The CTlaser 2M series offers precise non-contact temperature measurement for metals, secondary metal processing, and ceramics, with a temperature range of 250 °C to 2000 °C. Equipped with an InGaAs detector specialized for short wavelengths, it ensures accuracy in hot metal applications like steel and tungsten. Different models offer varying temperature ranges: 2ML covers 250 °C to 800 °C, 2MH spans 385 °C to 1600 °C, and 2MH1 extends from 490 °C to 2000 °C. With optical resolutions of 150:1 for 2ML and 300:1 for 2MH/2MH1, it guarantees precise measurements. Operating efficiently up to 85 °C without cooling, it has a system accuracy of ±0.3% or ±2 °C and repeatability of ±0.1% or ±1 °C. The double laser aiming marks enhance accuracy, providing precise aiming support even at a distance.

Thermography software optris PIX Connect is included and license-free.All infrared cameras are delivered with the thermography software optris PIX Connect, developed specifically for the extensive documentation and analysis of thermal images. The Windows-based PIX Connect software enables users to tailor the infrared cameras to meet specific requirements. It analyses live and recorded temperature data and triggers alarm signals for process integration. The key to leveraging the Optris infrared camera is a correct configuration. This includes detailed device-specific configurations such as frame rate, measurement range adjustments, external communication settings, and USB/Ethernet configurations. Moreover, PIX Connect facilitates firmware updates and the download of configuration files over the Internet.
Optris offers several different SDKs for our Xi and PI thermal imaging cameras. Depending on the operating platform, the infrared camera, the coding language, and the hardware platform, different software interfaces can be utilized:
The Optris IRmobile allows users to set up and commission an Optris infrared pyrometer or infrared camera with an Android smartphone or tablet. This tool becomes handy for commissioning and aligning the infrared camera’s field of view or adjusting the configuration. The app analyzes the connected infrared camera‘s live infrared image stream with auto hot and cold spot detection. For pyrometers, a temperature-time diagram or the video signal is displayed. This app works on most Android devices running 5.0+ with a USB port supporting USB-OTG (On The Go).
