser 2M series offers unparalleled accuracy and versatility in non-contact temperature measurement technology.
Equipped with Optris accessories such as air purging, mounting flanges, and other add-ons, the Optris CSlaser 2M pyrometer enables integration into many manufacturing and process applications. Designed and manufactured in Germany, these pyrometers undergo careful calibration to government standards such as PTB or NIST. Customization options, including different cable sizes, are available. Optris provides comprehensive support, including consultation on industrial applications and after-sales assistance.
In summary, the Optris CSlaser 2M series combines precision, durability, and adaptability, making it an excellent solution for accurate non-contact temperature measurement in a wide range of industrial settings.
