CSmicro 2M

Precise temperature measurements are paramount, especially when using pyrometers. However, industrial settings present unique challenges that can affect temperature accuracy. Optris recommends short-wavelength or mid-range pyrometers for their resilience against emissivity variation and superior optical resolution, ensuring consistent performance in real-world conditions. Engineers must carefully consider factors like wavelength selection, calibration accuracy, optics quality, and temperature range to mitigate potential errors from optical limitations, emissivity changes, reflections, and misalignment.

Enter the Optris CSmicro 2M pyrometer, purposefully designed to measure temperatures ranging from 250 °C to 1600 °C. With its specialized spectral range of 1.6 µm, this pyrometer excels in accurately measuring metal temperatures. Its compact infrared measuring head facilitates easy installation in tight spaces, enabling cost-effective mechanical integration. This thermal non-contact sensor finds frequent use in hot metal applications such as steel, tungsten, iron, nickel, and semiconductors.

Boasting an impressive distance-to-spot size ratio of up to 75:1, the CSmicro 2M ensures precise temperature measurements even from a distance. Its compact size and temperature resistance of up to 125 °C make the infrared sensor ideal for machinery integration, particularly in manufacturing environments. With a rapid response time of just 8 ms, CSmicro 2M sensors deliver swift and accurate temperature readings.

The CSmicro 2M series offers versatility with various versions featuring different optics, distance-to-spot size ratios, maximal head temperatures, and output types. The infrared pyrometer supports analog outputs like 4-20 mA, 0-5 V, or 0-10 V voltage output, digital alarms, and serial communication over RS232, facilitating seamless integration into control systems. Additionally, CSmicro series with mA output supports two-wire output operation to cater to diverse measurement requirements.

Engineered to withstand harsh conditions, the CSmicro 2M pyrometer ensures accurate temperature measurements in demanding environments. Its thermal shock-resistant design guarantees consistency despite ambient temperature fluctuations. The robust stainless steel measuring head with an M12x1 thread simplifies integration into confined spaces, expanding its applicability across various industries. An intelligent LED display offers versatile functionality, including alarm signaling and self-diagnosis, while electronic components within the cable enhance the measuring head’s resistance to high temperatures. Optional USB kits and software simplify configuration and enable temperature recording over time, while additional accessories like air purging enhance the pyrometers capabilities. These pyrometers are designed and manufactured in Germany, carefully calibrated to government standards such as PTB or NIST. For large-quantity OEM customers, customization options, such as different cable sizes, are available. As with all Optris products, application engineers are on hand to discuss industrial applications and provide after-sales support.
